Semenya left stranded by storm 09:43am on 20 Aug 2009 "Perhaps we should test Bolt as well to check if he is actually a man and not in fact a god!"

I thought all winners were tested? Any suspicious substances that promote god-like abilities are banned. Why else are they made to pee in a cup.
Listening to Mr iPhone 6:41pm on 01 Jul 2009 "I hadn't" heard of Jonathan Ive.

You are labelled as BBC's technology correspondent? You might as well say you hadn't heard of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. Have you heard of Steve Ballmer? Microsoft?

My apologies if by 'Technology' you mean 'I've seen a computer. It was beige'.
Inauguration - were you new or old media? 4:07pm on 21 Jan 2009 Gurubear wrote:

"Media of all type has now got completely out of control"

Good! Who wants it any other way.

The CNN 3D mosaic photosynth test worked out magnificently. As new photos are added it just gets better.
Virgin: some 50 Meg questions 7:08pm on 15 Dec 2008 "...and you will get 50Mbps - although if you are running a wireless network, you are bound to lose some speed."

I've never heard anything like this. Why would my home network setup affect my broadband speed? Would you clarify this please.

If you mean that if you use an a/b/g network you will not be able to use the full 50Mbs, and only 802.11n or wired 100/1000Mbs networks will be able to use it all then that is different from 'losing some speed'.
How to build on the Great Haul of China 11:27am on 25 Aug 2008 "It's not all about winning medals for crying out loud! It's about competing in the right spirit"

How about, for the sheer novelty value, we compete for once as if it were. There is no shortage of mediocrity should we decide that that is what we want to revert to. It certainly is cheaper.
World view of Beijing 09:56am on 25 Aug 2008 "The story which really tickled the French was that of brothers Steve and Christophe Guenot, who took gold and silver in the wrestling."

It is Steeve (crazy french guy) and it was gold and bronze.
Could canoeing emulate British 'sitting down' success? 4:20pm on 23 Aug 2008 Fareberry; It's on at 8pm China 12 GMT - so 3pm on Sunday.
Around the Olympics in 800 minutes 6:15pm on 14 Aug 2008 When you get home are you going to meet us all down the pub and show us all the photographs you took and show us the wacky t-shirt you bought, then bore us with stories of what you did on your 'hols'...wait, you are already.
My vision for 2012's opening ceremony 3:41pm on 11 Aug 2008 Eliminate the fireworks and spend the money on a six-pack under each spectators chair.
It'll transform Friendly Games into You're My Best Mate Games.
