On Sunday, Northern Italy was rocked by a magnitude-6.0 earthquake. In the process, many cheese factories in the region suffered damage-and it is estimated that over 300,000 wheels of cheese, thought to be worth at least £202 million, have been destroyed.

The region, just north of the city of Bologna, is most famous for its Parmesan and Grana Padano. As the earthquake struck, wheels of the cheeses-which can weigh up to 90 pounds-came toppling from their storage shelves.

There's no word on what will happen to the cheese, but you can bet some of the factory's employees are rolling them home as we speak. There will be some pretty stinky pasta doing the rounds this week, that's for sure.

JCB's Toughphone range of horrendously pimped black & yellow mobiles has been updated with a proper smartphone option, thanks to the Android-powered Toughphone Pro-Smart.

However, it is neither very smart or particularly professional. Beneath that appalling rugged plastic casing sits a small 3.2? touch screen, which is powered by a rather weedy 800MHz processor. Android 2.3 is the OS. It's a 2009 Android phone in a 1979 case, basically.

It's not all bad, though. JCB's added a 2000mAh battery to the thing, so it ought to stay alive for longer then the numerous higher-spec Android models out there, plus you get a two-year warranty thanks to the protective nature of that monstrous plastic and its IP67 water-resistant certification.
