"Star Wars fans rejoice! The Jedi Dressing Gowns are here! What could be better on an evening than strutting around in your Jedi robe, making sure your little Lightsaber doesn't inadvertently pop out due to your lack of jimmy-jams? The Jedi Dressing Gown is made of soft 100% cotton velour and has a Jedi logo embroidered on the front. The bath robe's large hood, sash belt and wide sleeves are classic features of a Jedi robe. Will you be seduced by the dark side (your smelly old bathrobe with cat hair all over the back) or will you fight for justice...or at least the last Jaffa Cake...in a brand new Jedi Dressing Gown?" - Iain Baker from Bookmarklet

My SS has moustache bars so there'd be seriously diminished returns in buying nice levers, but if I had drops on it, I'd consider upgrading the Tektros to these... - Chester from Bookmarklet

Dames! - Phil Glockner

They don't seem nerdy enough to be hot to me... and I object to the blatant gender discrimination! nerdboyfriend.com :) - Lo the Baker

"Cyclists have dismissed Mayor of London Boris Johnson's announcement of two new cycle superhighways through the city as a "marketing gimmick"." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Half-assed Boris strikes again! Seriously, it's typical of bureaucrats to do a half job, that is effectively as good as no job at all. One needs one's wits about them driving in London (as in any major city), let alone cycling in it. - Ian May

Heh, "repeat after me"... - Rick Cogley

"Nielsen Online revealed that 60 per cent of users stop using the free website just a month after joining it." - clarke thomas from Bookmarklet

"Boyle's performance on ITV's Britain's Got Talent has attracted more than 100 million hits on the site in a fortnight as the 47-year-old church volunteer continues to captivate a huge global audience. But the financially beleaguered channel had insisted that no advertisements be shown alongside the clips until it has thrashed out a deal with Google, which owns YouTube. The stalemate has meant that no one - not ITV, nor Simon Cowell, nor YouTube itself - has been able to cash in. Estimates of how much ITV - and the show's producers, Talkback Thames, and Simon Cowell's company, Syco - could have lost to date vary between £500,000 and £1.5m. ITV has been battered by an advertising slump recently and is cutting hundreds of jobs." - Iain Baker from Bookmarklet

Even if no one follows you, you can have conversation with comments on stuff people you follow post. - Tom Landini

To be honest, I think we've had so many years of 128kb MP3s and streaming Pandora and like.fm services that people can't tell the difference between low and hi-fi. It's just *fi and it's sad. Because when I put on a CD and listen on my stereo in the living room, it's GORGEOUS. But most albums have been compressed so much that the dynamic range is almost non-existant. Sad state of affairs. - Daniel Bader

It's weird that in under 100 years we've gone from AM radio mono to FM stereo and CD quality then to mp3 - Alex Murray

Think the music industry is dying, and that it’s time to go independent? Or have you always favored smaller, independent record companies over huge bureaucratic institutions? Don’t worry, even if you don’t have dozens of spin doctors working for you, you can still promote your indie band online. We’ve got 25+ tools to help you do just that. - <<futuRINÔ>> @rinôçérôse

"Nokia's all-inclusive Comes With Music mobile service has been much slower to attract UK consumers than expected, according to an industry consultancy. Music Ally claimed yesterday that Comes With Music has won 23,000 British subscribers since launching last year. Nokia has refused to confirm the figures and said that it has not released data on subscriber numbers. Paul Brindley from Music Ally made the figures public at an Association of Independent Music conference in London. Brindley told 6 Music the statistics were a "big disappointment" to the music industry. "If anything I was rather kind in not saying it was a complete catastrophe. It's a big disappointment because very rarely, if ever, have we seen a digital music service that's been so widely promoted in the mainstream media," he said." - Iain Baker from Bookmarklet

It's such a confusing prospect - download unlimited music for a year.... and then you can keep what you've downloaded after that.... but you can't download any more... and you can't transfer what you've downloaded to any other device. - Martin Bryant

If I was able to get to the auction, i'd have a go at his N64 console, which is listed at about 150 bucks. - Iain Baker
