The last title in the Call of Duty franchise was one of a handful of entertainment titles to have taken more than $1bn in revenue – can Black Ops equal that?
  
  


Join Aleks Krotoski, Charles Arthur and Jemima Kiss as they tackle this week's technology news on Tech Weekly. The team jump on board the Start-up Shuttle, a new networking concept that brings funders and digital entrepreneurs together on the rails. Is train-based communicating really the answer for tech developers?

The music industry continues to take action against peer to peer filesharing technology, bringing an injunction against Limewire. Charles thinks the move will be ineffective, while Jemima claims the music biz is an easy target for criticism. What's the best new media model for musos?

Keith Stuart speaks to David Vonderhaar from Treyarch at the launch of the latest in the profoundly successful Call of Duty video game series, a franchise that's only been beaten in the box office by four films and two games.

And the generational shift between web 1.0 and 2.0 is cemented as several of Google's greatest developers set sail for Silicon Valley and social networking service Facebook.

Don't forget – Tech Weekly is coming to the Bradford animation festival at the National Media Museum on 9 November. Our guests will include Charles Cecil, Kieron Gillen and Dan Pinchbeck, and it'll all be presented by Keith Stuart.

There's details on how to come join us here – tickets are FREE.

And later in November Tech Weekly is coming to Dublin for a meetup – Jemima has more details here – come and visit us!
