Show Notes:

The Internet Advisor Team looks back on a stormy week online and off:

  • Superstorm Sandy brings the East Coast to its knees and sharks are reported swimming in Jersey towns. Where did you go for breaking news?
  • Windows 8 Phone arrives and Windows Surface RT begins to get grudging respect.
  • Apple’s Map Flap leads to Scott Forestall’s firing and not everyone is crazy about the iPad Mini, particularly its price.

Rich Jaroslovsky, Bloomberg News analyst joins us to talk about the unfolding world of Windows 8 and its devices and to comment on the upheaval at Apple.

 

 

Mike Ammann, President/CEO, San Joaquin Partnership.  Mike is a frequent guest and a man with a vision for computers and the Internet.  What will computing look like in the near future?
