One of each, I say!

I don't know why, but after seeing the "fox" example, I could just picture the font on the front of a book... odd.

No one can escape!!! I'm fortunate to only be on my third console :P

Prefer Twittelator. Don't see the need to pass everything through a third-party server before getting to Twitter.

The new address bar has become my new best friend, it's usefulness makes me wonder why the hell it wasn't ever done before. I'm sure it will be copied across into the other browsers as soon as it gets to the point where they can all do so without the Fx users moaning about it :P

The current release is my default browser, I've toyed with using browsers other than Safari on and off for years, yet none have lasted this long as default.

Re: Geoff Garside - Xbox 360 and Connect360

Connect360 is definitely classified under the 'awesome' category. There's a new contender out there called 'Rivet', not had change to play with it yet though.

I can pick up a decent (Second hand, natch) Elise round here for close to £8k. I can't see myself getting an R8 for that any time soon... I'd certainly have a hard time choosing between the two though. I've always said I'll have either british or japanese cars, which would rule out the R8, though just looking at it is drool-inducing :)

It really is something special. Given the choice though, I think I would still go for a Lotus Elise (Or Exige should someone wish to throw money at me :D)

Re: Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 and T-Mobile 3G…

The one thing SE have struggled with thus far - in my eyes at least - is a decent professional model. Their mp3 player's with phones tacked on, and stupidly high resolution camera phones are great for most people, and the teen-y audience they're likely targeted at, however they don't yet seem to have nailed what the average office drone requires on the move.

I'm hoping this new X1, amongst their other new offerings will be the start of some changes for them. My last three phones have all been SE, and I'm getting a little tired of the same old tripe being churned out with prettier graphics for each revision.

I'd buy one, if it was free.

You could always give Shuffle-DB a go: http://shuffle-db.sourcefor...

I used it with my original shuffle whenever I was on a Windows/Linux box, and even some occasions on OS X. It's said to work with the newer shuffles too.

Sounds like a sweet deal. Hopefully it will expand to Europe too.

You'll enjoy the shuffle, I rarely leave the house without mine now, it's just so small and convenient, great when running or cycling, just clip it on and go.

Orange is an awesome colour too ;)

Had mine a while now, allowed me to use all 8 IP's I had from my ISP in the UK, bought it to NZ with me too and using it right now.

Fantastic little modem/router :)
