A day late but with TechMonkey on vacation Linuxchic was left to dust off her mad editing skillz and had to remember how prep the show.

In this episode we update you on the latest antitrust charges being leveraged against Intel by the EU,  SCO’s legal woes in the battle for Unix intellectual rights with Novell and what this all could mean for Sun, emails suggesting collusion between Nvidia and ATI, the new Linux MySpace PC, the availability of OpenMoko’s FreeRunner open source mobile phone, Google Android running on the Nokia N810, Google Android openness in question, the new T-Mobile Sidekick 2008. We talk about the DNS vulnerability that has everyone in a patch frenzy, discuss the new design on Last.fm, and review a new website, Twing.com.
