In this week’s exciting episode, Andy and the Michael’s are thinking like crazy. Thinking about your tags that is! We get a lesson on how to create your own Augmented Reality program on the Mac, we watch a “scientist” tell us how to get infected by a computer virus, and our driving around town session allows is all about networks and iPads. And if you ever wanted to know the secret behind each show’s thought process, Michael M has provided this mind map.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
