We start from a town that has no internet and reflect on how quickly the last 8 years of progress feel very distant, then discuss the recent extreme examples of companies challenging Net Neutrality. Ballmer says Windows Phones should run Android apps & maybe he’s right?

Google’s Chromebooks make up half of US classroom devices. As parents, are we comfortable with Google having a lifetime of history on our kids?

Plus some follow up on a previous Kickstarter of the week with a special guest, the likely conclusion to a five year old tech story & the inside scoop on the Jupiter Broadcasting SWAG for the Holidays giveaway!
