News and Reviews for October 24th 2012

news

So it’s time for the news again, I meant to update yesterday here but I just got ties up with a project that led me from one thing to another and I still never got done with the original project. It took me all day and into the evening and at that point I didn’t want to do anything else. So read the news and check back for some PR and maybe a quick review later..
