• The big news overnight was the announcement by Google that it is going to stop censoring its search results in China - in what the company says is a response to surveillance by the state. The move, which is basically giving two fingers to the authorities, could lead to it being kicked out of the country - but in any case, brings an end to four troubled years of censorship.
• Initial reports from around the web suggested that the censorship was already being lifted: however, a Google spokesman confirmed to me that was definitely not the case. The secondary question becomes what happens next: how does this effect the work of the Global Network Initiative? Do Microsoft and Yahoo (and other western companies) make similar changes? How does Beijing react?
• Away from questions of censorship, we're finally wrapping up our coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show with the latest episode of Tech Weekly. We're talking to Pure about their plan to expand digital radio into the US, and representatives of a UK government mission to promote British technology companies at the show. All that and more here.
