Yeah - I had to take a second look. It's outside the Nottingham Playhouse - Robin Hood land, actually a stone's throw away from Nottingham Castle. Look - there goes Kevin Costner! ;-)

Because many Americans think the only place on this island *is* London an that we all know the queen personally.

"Xerox was the first to start development of the UI, Apple and MS just stole it."

That old chestnut! Wrong wrong wrong. Go read your history and not something you've read on a message board from a hater who also read it from a hater ad infinitum.

"I assume they mean in prep for the new items being added to the store."

No - they always do that during the Keynote speech whilst the new products are being spokent about and then bring it back up after it's been announced.

Either way, I can't see this being just about new iPods or an iPod Nano. The stock's gonna dip drastically if that's all they've got to announce.

"By the way, the Apple store will almost certainly be going down in the next few minutes. Consider us and yourselves, notified."

Next few minutes? I thought the event didn't happen in the US for at east another 8 hours?

Ahhhhh . . . . my bad. Yes, heard of that situation but obviously my brain isn't in gear today. It is Friday and I do have a wee hangover so I've got a wicked excuse to give to the teacher. Parp!

. . . and bad picture mock up. That there laptop on the left is a 15" Macbook Pro - not a Sony of any flavour.

Motorola just don't get it do they? They need to sack their entire design team because this and most of their phones are constantly getting beaten with the fugly stick.

Repeat after me: Good. Design. Sells.

. . . and not crap like this.

Yeah, Thomas - you need to change the title. Wholly unfair to diss a product like that saying it will break after 10 hours use unless you have first hand knowledge that a decent amount of them will.

Way to piss on someone's business.

Slightly misleading and derogatory title. Hardly going to break if it's flexible or well manufactured.

Though with most Bluetooth headsets - you're gonna look stupid with one out and about.
