A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

An utterly despicable, bigoted theoslimeball

Yes, the Bishop of Carlisle, that would be.

The Right Reverend thinks that God has punished Britain for it’s tolerance of homosexuality.

You know that Fred Phelps character? Well, Bishop Dow is Britain’s very own dogmatic, creepy zealot.

And yet, we entrust children’s education to these brain-foresaken people. We let them sit in the House of Lords for no other reason but their divine election to the silly hat brigade.

What an utterly pathetic, silly little man.

American readers will be pleased to know that Britishness is not a guarantee of not being a complete imbecile, although membership in the clergy is a good predictor of the sort of off-the-cuff, hateful absurdity that we see in Bishop Dow and Fred Phelps alike.

Perhaps he’s planning on setting up a UK version of GodHatesFags once the Anglican Communion tears itself apart for good (which, I have to say, I find nothing short of bloody hilarious).

A revolution… against WAP?

Alex Iskold thinks that the iPhone is utterly revolutionary because it is a fight back against WAP.

Apparently, the last few years have disappeared completely. Nobody uses WAP - no, not at at all - anymore. I’ve got Opera Mini sitting on my phone and Blazer sitting on my Palm. Large chunks of the Web are available to mobile users already.

Neither of these browsers support Flash or JavaScript, but the browser on the PlayStation Portable does support both.

So, yes, the iPhone is important - but it’s important for a different reason. The iPhone is the first phone that I’ve seen that has a really decent UI.

Anybody else got any “Americans not getting mobile” links? There must be a plethora of them because of the iPhone.
