I commented on Facebook about this, but just saying again, there was a lot of cutting out in this ep :(
Otherwise, enjoyed the show, especially the talk about the apple legal issues with the iPhone SDK...I need to read the user agreement more closely.
Also, Walmart recently decided to keep their DRM servers on: http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/10/10/wal.mart.drm.servers.stay/

I saw the thing about Wal-Mart the other day. I was thinking of doing it as a follow-up story on the next episode. Thanks for pointing that out though.
