Tech Weekly: MacWorld, CES and OLPC

Bobbie's been on the road for the past week or so, making sure that the latest episode of Tech Weekly brings you the coolest news from the sequence of technology shows that dominate the west Coast of the US - and the industry - at this time of year.

Hot off the press is the latest from Macworld - including first reactions to the new MacBook Air. We discuss the developments on show at last week's CES (and ask who's going to take on Bill Gates's keynote next year). Plus, we've got an interview with Nicholas Negroponte, founder of One Laptop Per Child, who explains why he thinks the project doesn't deserve the stick it has been getting in the past few months.

In the news there's iTunes harmonisation; a traffic boom for online video sites; the retirement of Jeff Raikes; and Andy Grove's funding of research into Parkinson's.

The studio is graced with the presence of host Aleks Krotoski, who is joined by the twin talents of Charles Arthur and Jemima Kiss. Bobbie is on the road - with varying degrees of a terrible cold!

And while you're here: we might be doing well in the iTunes chart, but it's still early days - this is only our fourth show! Tell us what you'd like to hear, or subjects you'd like us to cover.
