Erick Schonfeld is back with another episode of TechCrunched. Here are some of the news highlights this week.

The double-A duo doesn’t have a totally monopoly on the smartphone market but their numbers are heading in that direction. MG takes a look at Windows 8 and wonders if Microsoft’s to-be-released software will resonate with consumers.

It seems the company is closing a round at a $4 billon dollar valuation.
