This week Matthew Petschl, fire-wielding extraordinaire, and Ryan Rampersad reveal the third annual Physics Day with dry ice and cannons. In the news, we cover everything Apple: Mountain Lion, iPad 3 and Apple TV. After that, we touch upon two failed announcements, Amazon Prime memberships, solid state limits, improved MySQL performance, the horribly designed Windows 8 logo, and more!
Contest
This week, Matthew is hosting a contest. Please take a picture of yourself posing in the famous Steve Jobs Biography portrait image and share it with us. We'll look over the pictures and you will win an honorable mention on the show and super mega ultra bonus points!
