Techgrump 49: Ada is NOT the lady I mentioned

And its… Christmas but theres still plenty of rage on the Internets…

This time its a slightly grumpy bunch including Ian, Tom, Maria and brand new guest Kate (although she has been on a previous show which was lost)…

Dominated by the SOPA headlines from across the water, we look at the whole move away from GoDaddy after their blog entry. Which they later backfooted on… Saving breath for a number of rather good things including 52firstdates and AI Class.
