The guys are excited to have our master tagger ePredator (or as some may know him – Ian Hughes) on the show this week. And while ePred is best known for his work within the 3D Internet, our tags this week focus on cool tech and social networking capabilities, with a slight diversion to legal action be brought against Apple. We also indulge in our inner geek with the new Thor trailer, even if some of us weren’t able to view it during the show – Michael R. assures us all that the link is still good (having tested it during the editing of the show). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
