This week on the podcast, Rory and Ian sat down with the intention of talking about the week's most interesting tech news stories -- happily, it went off without a hitch. We spoke to Flora on the phone from Barcelona and she tipped us off to the coolest telephone-related happenings at Mobile World Congress. Also on the agenda was Kodak claiming that both Apple and BlackBerry infringe its patents, and Google's legal problems and privacy concerns over Buzz. In WTF this week, we learnt that schools are using their students' webcams to spy on them while they're at home. Shocking stuff.

What's hot from the annual Mobile World Congress extravaganza? We asked the ever astute Flora Graham to run us through the most exciting events from the show, and tell us who she thinks is winning the battle for our cheek space. We also asked you, our delightful and intelligent listeners, to tell us what you thought. Results were somewhat surprising, but there's still time to vote if you want to have your say.
WTF?
If there's one thing we know for certain, children need to be protected from people who want to spy on them over the Internet. But what happens when the people spying on them are their teachers, and how do you legislate for them remotely activating the laptop's webcam to watch them without their knowledge? It defies belief.
