SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: March 29, 2012

Happy Thursday, everyone. It's time to check out what made news on this day, as we approach ever more closely the end of the month.

And on some brighter news, we have this – HTC One X caugt in the wild.Featured: In today's featured story, our Don Reisinger opines on the future of technology, the politics involved, and what it might mean for the establishment in the technology industry.

How far is that?
