Oh fuck off, Apple. For the price of your latest toy, I could buy a new desktop PC and possibly a laptop - which will probably have the "lovely, shiny new" Windows 8 on it. That, clearly designed for the pea-brained ApplePhone market, looks like one of those old plastic telephones with big buttons that have pictures of animals on them - pick up the "receiver" (oh, sorry - it's "handset" now, isn't it?), press the button, and hear some tinny American voice say "The cow goes 'Mooo'", "the pig goes 'oink'"...

Of course, we're all being prepared for the day when you can do without a computer, mouse and screen altogether, and get AppleTosh "apps" beamed directly into your Swiss-cheese brains. The Almighty Steve will live on forever, in your Apple-copyrighted dreams.

Sod all this. Give me a Raspberry Pi. And I'm no programmer!

It's that or wait for the fucking magnetic poles of the planet to flip, and turn all these pretty shiny devices into so much plastic and silicon scrap...

Just had to get that out.
