Shownotes for episode 25 - Newscast for 1/12/2006 and Anniversary Special

This is not a typical podcast for us (again). With Dick our news hound being on the road, we were a bit weak on the news items. On the other hand, we got to see him in person and we all had a grand old time recording live in the same room. Plus, we have a secret guest.

The main topics that we cover are the Developer.com awards, new goodies from Apple and a few tidbits from Dicks visit at Sun.
