I mean, seriously. Put a channel up of your dubious military strikes by all means, but by disabling comments on every video you’re pretty much admitting that you’ve got no real faith in your moral basis for the actions.

Initial Android thoughts
Looks: cool to boys Battery life: not amazing Touch screen stuff: very nice General UI + basics: excellent Keyboard: nice too Camera: average to awful. Particularly shit in low light. No zoom. No video (yet). Web-browsing: ok, but no more than that YouTube app: super (wifi only) Maps: awesome Music: not bad, you have to put everything on the SD card manually from your computer which is fiddly,...

Mikko going mental on being given a catnip cushion. There was a bloodlust in his eyes which normally only mice and birds see. And birds probably don’t see it much, because they’re busy flying away. Anyway, after I’d got worried and taken it away, he lay on the floor blissed-out for an hour, his nose up against the residue patch on the floor. Also, he was properly fascinated...

Seriously, this is really good. No reason not to use it vs iTunes*. The downloader is really simple, it plops tracks into your iTunes library without you having to import them, and they’re higher quality than iTunes’ DRMd files (256k vs 128k. iTunes Plus is generally 256k as well). *irrelevant if you source your music from the naughty internet.

“Argos, the UK high street retailer, has acquired the intellectual property...”
