  1. @Bayonnaise It's the whistling that gets me. I keep looking around wondering who's perving nearby.
  2. @ben_kersey Cheers!
  3. …of how we cover a huge launch different to every other tech blog.
  4. Don't mean to blow @electricpig 's trumpet but I think this electricpig.co.uk/2012/05/29/sam… is proof...
  5. Documentally's 40 at 40 challenge, powered by a Vodafone SIM blog.vodafone.co.uk/2012/05/29/doc…
  6. iOS 6: The six killer features Apple should steal from Android electricpig.co.uk/2012/05/29/ios…
  7. Samsung Galaxy S3: All our features and coverage in one place electricpig.co.uk/2012/05/29/sam…
  8. @thatmatsmith @mikejjennings I thought you meant ICS face recognition sorry. Do you mean the eyeball dimming bollocks?
  9. @webusermagazine No that's not true yet - still 60/40 according to those numbers.
  10. @mikejjennings It's more than that though. It doesn't work 1 time out of 10, and that's still too much for it to be worth the bother.
  11. @raiden Makes a change! You're usually on a plane. I live in Bermondsey now but in Ealing couple of times a week usually.
  12. @raiden Not too bad thanks! How many countries have you been in this week?
  13. BBC iPlayer’s 2012 numbers: Are we finally seeing the death of desktop viewing? electricpig.co.uk/2012/05/29/bbc…
  14. @raiden Top work Dan!
  15. @davidnield Well quite. Sony's version supports Bravia and the PS3, but fewer mobile platforms.
  16. @IanMorris78 @brokenbottleboy Both have appalling average broadband speeds.
  17. Samsung Music Hub: Can the Galaxy S3 kill Spotify and iTunes Match with one stone? electricpig.co.uk/2012/05/29/sam…
  18. @olivia_solon You got higher than me. In the dark. Good work!
  19. @olivia_solon You did that at night?! That's a good effort. Took me all day and I couldn't get up the damn hill at the end.
  20. @bazzacollins I can see there being a bunch who'd rather we had some decent 3G everywhere first.
