If last night's meal of private deer parts and caterpillar fungus had not gone down so well, we might have struggled to digest Intel's latest slogan – "Carry small, Live large."

I suppose it must be difficult being based in Shanghai, with your primary window on the world limited to a sanitised version of the truth.
The only other concern I have is this increasing emphasis on making things smaller... I already need one of the largest mobile devices - a Blackberry - in order to send texts because I cannot accurately differentiate between the tiny little buttons on a normal mobile phone. I am the {future dominated by people "typing enormously quickly with their thumbs"} that Kevin Kahn takes exception to.

"Intel Inside --Idiot Outside"
Connectivity may be the goal but it's highly unlikely to improve matters. I can see Powerpoint presentations arguing as to which one should go first as people turn up for a meeting.
It'll also be great for cabin crew to see all the Viagra spam photo's as they are displayed on the backs of seats.

...I want to go to Shanghai expenses paid...even if I have to spend a few hours ligging about listening to people talk cobblers.
I'm running out of good tea.

Long long time ago, when there was DOS there was a wonderful error code that we used to have loads of laughs over.. it was a I/O Error.. well "technically" its Input/Output Error but we all agreed that it was REALLY IdiotOperator Error...
Yeah.. bring back the I/O error codes...

what about the kit that would let you walk into a room, as before, and notify that new girl of your interest in her - but only if it was appropriate to do so !
Zero-knowledge, anyone ?
