This week on the GeekWire Radio Show: Microsoft wants to put a computer on your wrist, Starbucks wants to deliver a cup of coffee to your desk, and the University of Washington wants to give a boost to computer science education.

Plus a new GeekWire Trivia Challenge and an amazing App of the Week that you’ll wish you had back in high school.

We’re joined in the studio by special guest Ed Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates Chair at the University of Washington Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
