Well, it ain’t an iPhone…

Looks like a pale version of a Crackberry or even — goddess forbid — a Palm Treo.

Funny how Sony Ericsson is bagging the devic, especially since they’ve just linked their destiny to Microsoft.

So, it’ll really be a battle of the phones. iPhone is apparently going gangbusters wherever it’s sold (and some places it isn’t), the Crackberry is potentially making a rod for its own back, Palm is just about dead, so what else is there?

Well, the OpenMoko Neo1973 still hasn’t been released, but it still looks very good, and sports a nifty touch-screen a’la iPhone, and there really isn’t any real competitor as far as I can see to the iPhone other than the aforementioned Android…

So the game’s afoot really…

Okay, bored now.

I found a link for a Fake Steve Jobs round-up of the Macworld conference, and thought it might be worth a look. Cool, I thought; I quite like the blog — even though some of the readers are obviously sexist pigs (take a look at some of the Photocrank pictures if you doubt my appraisal) — and thought this might be an amusing diversion to what I was doing: translating incomprehensible tech-speak into something that people other than the author could read without a fairly high inhalation of peyote and camel-dung.

First I got a crappy and incomprehensible IBM advert, but hey, you expect that sorta thing on some online news reports; I lived with it.

Then there was a lady news reporter — no, not FSJ — saying how there’d be a report on Macworld. Cool, I thought.

Then there was a second ad.

And that was the point I killed the page. Arse-factor Zero; you lost me within the first 30 seconds. And that’s what happens these days guys. Don’t inundate people with crapervising, we’re Not Interested Anymore! And it wasn’t like I could just click the progress indicator because each of these babies was a self-contained presentation.

Morons.

Froot-loops.

Choice quotes:

“…If we can just save one person’s soul…”

“…I don’t know if you’ve seen Kirk Cameron’s ‘Left Behind’…”

“…Noah’s Ark is real, and the Millenium Falcon is fake…”

“…When they die, and they’re judged, then they’ll go to hell… according to my beliefs they’re going to go to hell…”

So today I looked at the blogs I usually look at.

Fake Steve Jobs hadn’t added anything since yesterday.

Vista Sucks isn’t adding much regularly (maybe once a week; come on! I’m a bloggict, I need my fix once a day at the very least!)

Rory Neopoleon had some new content and some additional links.

This one looked interesting — Laura Foy — except, What The Hell is “Microsoft Silverlight“? Surely they’re not creating a “competitor” to flash? Or even to Youtube. Please don’t tell me they’re doing this because I hate the pain caused by broken ribs, and that’s exactly what will happen when I LMAO and fall onto the floor.

Well, you can see from the link, that I’ve found some information. Talk about missing the bloody boat.

Oh my aching sides.

Open google search and enter the following:

Funny how Google searches work innit?!
