Abstract
Steve Ramsay joins us on the podcast as we scratch our heads over some strange decisions by the big tech companies, namely Microsoft's $8.5 billion acquisition of Skype and Google's entry into the netbook (or "Chromebook") market. We also mourn the death of the Flip camera, killed by its similarly unlikely owner, Cisco. To end the show we return to our bread and butter of digital libraries to catch up with the Digital Public Library of America, which announced a summertime "beta sprint." Perhaps they heard our frequent pleas for "less talk, more grok" and "less yak, more hack"?
