Gigawhat Episode 17: Getting Kinected
IGN Q&A on Kinect (Note: There is brief nudity!)
Microsoft wants you to connect you XBOX to the new Kinect while Facebook takes you to new places. We got quite a few updates on apps and webpages for your smartphone.
Andrew Hoover of The GMen Show fills in this week for @iyaz as we tell you why you won’t get a single cent from Google’s $8.5 million settlement and why you might want to start checking in to places with Facebook.
