There's an interview with Steve Wozniak on the BBC:
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/7741472.stm>

Several times during the interview, Kelly talks right over the top of
Woz, far more in love with his own 'clever questions' than in listening
to what Steve has to say. I think Mr Kelly stands in front of a mirror
to practice cocking his head to one side in a manner he thinks displays
insightful perception.

I have a very low expectation of /anyone/ called Spencer [apart that is
from the associate of Mr Marks]

I noticed that. Woz was just getting into some interesting areas, and Kelly
went and talked all over him.

Does anyone believe they just happened to bump into him at the iMax? (Near
waterloo, I presume)?

Well, the local CH sock puppet is simply a sad, attention-seeking wee wank,
whereas the BBC presenter...oh, I see what you mean.

Evidently not.

That's bloody awful, that is. Even taking into account that Woz is (IMO)
quite difficult to interview, that was really bad.

I think you're right though - I think Mr Kelly thinks he is a hell of a
lot cleverer than he actually is.

Well the little shit Holland actually *telephoned* Daniele. So if he's
emailing people now, he might even have become slightly less obnoxious.

Take note, bitches. I was responding to an email, in a very polite manner, I
hasten to add.

The BBC's Spencer Kelly gets to play with shineys. His job is to go to places
like the Apple keynotes, all funded by the licence fee payer. (I don't have a
TV licence myself - they will NEVER catch me). Nice work, if you can get it.

If you have a problem, complain to the BBC and/or his show specially. They
are receptive to all feedback, including constructive criticism.

Ah, that'll be the old 'hitting r instead of f' problem.

Or perhaps, since the original was 14 years ago, he's moved on a little with
his life unlike Arthur...
