zx81

That took me back. The ZX81 release was by Silversoft, I think.

big screen

I'm just back from Hong Kong. On a trip on the MTR or underground it is striking just how common big screen Samsung phones are. And also how many Grans are using iPhone 4s. It seems the move to Samsungs is well under way and the grandmothers are benefiting from the hand-me-down iPhones...

Re: Mint forced gnome 3 guys to introduce .... Gnome 2!

Am I the only person in the world who likes Gnome 3? I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 / Gnome 3 and not about to go to Mint.

oh for the days

Oh for the days when you just bought a phone and then broke it after a year. No updating firmware, o/s nor anything else...

I have an original Desire since launch. It is not yet broken.

holding out

I'm holding out for holographic TV. Just project my telly/characters/stuff onto a horizontal surface.

It'll come.

Thumb Up

absolutely steaming

This highlights just how impressive that 1906 record was.

Well done to those who set the new one though!

spec-leccy-tacular

This was a controversial inclusion in the 2 week TT program. Such innovation was excellent to see and respect to those who put in the effort and made it to the island.

I hope that we see this again and look forward to see how the bikes evolve: motors, fuel, away from modified standard bikes, etc..

As one of the teams mentioned, this is the reverse of normal racing where the bulk of the cost is in the motor and much less in the fuel. Here the motor is the chap part and the power source by far the most expensive.

These were perhaps not the most spectacular bit of the TT, but certainly one of the most momentous.

roll on june

All the details on the official site...

This is ground-breaking stuff (the electric bikes, not Mick Grant). I hope it works out.

I wish I could be there for this (and the noisy races too)!

Coat

fingers

I'm keeping my fingers in my ears now, just in case I accidentally hear someone telling me how this is done. If I knew, I'd be doing time too.

maybe.

I'll just leave my coat, thanks.

bashing bikes

What is wrong with bikes, exactly? They're cheap, economical, don't take up much space, always fun.

And can be enormously fast.

OK they're a bit dangerous, but I'm tired of seeing them being dismissed out of hand. They are a good solution when used properly.

Yup, I agree: what is this Wii shortage myth. There's absolutely tons of the things here in Luxembourg.

a bit much

'coming across someone' in the court room is a bit much. what kind of place is that?!
