Episode 16: One Less Thing
Now that HP’s WebOS is going away, we all have one less thing to worry about!! (for better or worse) We discussed that, among a bunch of other things, with John Wolters (@jochenwolters) who stopped by for another AWESOME guest appearance before he headed back to Germany. Since we all end up having too much fun and talking for hours, we decided to make it an “all news” show to avoid filling up everyone’s hard drive (mission accomplished!). Give it a listen and leave a comment or two telling us what you think.
Enjoy!

- When logged into a web app and you need to check what a page looks like to the public (in the logged-out state), simply open a new Chrome window in Incognito mode. This will create a completely fresh browser session with no saved cookies, allowing you to see exactly what is publicly visible.
