The Michaels welcome back John Martin from Reallusion to talk about all the cool new stuff they are doing with iClone and Widgetcast. Because of this we end up having our longest what’s cool section. While we are all caught up in WorldCup fever we begin our trash talking required for the games this weekend. Andy takes a bit of time off, in order to play with his new iPhone 4.0, but he’s kind enough to provide us with a cool video on how to use your TomTom mount with the new phone. And speaking of videos and the Worldcup, YouTube joins the fray with a new Vuvuzela button. So sit back, grab a big glass of sweet tea and fire up the Vuvuzela, and enjoy the show!
