Beautifully horrible. You have to watch it if you ever liked Spaced.

Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 iPhone patents

bob — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:00:03 +0000

Something something “great artists steal”?

In all likelihood these patents are for things that should never have been allowed to be patented anyway. Didn’t I read that Google was granted a patent on location-aware advertising today?

Rumor: UK iPad pricing

bob — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:07:07 +0000

Sounds on the ball to me – I was guessing £399. Remember kids, the UK price includes VAT, but the US price doesn’t include their sales tax.

Importantly: will it be eligible for the 15% higher ED discount?

Artificial Flight and Other Myths (a reasoned examination of A.F. by top birds)

bob — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:20:05 +0000

The voice of the skeptic~

Even if we were capable of completely achieving the above, how would we ever know if it was a true bird? Where does flight really reside? We may build a functioning, flapping wing, but what if the essence of flight is deeper, hidden within the cells or elsewhere? We would only succeed in making a hollow doll that only gives the appearance of flight. If this is the end result, is it a worthwhile investment of our time and resources?

Grandmother fights off deadly shark by punching it on the nose

bob — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:20:05 +0000

Most hard-core granny in the world? Any 60-year-old who’d kick a shark in the neck gets my vote.

An Australian grandmother survives a shark attack after punching the animal, despite losing more than three pints of blood.

‘Facebook Login’

bob — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:23:53 +0000

This is basically the funniest thing.

So: is the internet too complicated, or are people too stupid?

Fascinating. ReadWriteWeb has a weblog post that ranks highly in Google’s search results for “Facebook login”. The comments on the post are filled with complaints from confused people who think that this is the new Facebook login page.

It’s funny, yes, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at just how confused many people are about how web sites and browsers work. They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex.

Google launching 1Gbps ISP service to select markets at 'competitive prices'

bob — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:33:08 +0000

Google as an ISP? Is there anything they won’t do in the name of serving you more ads?

(where do I sign?)

Google's Superbowl ad will make you cry a little bit

The post goes on to say it might not actually be the ad they use today… but it’s still completely adorable.

Logitech app turns your iPhone into wireless trackpad or keyboard

bob — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:20:05 +0000

A killer app for the iPad, methinks. You could have a control surface that changes to suit the open application.

Google phases out support for IE6

Personally I am shocked they even supported it up to now. I’d be looking to phase out IE 7, personally.

Fox To Adapt Torchwood For The USA

bob — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:40:07 +0000

“There are often fears that subtlety and depth are stripped out when the US remake a UK show. But, then again, this is Torchwood. So that’s not exactly a problem, is it?”

Can it be made any worse? Just maybe.
