Welcome to Episode 115. This week it is an early morning recording session on Friday the 13th, by the way nothing went wrong during recording, to bring you a snapshot of this past weeks tech news.
I kick things off reminding you about the TechPodcast Networks CES 2014 coverage next month in Las Vegas. Each year TPN has a group of partner shows on the ground out there to bring you interviews with product teams and additional product demos to show you the new tech heading our way.
