Episode 67: WiiJacket

This week we talk about nintendo's free Wii Jacket offer they are doing - great of them to do that! /As well as that, we see the cool tech thats not in the future, but just about to come out - such as instant boot operating systems.

I don't know about you, but the ability to jump into using your computer for basic Voice calls as well as Internet use (and youtube viewing!) is pretty tempting, especially for laptops that like to have as little going as possible for battery life.
