Tech Weekly: Google Street View row rolls on, Robert Llewellyn on Carpool

On this week's Tech Weekly, the comedian and presenter Robert Llewellyn joins Aleks Krotoski to talk about Carpool, his hugely popular web chatshow with celebrities, scientists and the general public, set in his car. Tech Crunch's Mike Butcher jumps on board too, giving his insights into the top news stories this week.

The trio talk about Google Street View's latest privacy fumbles, as the UK's information commissioner re-opens its case against the mapping service. Allegations around the world suggest that the company collected email addresses, email content and passwords in addition to the photos that make up the 3D representations of cities, inspiring privacy campaigners to call foul.

Robert is vocal in his concerns about the source of the £530m earmarked by the coalition government in last week's comprehensive spending review for broadband rollout; the BBC isn't a source for such infrastructure, he says. Mike concurs. And all three are curious about the future of software distribution via Lion OS for Mac, but what will the walled garden mean for consumers?

Don't forget – Tech Weekly is coming to the Bradford animation festival at the National Media Museum on 9 November. Our guests will include Charles Cecil, Kieron Gillen and Dan Pinchbeck, and it'll all be presented by Keith Stuart.

There's details on how to come join us here – tickets are FREE.

And later in November Tech Weekly is coming to Dublin for a meetup – Jemima has more details here – come and visit us!
