I got on my bike

And cycled to the train station, then had a 50mins commute and then did some walking

Sheesh, no wonder so many people can't be bothered - but on the plus side, I am no longer a fatty.

When i use netflix it asks if I want to share the data on farcebook - if I click don't share it doesn't, right?

And besides, my friends and some of my stalkers know the stuff I like, is it really a surprise that my list contains spider man, iron man, misfits and naked nuns with guns?

14 Quid...what for?

A new OS or a patch for your OS with some features added, you know - like a service pack.

Strange that the spectators didn't notice this setback though. If it was oversubscribed you would think that the end users would notice the issues.

Or maybe they did, but couldn't tweet O2 about it.

I flicked through the PDF but got a little bored.

however, I think from now on Samsung should only send iApple screens that are trapezoid in shape. This will solve the issue once and for all.

The only true test is to give an iPad and a Samsung slate to the following

a blind person

a child

your grandmother

They should be able to tell between them if they are the same / have the identical functions.

It's not as bad as reported (sort of)

With Osborne's unique way of tackling the budgetary requirements of the UK soon the majority won't be able to afford to drive or heat water - problem solved!

Re: Want it rooted?

When you buy a Nexus device you buy the reassurance that not only are you likely to be among the first to get future Android version upgrades directly from Google, but you can unlock the bootloader and hack around to your hearts content. The Nexus 7 is no different! It’s easily unlocked via fastboot, easily rooted via our Superboot and easily flashed back to it’s shipping state if everything goes wrong via factory images made available by Google.

For many people this is a considerable plus point when considering the Nexus 7 purchase!

'sky white’

Quite interesting, and I am sure purely by accident - but almost accurate.

Sky is not an English word, but a Viking word - it basically means grey clouds, it became synonymous with the sky as we know it for obvious reasons. And eventually the word sky became sky and a whole new raft of beautiful words for clouds were invented. (although today no actual clouds can be seen above Portman Road)
