This week in Tech a Yahoo update, one birthday and a glimmer of hope that our Lab Rat is saved (along with Herne).
Applications this week feature an “archiving” utility for DVD’s (yeah right), making sense of those pesky EULA’s and switching off your PC by remote.
Packed sites and services this week including some tools to further demonstrate that you don’t need Acrobat and an awesome way to experience retro gaming.
As well as the Mac Lab Rat and your valued feedback this is the Global Geek Podcast Number 77! Enjoy.
