I have to say in advance that it was really nice to get back behind the mic for another of our On Air podcasts after our two week break. We had only planned for a one week break over the Christmas holidays but my co-host Paul O'Flaherty got hit by a really bad flu that second week, but never fear we are back.

To start off the new year of the show Paul and I (Brett unfortunately had to take a break due to some work and family obligations) run the gamut of news from the geek world. Everything from follow-up to previous shows, to CES, to some excellent trolling and ending off with two television shows near and dear to geeks everywhere.

Here is the headlines that sparked out thoughts:

• 
  
• Tablet Productivity – A World Of Compromise
  
• AT&T stirs up controversy with ‘Sponsored Data’ plan
  
• Valve Talks Xbox One Vs. Steam: “It Would Take Them A While To Catch Up: We’re At 65 Million"
  
• XBOX One Trolling Done The Right Way [Video]
  
•  Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
  
• HBO's Game of Thrones
