Seth Clifford, CIO of Nickelfish and his thoughts on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Physically, the 10.1 is a great feeling device in the hand. Thinner and lighter than you expect it to be, with a gorgeous screen and all the requisite hardware checkboxes filled. I’m not sure how I feel about the 16:9 frame, though. No, scratch that, I’m pretty sure I don’t like it.

As I found when I installed the latest edition of Mac OSx onto my macbook the just downloaded install media self destructs after it has finished reading it’s message.

Prime: Eighteen letters, I’ve never seen so many… he is the One.

Roy: [incredulously] What are you…

Prime: Shh! This is the longest word yet on Street Countdown! Unlike normal Countdown, you see…

Roy: I don’t care.

Prime: Negative One?

Negative One: Twelve.

Moss: Sixteen.

Prime: Your word, Negative One.

Negative One: Enormousness.

Moss: I shall give my answer, if I may, in the form of a joke.

Prime: This is most irregular…

Moss: What do you call Negative One sitting alone in an empty room?

Prime: I don’t know, what do you call Negative One sitting alone in an empty room?

Moss: Overnumerousness!

Prime: Gyles?\

Gyles: Yes, that is a word! And the joke makes sense!
