nother very full show this week. We start in Zagreb, Croatia where we hear about how opposition activists got arrested after protesting, and organizing real-world protests, via Facebook. Also, we trace an AIDS medication from where it was made, to where it was taken. A global journey, indeed. Also, what happened to the Large Hadron Collider, and when will it be fixed? Good questions. Then, we talk with Drew Cogbill, who is trying to create a social network for people who don't have access to the Internet. Hint: think phones, people. And we end with our long-promised segment on world leaders who like their high-tech. Good times.
