Tech Weekly: Last.fm on personal data and competition, plus the Sims 3

The Sims, the little computer people who have sold over 95 million copies leads our programme this week. They have dominated PC gaming for almost a decade and this week the latest iteration of the franchise - Sims 3 - was launched.

Bobbie Johnson is at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles with news too from gaming titans Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

We also cover the furore surrounding the allegations that music site Last.fm released private data to the Recording Industry Association of America. TechCrunch levelled the accusations and Jemima Kiss gets the view of Felix Miller, Martin Stiksel, and Richard Jones, the top trio at London-based business.

We're also asking what the discovery of Google's top secret locations for all their data servers means, and what the prospects are for the latest incarnation of Microsoft's search engine - Bing.

Aleks Krotoski is also joined in the studio by internet scribe Will Head, on loan from The Gadget Show, The Register and many other fine technology publications.
