So, in techno news, Apple today launched a few new devices during the autumn address that we’ve all become accustomed to.  I haven’t really taken the time to read up on the launch event, but scanning the photos in the BBC website news report, one thing really struck me:

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are huge.  Now, I know I’ve always taken the piss out of the size of Samsung’s handsets, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Note, but these new iPhones are ridiculous.

Just look at them!  

Today’s event also heralded the launch of the much-anticipated Apple Watch.  I do admit to having very small wrists, but come on, this is just silly.

Steve Jobbies will be rolling in his grave.

Apple’s divergence from Jobs’ insistence that the iPhone should be navigable with one hand sounds the death knell of my love affair with this particular shiny thing that made it all better. I struggle enough with the 5s, there’s no way I want to be one of those spazzes who has to hold their phone in one hand while prodding the screen with the stabby index finger of the other, assisted in their obvious concentration by having their tongues sticking out.  With their specs propped on their foreheads. No.  Just no.

But what’s the alternative? What happened to the days when the tech companies worked on compact designs that fitted on the pocket?  Samsung happened, they fucking ruined everything.  Morons.

Super moon

It’s the harvest full moon tonight.  I do love this; only a crazy person wouldn’t.
