Jobs with only weeks to live

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, has been ill for years with a rare form of cancer, and after recieving treatment for this illness back in 2004, as well as a liver transplant in 2009, it seems that Jobs's illness has now become too serious and it has been predicted he has only weeks to live.

He has been having meetings with people like President Obama as well as cheif executives of Google and Facebook. One can only assume that he is sorting out business deals and ensuring the success of his company after he has gone.

Just how big an impact his death will make on the world of electronics we are yet to know, but it will make a significant difference to the development of the gadgets in our lives without a doubt.

Posh in the dark and on the list

Gaga - she was Born This Way!

Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammy's on Monday night in a giant egg. She was carried down the red carpet, in possibly her most dramatic entrance ever, by four models and remained in the egg until her performance on stage.

As her new single Born This Way began to play, Gaga hatched from the egg and was born to the audience as she launched into a passionate performance of her new song.

She claims that the 72 hours she spent in the egg prior to the show was a "creative experience" and it was one of the favourite things she has done for the Grammy's to date.

Rihanna's rage rises

After her recent anger at BBC Radio 1 deciding to change the name of her latest single, S&M, as well as censor some of the more risqué lyrics, Rihanna's rage has been added to after Brit Awards producers asked her to 'tone down' her performance of the song at Tuesday's live show.

A Brit insider has claimed that "She believes she won't do the song justice if she has to change the lyrics and it is a breach of her artistic integrity"
