Clearing out my tabs: video edition

A nice example of what (some) politicians mean when they talk about striving for peaceful solutions:

Hmm, looks like MS need to do a little bit more work on that one. Know anyone that's played witha Lumia yet? I'm still not sure which way to jump next upgrade.

I'll have you know that you are personally responsible for about eight or ten of my tabs -- one link set per day, each spawning 2-10 more tabs -- that I hadn't had time to sift through and queue for resharing. :)

And to be fair, I probably share just as many links, but I parcel them out up-to-5 at a time, rather than one link post per day. :)

Loved the Siri bit. It's actually pretty useful, even without the direct functionality to maps, traffic Nd businesses outside of the US... 'search the web for...' fills most of the gap.

Being able to send text messages hands free has been especially useful.
