Welcome to an ultra-rare Leap Day edition of Newsbytes.

It’s time for a late-late night Newsbytes, at least when I’m writing and publishing this post. It’s been a super-busy week for me, as I’ve been involved in managing an arcade at the Slopes Arcade that was a part of the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit in Salt Lake City, UT. My personal thanks to »
