Tech Weekly: Oracle buys Sun and electric cars

On this week's Tech Weekly, Aleks Krotoski, Jemima Kiss, Bobbie Johnson and Charles Arthur welcome a host of experts to analyse the Oracle-Sun acquisition deal, the implications of the Pirate Bay results and the practicalities of the Government's electric car strategy.

Charles and Phil Dawson, VP of Research at Gartner, tackle the crucial questions about the Oracle-Sun arrangement - what does this mean for the current tech landscape? Has IBM lost out?

Jemima gets answers from Jo Oliver, general counsel for the IFPI, on the recording industry's unsurprising view on last week's Pirate Bay trial ruling.

Finally, Robert Evans from Cenex talks us through the expectations for battery-operated electric cars, in the wake of the announcement of the £250m strategy to transform Britain's roads into a low-carbon network.

Bobbie gives us the skinny on the feeling in Silicon Valley for the USA's new CTO, Aneesh Chopra, appointed by President Obama last week.

All this, plus the latest news and your views from the blogs, Twitter and Facebook on Tech Weekly.
