    <description>Merge Conflict is a weekly discussion with Frank and James on all things development, technology, &amp; more.

Much more than just another mobile development podcast, Merge Conflict, reaches all areas of development including desktop, server, and of course mobile. They also cover fun things happening in the world of technology and gaming and whatever else happens to be on Frank's and James' minds.
