This week, Aleks Krotoski, Jemima Kiss and Charles Arthur met with Adrian Hon, co-founder of creative new media games agency Six to Start to find out about its new Alternative Reality Game for the final book of Charlie Higson's Young Bond series. The company specialises in creating new forms of storytelling across all interactive spheres, with projects under its belt from the BBC, Channel 4, Cancer Research UK and Penguin Publishing. Now Six to Start is attempting its first ARG for kids – and with a franchise like Bond, the team discuss digital ownership, user-generated content and the challenges of creating stories for digital natives.
And after Microsoft's Vista OS was declared dead by pundits, Charles asks whether the next generation system is better than XP. Security-wise, it certainly seems so. Joining him to discuss the issues are Mike Erwin, from Webroot, and Bruce Schneier, who is BT's chief security technology officer.
Plus the team gets dirty with the latest news stories, from the unfortunate – and untrue – demise of Steve Jobs to the latest Microsoft acquisition, ciao.co.uk. All this and more, including your views on the blogs, on Tech Weekly – your one-stop-shop for gadgety goodness.
