Tonight on Tech's Last Call, we celebrate a slow news week by bringing our part-time gaming editor, Steven Doss, to guest host. There may not have been much news, but what they did send us was some choice fruit. The big fruit company, Apple, has announcement forthcoming. Samsung and LG seem to be betting their fruit on flexible displays in phones, and Meg Whitman throws her fruit at Microsoft calling them a competitor rather than a partner. Also, we have game reviews, beer in space, and a remote control cockroach. And you thought things only got crazy when Trey was out.
