Ep. 1127: Microsoft and EU browser roulette begins

Show summary: So the EU and Microsoft have finally settled their differences and will begin the browser ballot with no less than 12 browsers to choose from. Is this a good thing? Also Intel is now under the gun from the US FTC. What did they do this time? Listen to find out. And Cherrypal is selling a $99 laptop they bill as slow and sufficient. Nice.
