Bits and Bytes with Peter Griffin, and this week another big data breach involving Facebook, as the New York Times reports that it's been allowing dozens of handset makers (including Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Apple) to access personal information about its users. In other news, why has Microsoft just paid US$7.5 billion for GitHub, an online community of computer coders and web developers with 28 million users that's become the world's largest library of computer code?
