Well its been what seems like a long two-week break away from editing Bits & Bytes and I have come to the realization that whether we diligently blog or not does not stop the world from turning or the clocks from tickibg. I’ve also understand that the work is as much for us the bloggers as for our readers if not more so and that every now and then we need to force ourselves to take a break to clear our heads and not give in to the pressures of arbitrary deadlines. Now that lesson is locked in and its time to get back to the business at hand. So what in the world of tech has happened during the break?
