This week our Skype is down, so we jury-rig a broadcast solution via iPhone, hence our spotty audio. We discuss the FCC’s weak ruling on Net Neutrality, Mark Zuckerberg: Man of the Year & generous philanthropist, Yahoo ‘sunsets’ several services (& people), Gawker’s passwords are breached, your apps are watching you, and Google launches their Ngram viewer.
