We would tell you where Michael M was this week, but given the tags this week on the lack of privacy in social media, we are sure you can find out yourself! We wonder whatever happened to Sony’s Playstation Home. We take some time and review the privacy settings of Facebook and other social media networks. And finally: has augmented reality finally gone mainstream with the iPhone? All this, and more of your tags, this week on Dogear-Nation.
