We’re halfway through this super short week already, so let’s take a break and see what’s been going down this morning. We’ve got gadget news good and bad right here in our lunchtime lowdown roundup.

First up, let’s talk Apple. Taking a break from iPhone rumours, we heard some new whispers about a new MacBook Pro instead – made out of super sexy carbon fibre.

Speaking of carbon fibre, we also revealed that Vertu is prepping a smartphone made out of the material, fiddling while its parent company Nokia burns: it announced today that it’s axing 4,000 jobs.

Elsewhere, in gaming, we took a look at the full scale of the PlayStation Network hack – are you affected? Regardless, Sony should be ashamed. We also interviewed the father of video gaming, the 89 year old inventor of the Magnavox Odyssey. Check out what he had to say!
