Google releases a shiny new browser called Chrome this week, which also happens to mark 10 years that the company's been incorporated. We have an assessment. Also, a famous French blogger uproots his family and moves to San Francisco to start Seesmic, a kind of Twitter for video. Then, we hear about the dark world of online poker, and some of the far-out ideas of geoengineering. And we wax lyrical to end the show, with the Large Hadron Collider rap. Show notes, links and pics at tinyurl.com/wtpblog.

A full podcast this week. We lead with the strange tale of iTunes in China over the last week or so. Seems that it keeps going, well, on and off. And we hear about the iPhone Girl, and about a possible crackdown on Internet news portals in South Korea. Then, an in-depth look at the issues and technologies surrounding music piracy on the Internet. Also, a British cartographer says online mapping services are killing our appreciation for map-making. And we end by asking some cows which way is north.

We lead with a look at what the US has in mind, technology-wise, for a missile defense shield based partly in Poland, and partly in the Czech Republic. Also, in the wake of the news that the US has busted a global cyber-crime ring, we take an in-depth look at just how safe your identity is. And we end with a great little piece that explores why the Japanese just aren't that crazy about the iPhone.

Georgia and Russia fight it out on the ground, and apparently on the Internet as well. Also, we take an in-depth look at the technologies and techniques involved in mining the deep ocean floor. Then, to Norway to listen in to something called a Telemegaphone. We'll also learn that, shock, the beer goggle phenomenon is real. And we end with a look at some labor-saving technologies from the Victorian Era. Good fun.

We lead this week with news that a major global group of cybercriminals has been busted for identity theft. We'll dig deep into that story, and we'll dig deep into electronic waste in the West African nation of Ghana. Then, our semi-regual check in with the folks at the AfriGadget blog. And we end this week with a fun take on some new research on, yawn, boredom.
