So, Apple and YouTube together. Watch YouTube vid on your iPhone, and turn the iPhone round to get a better view of necessary.
Not only that, but the iPhone seems to clear up the images, getting rid of the blocky, pixellated stuff we normally see on YouTube. Amazing, no?
The words "trade descriptions act" come to mind. That phone doesn't do what the advert shows, not if my 10Mg connection and a PC can't do it.

    			... The wee man has learned the phrase "I want..."
Fortunately, he's not applying it in shops yet, but I can feel my wallet wince every time he says it...

    			My MP3 player battery ran out of juice on the way home on Friday, and I forgot to charge it up ready for this morning.
Which means I had no music to over-ride the last song I heard coming out of the house.
Which means that song is playing round and round my head this morning.
Normally it's the music from Thomas the Tank Engine, Boogie Beebies, or Lazytown.
This morning it was an advert for the Spice Girls album.
" Hi Ci Ya Hold Tight"

    			Here's my thinking: I'm unemployed as of 31st Jan. If I get a job offer, I'm sure I can say "please let me not start till 1st March". Which gives me a month off, to play Mass Effect, which, from the 
latest in-game demos, is looking pretty good.
All I need now is a 360.
Any takers?

    			And what a great film it was. Exlosions. Guns. Wise-ass comments. The Man talking to another man on a walkie talkie. Stunts where you're both impressed by the event, but still saying "did they really just do that?" (eg, the "I ran out of bullets", taking out the helicopter with a car stunt, if you've seen it) .  
Pure class. Does just what it says on the tin. And even the good lady liked it. In fact, it was her choice to watch it after seeing the trailers for the DVD.
