PODCAST: Greek and Spanish protests, 3-D printing buzz
Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 09:35 Aris Messinis/AFP/Getty Images Demonstrators march on September 26, 2012 in Athens during a 24-hours general strike. Feels like we've seen this before, and yet -- today's angry confrontations and the tens of thousands on the streets in Spain and Greece come at a sensitive time.
