Always nice to be on the air with Leo. We co-hosted On Computers with Leo Laporte and Gina Smith back in the 1990s. Thanks, Leo! It was worth the rush up there this a.m.

This week, we’re talking privacy, data aggregation, a recent US Federal court decision to protect encrypted data via constitutional law, Mobile World Congress 2012, Microsoft Windows 8 Consumer Preview and more.
