There's actual coffee with this edition's Coffee Break as Ken Newquist and Courtney Bentley talk about their caffeine fix from the newly-relocated Cosmic Cup. In ITS news, they have an announcement about the WW2 Community Web Server Rebuild Project, and in Tech News they discuss Apple's laptop battery recall and Penn State's new podcast project. Finally, in Help News, they talk about why students may still want an All-LAN cable when wireless is available and announce the Consulting Center's Fall Semester hours.
