We do the standard Round Table Intros with the usual jokes and digressions thrown in…

Bob talks about Geo-Caches and how he has so many of them in the North Shore mountains. Bonnie said Geo-Caching is like Foursquare.

James said this video was THREE YEARS AGO… before Andrew had a mini Andrew. Margaret asks Craig if he knows Andrew is having two more mini Andrews?

We talk about:

Australian Prime Minister putting fundamentalist Christian in his place over gay rights

Cricket match

And more…

Nexus 5 and Android Kit Kat

Ken asked if anyone heard about a Google desktop OS coming out soon.

We talk about Chrome OS and how it works. The Browser is the operating system.

Nestle fights a facebook fan…

Voicemail feedback from Paul the Rock God:

Paul is getting too much wordpress comment spam and is wondering what to do to stop it?

We all suggest Akismet which is a plugin that stops 99% of comment spam.

Andrew brings up facebook or google + comments which also eliminate spam because you have to comment using your social profile.

We talk about the Social Comments plugin.

Bob likes the Pulse Hover plugin which adds social sharing options right on the picture.

Paul asks what happens when WordPress upgrades… does it break the plugin?

Andrew recommends a podcast called WordPress Plugins from A to Z.

Sanj and Andrew talk about ways to prevent your site from breaking due to plugins.

James posted a facebook message about Nokia being purchased by Microsoft and Norm called in to say that what will be left of Nokia?

We talk about the Nokia deal…

Sanj talks about Steve Jobs made fun of Bill Gates for not controlling the hardware.

Bob and Andrew said this is exactly what Blackberry should do… sell the hardware division and license the operating systems.

Norm calls in to say that it is the weirdest thing that Balmer gets to stay and bring in a successor even though he was completely unsuccessful.

Bonnie talks about potential successors for Balmer.
