This is not one of mine. I wish it was, though. This bloke goes to the doctor and says, “Can you take a look at this little thing on my neck?” So the doctor looks and there’s what looks like a small treeshaped thing. He says to the man, “nothing to worry about, come back […]
Another day, another couple of CNET.com.au articles: Epson EMP-TW20: The TW-20 isn’t a high end projector, and it doesn’t pretend to be. — apparently, if you get it drunk on a Friday night, it sometimes does pretend to be Frank Sinatra… HP Compaq Presario V4114AP: If there’s one thing that the V4114AP was never going

CNET.com.au has published some of my stuff recently: Kyocera KX440: “If you’ve got a compelling business reason to own a push-to-talk phone, then the KX440 was built for you. If you’re after a flashier phone, it definitely isn’t.” Denon DVD-1720: “Denon’s DVD-1720 is a simple to use progressive scan DVD player with DivX support, but
