Minnov8 Gang 213 – Not in the Bathroom!

Good stuff to discuss this week and we spend a bit of time on Google Glass. Will it be a hit? Is there anything beyond voyeurism it can do? Will (shudder) people wear them in to the bathroom?

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Music: Bernie’s Tune from Chris Greene Quartet. From the podsafe Music Alley.
