Paul explains one of his recent articles about buying into ecosystems, rather than devices. Andrew recently tried out two Windows Phone 8 devices. And Andrew and Paul discuss the next gen Xbox and Black Friday.

Paul, how about discussing UEFI in a article or podcast. As root kits become more tenacious, my opinion is that UEFI is one of the most important features of Windows 8, but there is little mention of it anywhere (except for complaints by Linux users.) In fact, the Microsoft on-line store doesn't even mention whether the only desktop in the store supports UEFI. So, tell us whether any Microsoft Signature systems have it. And you might want to have a TWIT Network two-part series where you tell us about what systems have it and then Security Now discusses how it works and whether it has already been circumvented.
