• If you didn't already know, today is the release of Modern Warfare 2, the latest instalment in the Call of Duty franchise.

• The saga of the Google book settlement continues, after the judge overseeing the controversial case gave the parties until Friday to come to a new agreement.

• More snags for Oracle in its ongoing attempt to get the Sun Microsystems deal the rubber stamp: American regulators say the deal is good, but European ones say that it could violate antitrust rules.
