Forget talk radio and news shows. My top 10 list of useful podcasts and IPTV shows for techies. »

I figured it was time to take a break from the tutorials for a moment and have some fun. Well, that’s not completely true. NPR is having one of their two week fund drives and I can’t personally stand to sit through that on the way to work. It would be different, if once you [...]
