@r0bb1eh Don’t forget to look down the back of the sofa, too.

Er… So, what kind of Audiobooks *aren’t* “Spoken Word”, Apple? twitpic.com/6a4evv

Right. I’m off to bed. Don’t forget to check your sheds for stray North African tyrants, people. He could be anywhere.

@asic69 @Phooto @KaveyF Well, I noticed they had the scales in my local Apple Store last week. Maybe they’ve started doing the BP mon, too.

@Phooto @asic69 @KaveyF I’m not sure I want to know exactly how unhealthy I am in many different ways! Will need iAntiDepressant after that.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto @asic69 @KaveyF Odd, given that the scale came first, and is standalone. I guess relying on the phone makes it cheaper.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@asic69 @KaveyF Well, Withings do make a Wi-Fi blood-pressure monitor if you fancy splashing out. You can even tweet your BP :)

@asic69 @KaveyF But surely that’s contraindicated for a geek, whose heart-rate might increase at the sight of technology?

*That’s* what it reminds me of. A frame of a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…

@Lithosfear @martingoode Ah, I don’t have a tablet at all, which is why I want to play with one on the cheap.

via Echofon in reply to Lithosfear

@martingoode @Lithosfear Nope. Not available for home delivery, and not available at any Bristol store. Ah well, was just a passing fancy!

@PTdavelewis @lizwebster Archangel! Just the image that popped into my head, too.

@BinaryDad And that’s without the demographic that’ve wandered out to the kitchen while voting and are now wondering why they’re there.

@hayles Luckily he mostly turns up for me on Radio 4, so I don’t have to deal with the face. Or the pullovers.

Christ. Gyles Brandreth is basically Jedward for the middle classes, isn’t he?

@morgan_murphy I don’t know, but we definitely need to get a charity set up.

morgan_murphy What’s the name of the mental illness that causes you to watch commercials during something you TiVo’d?

@Lithosfear There is, now. Check recent tweets re Dixons, Currys, etc.

@chris_j_hughes I like Apple kit, but don’t have enough need for a tablet to justify the cash. $99 tablet would be interesting plaything!

@stuartcw I’d’ve thought that would’ve been a pain. Being stopped at every corner by pairs of identical twins asking awkward questions…

@scalzi Well, at least he wasn’t asking for a priest.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to scalzi

@chris_j_hughes Yup. Which is why I’m surprised Amazon aren’t giving them away with Corn Flakes, rather than charging £300+ for ‘em…

@ricgalbraith Even with the same director, has there ever been a remake that was better than an original great film?

via Echofon in reply to ricgalbraith

Hmm. Amazon UK appears to have reduced the TouchPad to a mere £312.07. Not exactly the $99 bargain the US are getting…

@bexxi It’s true! They used to wear sheets and jump out from behind the caviar.

hcoverlambda My coworker was showing off his facial recognition login for win. Went to my desk and printed a pic that had him in it and used it to login.

@asic69 I warned you not to go on Oblivion. <seriousface>You all right?</seriousface>

@slicknic Is it, perchance, sharpened only using a Stanley knife?
