Episode Description:
Thirst Labs has created an app that CEO Anuj Verma says could revolutionize the way we take in news and other data online. But will it? Also -- telephone companies aren't worried about competition from Skype, which by some estimates now accounts for one-third of the international calls market. Why not? Hint: there's more money in data plans. And, the guys from "Wedding Crashers" go to Google.
