Lots of interesting linkage here!
September 21, 2012 -- 

Here's a list of the week's news items as discussed in the show, plus a few that didn't make the final cut. We've also got a link to Saskwatch's (featured track) page, go check out a show, and a link to the Ruxcon Breakpoint website. Breakpoint is a great new conference kicking off in Melbourne in October. Mention "Risky Business Apple TV" when you register and the Ruxcon Breakpoint team will send you a shiny new Apple TV! It's limited to the next five people to register, so get in quick!
