  1. @davmendels Sounds right to me.
  2. "Depending on your machine, you'll either press the blue 'ThinkVantage' key, or F12." THIS IS A REAL THING. notebookcheck.net/uploads/pics/z…
  3. I think @gruber is wrong. The extra vertical pixels are clearly for iAds, on the world-beating $79 "iPhone 5 With Special Offers" model.
  4. @JivaDeVoe Eventually ending up sober and crippled - hurrah!
  5. @JivaDeVoe Then we need to factor in the muscle damage caused by increasingly drunken cycling.
  6. *Wonders how fast he'd have to pedal the exercise bike, and how slowly to drink beer, for a net calorie intake of zero.*
  7. @macguitar So sorry to hear that, Michael.
  8. @benthewolf Effortlessly.
  9. @liz_e Blimey. That's lovely.
  10. @andybee OK. :) Starting tweet with "That's an old idea" got my back up.
  11. @andybee I mean, don't be "it's been done before" guy. Why does that matter?
  12. @andybee Don't be that guy.
  13. @theloop Absolutely. Also, related: sometimes comparisons are meaningless. "iPhone or iPad?" is a budget priority issue, not a choice.
  14. The idea is that the whole world goes blind. You navigate using directional audio, via iPhone/iPad gyro. Very interesting.
  15. Audio-only horror-adventure game: your eyes are no use here! Suitable for blind or sighted. iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or 3. itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blindsi…
  16. @macdevnet No. Omitting question-marks from questions does, however.
  17. @ElaineGiles How do you feel about the FW CS6 upgrade? I find FW' UI to be a hodge-podge of Adobe and Macromedia stuff. :/
  18. @brooksreview Fwiw :p and I'm Scottish: yfrog.com/escqlhp
