Tech Weekly Podcast: Tom Chatfield celebrates the linguistic diversity of the digital world

In this week's edition of Tech Weekly, Aleks Krotoski talks to author Tom Chatfield about his new book Netyemology, an exploration of the role of the internet in reshaping and accelerating the creation of words and forms of language.

And never judge a laptop by its cover, as Google releases its high-spec Chromebook Pixel laptop, Jemima Kiss is joined by the Guardian's developer advocate Michael Brunton Spall to take a look under its bonnet and see if this slick rival to the Apple PowerBook is up for a fight.

Also, we review the week's tech news, including the demise of the external hard drive and why the UK is resisting a legal right to be forgotten online.
