@anAbsoluteLegend: Richard Ayoade is always brilliant. I think that's why "The Final Countdown" was so side-splitting, being a very Moss-heavy episode.

Corporations or other businesses that rely on marketing for their sales, I understand why they downloaded the data. What I really want to know is why the United States Postal Service and the UN wanted my particulars. (Sorry guys, I'm not on Facebook.)

@zjgz: Last episode of season 4 aired today. I'm a huge fan and am praying for series 5, but honestly, there were like 3 spectacular episodes this season and 3 'meh' episodes. I'm guessing it's because Linehan did the bulk of the writing this year instead of it being between he and O'Dowd like previously.

@Alexander Ward: You and the Samsung Behold users are pretty much screwed in that regard.

Ever since the the second episode of this new season I've been left with the sinking question, "Why am I still watching this show?" Last night made me say, "Oh yeah, that's why."

Budapest looks suspiciously like north-eastern Iowa.

@Justin: Thanks for this info.

@emrichar: PDF is key for me because I want to use it for my massive sheet music library. I've got most of it scanned and converted, just can't swallow dropping $500+ to buy a tablet device for carrying the files around. This seems perfect.

Can the Kindle read PDF and TXT files?

@Brownski: That's what I thought at first, then I read the line, Apparently the Peel doesn't physically connect to the device, but neglected to read the last two words in that thought: it's slipped around.

I guess that's one way Apple can get around their contract with AT&T. All they'd have to do is make certain the appropriate voice call apps to run these shenanigans get approved.

The absurd part about this contest is that many of these photoshop results look better better done than any of BP's attempts. Seriously were they assigning interns to this task?

@Nathan Uschmann: To be fair, a lot of point-and-shoot digital cameras are using the same crap-grade CMOS as the higher end smartphones.

@tande04: And the interns might not stay with Microsoft. They could go to work at some other tech company, so it's effectively sending advertisements for the new platform back to into the business world.

The E10 looks like a phone. Which makes me wonder... why won't anybody build a smartphone with a decent camera lens??? Gah!

@cc: I really want to hold the Galaxy S Pro (Epic 4G) physically to get an idea of its bulk. 4" screen and a hardware keyboard...I'm guessing it's going to take me back to the days when I used to shove an entire TI-83 in my pocket.

There's an Arrested Development joke somewhere inside that line about the bucket of blue body paint, but I can't find it.

@cc: I'm not saying I want a 4+" screen. Actually the Nexus One at 3.7" feels ideal and is still very compact. But anything much smaller, and it becomes incredibly difficult to type without a hardware keyboard. I write long emails and refuse to adhere to inane shorthand.
