CNET News.com reporter Ina Fried is just back from Latin America, where she traveled to Brazil and Colombia to explore the use of computing in Latin America, as well as efforts to bridge the digital divide. She's had just enough time to recover from her jet lag to join Leslie Katz in the studio with a look back at her journey.

The story of Mac clone maker Psystar took yet another turn Thursday, as News.com learned that the controversial computer company violated the terms of its agreement with its payment processor.

It's not easy being an indie video game developer in the billion dollar game industry, but News.com's Kara Tsuboi caught up with one developer who may have just hit the jackpot with a Nintendo WiiWare contract.
