Andrew was wondering about upgrading to OS X Lion. He writes, "A lot of the features of lion are obviously aimed at notebook users, so as a desktop user without a magic trackpad, is it really worth my while upgrading from snow leopard which pretty much does what i need?" Will Smith from Tested.com joins Veronica to talk OS X Lion Upgrades... and if you should wait!
Philip's "trying to find a way to track my finances better and more securely." He's discovered Mint.com, but is "a little leery of giving out my financial logins and passwords." He's wondering if it's safe, and if we have any experience with it. Veronica's been using Mint for years, and she explains what it does best and why she trusts it in the video!
