Stewart, Tom and Chris aren't here again. So instead of cancelling the episode - I've decided (and in future episodes) to actually do this small news briefing. Here's the top tech stories news you needed to know - recapped all in under 10 minutes. We'll hopefully be back next week episode 99 - a proper episode 99. - Terence SUBSCRIBE via iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/techgeek-weekly/id384332172) SUBSCRIBE via RSS (http://techgeek.com.au/podcasts/tgpodcast/feed/)
