El Reg obtains snap of OGC logo reveal

Ban using mobiles while crossing street, says US legislator

Shoot them

They're most irritating while texting and walking at a very slow pace on a narrow footpath, while you're in a hurry for an appointment/meeting and stuck behind them. And so focussed on the phone that your "Excuse me" falls on deaf ears. A gentle nudge with bag/umbrella usually works fine, but personally, I'd prefer a vapourising device.

Or at least a gun to blow the phone to bits.

Legislating against this is pointless. Hopefully, evolution will set this right. Am not sure though, because most governments seem to legislating towards a "survival of the stupidest" policy.

Al Gore's green job bonanza - can we afford it?

Tired of this crap - going out to drive around in my 4x4 and de-stress.

Mine's the one with the Hummer keys and the Marlboros in the pockets...
