Listen "TechByter Worldwide 2013.09.08: DivX, a Good Video Player Gone Bad; Buying a New Router; Fraudsters Continue to Annoy; and Short Circuits."

Episode Synopsis

The video player DivX played a nasty trick on me this week, so it's gone from my computer. Router technology has changed and you may be in the market for one soon. I have a tale to tell about that. How many fake messages do you get each week from people who want to be buddies on Facebook or LinkedIn? How about Skype? In Short Circuits: The FTC catches a webcam maker in a lie, a new look for the new Yahoo, Amazon combines real books and e-books, and Ballmer (neither gone nor forgotten) does what's probably his final big deal.
