• I wonder how many fuses got blown......
  I wonder how many people are pulling out globes......
  "The bridge links Australia to New Zealand"
  
  I thought that flashing in public was illegal, anyway Dick Smith are all out of Nicki Kits....
  A health and safety recall issue, apparently some young players were going blind....

  I highly doubt it was an accident. Not sure how I feel about that actually.
  
  I know Dave support the notion that "more women should be in tech."  So yea.....technically she is "in" tech?
  
  Looks like someone is testing to see if they can up their views.   
  
  Sex sells Dave.

• A suit that lets you know when girls are aroused?
  
  I think that's the first thing Intel's ever invented that actually would make life easier.

• Every time the marketing drone dummy mentioned Intel i7 I face palmed. Now my face hurts 
  I understand he is there to promote the crap out of Intel, but come on.. Like the drone would have instantly crashed if it was powered by AMD or any other Chip manufacturer.
  Everything the drone is doing can probably be done on a raspberry Pi if the programming is done efficiently enough.

  You've built an electronic gizmo for this? Is it Arduino-based/portable? Where can we download the Eagle files???
  
  No, don't tell me, you're "going to do a kickstarter"...

• Started to remind me of the opening credits of the Simpsons, Bart is filling the blackboard with "I must only say Intel Core I7"
  Good to get out of the lab for a OB event, eh?
  Nice video.

  Actually I didn't think I'd shoot anything of value there apart from some casual footage of the lights, so didn't bring a decent mic and gear, so had to make do with what I had.

  But maybe Intel i7 can do it better.
