Week In Review 2013W44
Google announced a phone I can’t see using a OS my Google Nexus 7 doesn’t have yet.
Meanwhile Microsoft is working to keep bringing Skype to the level of crapiness we expect from them.
On rather surprising news Cisco is releasing a BSD licensed H.264 stack which will probably end the format wars and hell freezes over to make way for Intel fabing ARM with Altera chips.

On this side of the pond UK started making political arrests and the EU parliament finds everybody spies on everybody.
From the world of awesome machines SR-71’s successor, the SR-72.
