Sydney’s answer to Melbourne’s Myki is here – but someone please explain why does it exist in its current form; while Tim Cook gets interviewed for the first time. And we discuss the under-$250 Windows Phone 8 device – the Lumia 620 – but is it worth it? All this and more on TECHGEEK Weekly.
Terence and Chris are on, Stewart is not – he’s in Melbourne. So any Melbourne people out there, don’t forget to stalk him! Also, programming note, we’re back for our last episode for 2012 next week.
