“Aww man, you broke my GI Joe, now I’m ticked off.”

What happens when two tech titans go head to head in a federal court room over technology related patents and copyrights? CEO’s going head to head on the stand with engineers and programmers caught in the crossfire!

Mat Lee here joined by our very own and much missed Eric Finkenbiner and Chris Poirier to help you make sense of it all. What’s the purpose of all this seemingly frivolous litigation? Is there even a point to technology patents? Who knows, but one thing is for sure, there’s a ton of news and transcripts to analyze, and being the Android users we are, we decided to have a special discussion dedicated to the Oracle Google lawsuit. I hope you enjoy listening, and remember, share using the social in the upper right and make sure to subscribe to our weekly Android podcast. Keep reading after the break for links to some of the articles and transcripts we discuss. Thanks!

What a great episode we have for you, starting things off with some Android security news, talk about the latest email phishing scam to grace our inboxes. I’ll give you a hint, it looks like it came from Verizon Wireless. Our favorite photo filter app sells to our favorite social network for a ridiculous amount of money, and some BlueStacks Beta news.
