Topics up for discussion this week include National Work From Home Day, or as one member of the team puts it "watching Jeremy Kyle and Trisha".

The team also discusses the contents of Labour MP Geoff 'Buff' Hoon's MP3 player after the former defence secretary declared a 'war of words' on Apple in a newspaper interview this week, slamming the company for running a "monopolistic" practice in the form of iTunes - its proprietary music shop.

And given his track record of launching military campaigns the team even wondered whether Hoon might resort to extreme measures to mete out justice to Apple.

And if you're wondering what Hoon listens to. "He's listening to Arcade Fire and the Arctic Monkeys," said silicon.com community editor Andy McCue. "... or so his aides have told him" - suggesting such answers may owe more to image consultants than taste in music.
