So, why are tablets so small?

Watching Family Guy in bed with Julie this morning I realised that a 10"
tablet is too small for comfortable bed-watching of TV. My laptop screen
is 15", and that's pretty much perfect. But nobody makes tablets that
large. Any idea why not?

In other news, the Google Doodle on http://www.google.pl/ is awesome.
Robots FTW.

Things that have amused me lately

Click here and scroll down to hear samples from such classics as "Angry Birds: Main Theme" and "Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare: Main Menu Theme".

The trailer for the Dr Who Christmas Special: The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe:

Aardman have made a movie of Pirates! In and adventure with Scientists!:

If you like very, very funny things then you could do a lot worse than buying the book, which made me laugh a lot.

And finally, the complete five parts of Dr Whoa. Hit "End" when it opens, and read it up the way. Made me a giggle a lot at the time, and I wish he'd do more.
