On this long episode we have our good buddy Nate join the show again. We start as usual with some banter and catch up to see what everyone's been up to. We then get into some interesting home theaters and battlestations.  For news we've got some articles on tech, copyright, security, and entertainment. We decide to wait on Doug to pop in at the end, to see what he's been up to and to get his take on some articles, and also to rile him up!

Hosts and guests: Ian, Frank, Nate, Doug
