Not too shabby, Apple’s iPhone

After much speculation, rumour and hype Steve Jobs announced Apple’s iPhone in his keynote speech at Macworld 2007. How on Earth can such a device live up to all of this expectation?

Menori stats for the last 2 years

The story is also covered by Media Bistro’s Unbiege blog too.

Sir James Dyson, he of those awesome looking ‘nerf’ vacuum cleaners that don’t lose suction, has been knighted in the 2006/2007 New Years honours list. Excellent. Another one of my personal favourite people (along with Sir Tim B-L who was knighted a few years back) and the only one who stood out in a list [...]

Rocky Balboa - everybody wins

In this corner; Mason Dixon reigning, undefeated World Heavyweight Champion with 33 wins, 30 inside the distance.
