Tech Weekly podcast: Facebook buys Instagram for $1bn

On this week's podcast with Aleks Krotoski, we look at Facebook's astounding acquisition of the 551-day-old Instagram photo app for a cool $1bn and ask if this means that we're in the middle of a new technology bubble?

Also on the podcast, we look at the latest in the patent acquisition rush – this time a whopper of a haul by Microsoft from AOL – plus how good is the Nokia Lumina 900 and what Larry Page has to say to his shareholder one year after being in the CEO job.

Joining Aleks in the studio is the Guardian's technology editor, Charles Arthur, alongside Dan Catt from the Guardian's software development team and the man behind the Guardian's Apps Blog, Stuart Dredge.
