Summary

This week on the podcast we’re discussing the ins and outs of Apple’s latest updates to their mobile and desktop operating systems, breaking warranties with Linux, and only sort of caring about the “death” of unlimited data. Also, we’re helping you decide if you should build an XBMC home theater PC or just get Google TV, figuring out if your iDevice will actually run the new features in iOS 6, and learning that you actually can build your own iPod.
