This evening, Martin, Steve, Andy, and Joseph Tackled some stuff that just makes you say “duh.”

We went straight from there to a sticky topic that’s been making the rounds lately about AT&T:

To lighten the mood, we talked about some of Facebook’s recent decisions and how it’s affecting the greater Facebook population:
