He's just the other side of the hype coin, it works because there's a bunch of bloggers loving it and a bunch that hate it.

I'll be watching the TWiT commentary and those guys don't give it the respect it deserves, damn it!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

TWiT are a great watch, for whatever the topic, great show!

I've just been sent a press release for a new iPhone 5C case. Looks like the press source released it a bit early!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

If I see one more tweet about fucking fitbit I will go round to the tweeter's house and force them to smoke a hundred fags and eat some deep fried cheese.

So is it looking like yet another almighty anti-climax, with the usual string of already-invented technologies, regurgitated innovation from elsewhere, oh, and some pretty case colours?
