Plus we dive into the latest scary (or not) story about Google, Android and hacking, and catch up on the latest in Chromebooks.

Jerry and Phil sit down (via Skype) with Falcon Pro developer Joaquim Verges to get the lowdown on Falcon Pro. Find out where the app came from, its quick rise to becoming one of the top Android Twitter apps — and, yes, how it became one of the first to hit (hard) against the new Twitter API rules that limit the number of users an app can have.
Mad props to Joaquim for hanging out with us. You can download Falcon Pro at getfalcon.pro, and find more info in Joaquim's announcement on Google+.
