What's in this week's technology section? Find out here

This week's Technology section is here, on paper. And here, on the web.

In Toy soldiers, Pat Kane looks at the increasingly explicit links between digital gaming and the military. You might have thought that Ender's Game was just a story back in 1977, but with "games" like America's Army being designed to recruit people, is the tale becoming reality? Why the music industry needs a Canute: Vic Keegan on how it's not the young who have abandoned the business - quite the reverse. Ignore the spin: the best is yet to come. The Xbox 360 is being launched this week (if you can get one) - but should you rush out and (try to) get one, or wait a month or two? Our games experts have the lowdown.

Lighten up, developers, and let the kids have fun: Keith Stuart argues that the videogames industry has lost touch with its inner child.

This week's letters: the bit of the section that you write. (We like that.) Ask Jack: the bit of the section that you write half of - the questions. Jack Schofield provides the answers. Don't miss the Ask Jack blog, either. Plus Innovations: Skype 2.0, Shure E3C headphones, the Orange SPV C600, and Google Space (it's a space run by Google).
