This week’s episode of OMG/JK is a bit top-heavy. There simply wasn’t a ton of news this week beyond the one giant fight that broke out between Google and Microsoft over the patent issue. Channeling that spirit, Jason and I get into an argument about the argument.
Is Google right? Is Microsoft right? Do they both look like huge asses?
Then we move on to talk a bit about the new Gmail Labs functionality that adds a third viewing pane to Google’s online email service. On this we mainly agree: it needs a lot of work.
Watch the episode above and find some relevant links to what we talk about below. And yes, I have a giant beard.
