This weeks podcast was a blast. Not only did we have a great time recording the show, we are joined by Keith Murray who does our Mac Lab Rat Report each week. Thanks for jumping on board Keith!

You might be wondering about the title, that becomes evident as the show goes on. Don’t miss this one!

This week in Tech we explore a test of the GPL, a warning from Apple and the Thunderbird revolution.

Applications this week sports a tool that will rid your PC of Norton, forever (don’t use that pile of crap OK), the first tool that uses content resizing and some very nice stuff coming out of the AIR platform.

In sites and services this week we have a new “micro” blogging platform, a slide show to rival Flickr and a site that grabs album art from an unlikely source.

As well as the featured Firefox extensions, the updates, the Mac Lab Rat Report LIVE and your valued feedback. Huge, massive, big show.
