The big news this week was the epic hack that happened to Wired reporter Mat Hanan. He was able to track down the hacker and learn exactly how the accounts were compromised... and it may have wide-ranging impact on how we think about cyber security. Lots of detail in the show.
Joe was on his own again this week. No major audio problems (yay!) but he does need a pop filter and needs to tweak his levels a bit. Lots of tech news. A little bit of laughter. A flub here and there. And, as always, lots of rambling.
