While Andy jet sets back home from a week long conference, the Michaels take the opportunity to record a show at our favorite coffee shop Bean Traders. With a bit of cool jazz in the background, we talk about a great set of tech-no-tronic tags and ponder how much longer Facebook can survive with all the privacy issues which keep surfacing.

After some major user issues with talkshoe Michael, Michael, and Andy do our much hyped Windows 7 launch party. We thank the team over at BeanTraders coffee shop for allowing us to record the show with a live group of listeners. Even though this was our Windows 7 party show, our great listener tags gave us some great 3D internet and Tech-no-tronic topics. Keep on tagging!
