Super Mario Galaxy Delays Episode #4 of the Appsolute Tech Show…
Friday, December 28th, 2007First a format change because of episode #103 of LabRats, then Super Mario Galaxy sent Dr. Apps into his own sort of orbit. Ok, maybe it was the holidays too.

We just realized that Episode #3 was supposed to be released on the 6th (which, coincidently was The Apprentice’s birthday). Anyway, we are recording Episode #3 tomorrow and releasing it [...]
