Bigger than it seems

» In the most exciting technology news since the introduction of the T-Rex sensing alarm, Apple announced it will allow certain people to purchase an iPad on April 3 and thereafter for between $499 and $829, or roughly 17,000 to 28,000 baht in real money; unfortunately, you are not nearly privileged enough, by about 10,000 miles, or 16,000 kilometres in real distance; you meet the high standards of Apple's class consciousness if you live in North America (not counting Mexico), Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, or the British Isles. Sony and Sony Ericsson pretended they did not leak or authorise news that they will release a new portable tablet device and a smart phone able to play PlayStation games, not that they are at all worried about the near monopoly of the markets by Apple; Sony has officially announced it is opening a download service that will so totally crush iTunes; it is called Qriocity, pronounced "curiosity" isn't that precious?

Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 14/03/2010

It seems this little mouse had made a home in my car for more than a few days, which would explain the scuffling and shuffling heard on and off by yours truly this past week. Thank goodness it was a mouse and not the onset of schizophrenia.

» This just in: Thailand will have 3G phone service in 2010; we know this is true because Prasit Prapinmongkolkarn of the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) said so, as he marked the induction of four new commissioners into the membership of the Magnificent Seven; Mr Prasit said that the NTC's only reason for existence is serving the public by allocating radio frequencies, because an unused frequency is a wasted frequency; pressed by the always doubting media as to whether the NTC will really make 3G available everywhere by New Year's Eve, Mr Prasit declared forthrightly that he will "make an effort". His Majesty the King officially approved the appointment of four new members of the Magnificent Seven - Suranand Wongwittyakamjorn, Banthoon Suphakvanich, Phana Thongmeearchom and Col Natee Sukolrat, who has recently survived a graft investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

» As the euro dropped and bureaucrats across Brussels wondered whether they would have to give up the milk-fed mussels for one night a month, along came their regulators with a great idea: let's sue Google; the fact that the US company is richer than Belgium has nothing to do with it, perish the thought, but Google is, let's face it, a monopoly and price fixer and, well, the public needs a lot of protection from Google; Translation; Nice little search engine you've got here, be a shame if you had to go through years and years of court cases just to end up paying us pretty much the same amount of, you know, "fines" you could pay now.
