I love this speech. We're really going to miss you Steve.

Lovely.

I think this is quite a horrible post at it's core. Is this the same editor who wrote that people complaining about phones on the metro were whining? I sense a theme.

Nasty. Vicious. Insensitive. Horrible. Vile.

"The Milk Truck is designed to make people aware of a mother's right to breastfeed" and neatly hide them away - why exactly should a breastfeeding woman have to sit in a latrine or in the back of a truck anyway?!

Ummmm, I don't know if anyone is keeping the military goons up to speed, but here's an update for you all.

I really like the touch screen printer concept. Pretty neat.

Great stuff. So your smart phone, equipped with all your personal information, including your address, will now allow access to your home and all your worldly possessions. Great stuff. Except of course if it gets stolen.

I don't think they were ugly as such, it's just that modern phones are better designed, but then that's progress. In 20 years time I'm sure we'll look back at iPhones and think "how quaint, there was no 3D projection facility" (or something else).

Oh how I love our, < ahem > 'special relationship' with the Yanks. < grins >

Ooooh, thats good. < smiles > I really like your user name too. Very witty.

The Tron Lightbike: How totally über cool. I so want one of these, well kinda.

Hmmm. Here's a puzzle. Make these words into a useful phase that fully encompasses this news story:

There's a local council here in the UK, (sorry I can't remember which one) that has a regular 'no email' day to encourage their employees to communicate face to face every now and then.
