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.

Michael, Michael, and Andy get some time to talk to Keith Klemba and Wesley Mukai from SAP. Keith and Wes have been working on integrating Avatars into SAP’s technology. They have just unveiled the concept at this year’s Sapphire conference. Imagine the 3-D internet coming to a purchase order near you. We also have a great set of listener tags, and during the show we realize that it is the 30th anniversary of two things which have shaped our lives – PacMan and The Empire Strikes Back!
