Susan Philipsz has won the Turner Prize this Monday — with a recording of her voice. In a customary fashion this triggered again discussions around the whole subject — so do you think that is art and did it deserve the prize — or are you simply not bothered by arts?

X-Factor 2010 Wagner is to be investigated over his benefits claims about his frozen shoulders, even though he was clearly seen on the show throwing in some energetic dance moves.

Do you think he is a benefit cheat or is it just a misunderstanding, as allegedely he did communicate his taking part in the show to the benefits office? Bearing in mind the audience of the show and as such the payments he would have received, do you think he should be entitled to more benefits pay?

Coronation Street marks its 50th birthday with a £1 million worth of a tram crash — and then try to keep its viewers engaged by using digital media, as reported by The Guardian.

Keira Knightley’s flat in Mayfair has been broken into by burglars, raising concerns that they might try to sell personal contents from the laptops stolen.

Arguably this wouldn’t cause such concerns to the CID brigade under normal circumstances, and such concerns have only been raised because of the celebrity status Keira has. Would you agree or have you known of instances when the police has shown increased concern regarding personal contents available on a laptop/PC being stolen?

So Paloma got kicked out of “The Apprentice” Wednesday night.

Pizza Express announced recently installing iPod docks and domes in their outlets — such that customers can personalize their dining experience while in there.

Do you see this as technology taken to the extreme or an useful addendum to their operation? Is it going to last or will we see the novelty wear off soon ?

A few hints from a Sony exec recently points towards a “PlayStation phone” coming from Sony next; considering the way PSP went and the fact that rivals like Apple and HTC are already providing games-enabled handsets, how do you think this will be received by the public?
