In this episode, we discuss Firefox, Google Android, and iPhone apps. We sing Happy birthday to the iPod in Chinese. Adam checks if he is a girl. As always, we tell you about some cool news in tech and science, and, in this episode, plants and houses move! Girls are more obsessive about looks, and Ben really liked shopping for clothes.
