I don't get it

It's a phone without the phone for the price of a phone. A sort of phoney phone without an RCA that should be a cinch to connect.

So it's a phoney phone without a phono that should easily connect to phono with the rights leads.

(apologies, I was looking after the kiddies over the weekend and their literature has taken a hold of me)

When I ran a pub my interview questions usually had a Bond question in it, either best Bond or best Bond gadget.

Basically if they couldn't answer the finer points of Bond then they couldn't deal with some of my more awkward customers. These days the IT interview question is which is better, Tizer or Dr Pepper. I like to think that this is still Bond relevant as Tizer should be an acronym for a bond gadget and Dr Pepper should be an American female agent, all busty and lusty.

Glad I am not the only one

My IT clutter was at it's very best in 2006. All the old useful bits from my failed business, all the donations from my customers and friends. Sometimes you have to ask yourself if you actually need 13 network cards. In 2007 I moved counties and was able to give the kit of yesteryear to a mate who also was a dumping ground for obsolete kit.

Fast forward to 2012, hows my clutter?

erm... 5 laptops, several routers, seemingly hundreds of USB gadgets and more 40GB drives than I want to think about. And that's just the stuff I know about.

*fail icon, because I assured the wifey that it would all go.

We would like to apologise to samsung, we said you copied us, but were wrong. Your product is legally not cool.

Damn - I thought it was just me they were blocking

because of some anti-ginger agenda, and now I find out that all us red tops needs to do is pay. This is racism impure and simple.

Time to bring production and jobs back

You will never bring Jobs back. He's dead Jim, dead!

Maybe if Apple hadn't dropped Samsung as their screen maker.

Just sayin

It's an apple

But less about me.

It's as ugly as a ginger stepchild, not surprised it didn't sell.

It could be worse, I could be sitting the wrong side of a firewall with a stupid filtering of live streams.

Oh FFS, it seems that I am.

I'm only interested if it's apple crumble.

We've been stealing from the Chinese for years, surely it's OK that they now steal back?
