Our special guest this week is Mark Twomey, also known as Storagezilla.
This week we discuss...

- Google vs Oracle: Former Sun CEO: Jonathan Schwartz, Sun Founder: Scott McNealy and Java creator James Gosling contradict each other and demonstrate why Sun Microsystems was a disaster.
- Klouchebag is the rage... this week: Klouchebag is the "Anti-Klout" Twitter influence score based on Anger, Retweet Abuse, Social Apps and English Misuse.
- The Twitter account of the week is @PinlessPics and the blog of the week is http://textfromdog.tumblr.com.
