Tech Weekly: Multimedia Murdoch - Google on paywalls and MySpace on music

It's our 100th programme (that is, if you don't include this one) and there's a definite Rupert Murdoch theme.

First we unpick the implications of Google's new 'First Click Free' plan - will it be enough to pacify the press baron, and what will it mean for the average reader's pocket? We'll be talking to Matt Brittin, head of Google UK, to find out.

And we hear more from the Murdoch stable when we find out all about the new plans for MySpace Music - we'll be discussing whether it's going to be enough to recapture those heady days when it was the world's leading social network.

Bobbie brings us news of plans to give schoolchildren internet safety lessons, MIT winning a hi-tech challenge set by US military research agency Darpa, the launch of real-time entries into search results pages by Google and Sir Richard Branson finally unveiling the first vehicle specifically built to take tourists into space.

Don't forget - we want your tech highlights of 2009 and your predictions for what's going to be big in 2010 - leave them below please and we'll be reviewing them over this week for our Christmas programmes.
