With precious few shopping days left until Christmas, we can forgive you for spending the weekend out and about picking gifts, drinking mulled wine and generally enjoying the festive cheer. Fortunately, we did all our shopping early this year, so we spent the weekend keeping our finger on the ever beating pulse of tech news, instead of spending it in shopping malls.
So, put your feet up (perhaps not literally if you’re in an office) and spend 10 minutes catching up on all the tech news you missed from the last two days:
