Stephen Fry's New Tech Column in the Guardian
Stephen Fry, the charming British author and actor who recently outed himself as a gadget dork on his blog, is penning a new weekly column about technology for the Guardian. This first one is mostly throat-clearing, as Fry underlines his love for things Apple, while reminding that picking one thing to the exclusion of another is churlish and muddling.
What do I think is the point of a digital device? Is it all about function? Or am I a "style over substance" kind of a guy? Well, that last question will get my hackles up every time. As if style and substance are at war! As if a device can function if it has no style. As if a device can be called stylish that does not function superbly. Don't get me started ...Sir: You have started.

In other Stephen Fry related news, the 5th series of his awesome panel show, QI started weeks ago and I didn't even realize, but when I found out I had 7 episodes to watch, I was glad I missed the news. Until the dvd comes out, us poor yanks have to use illegitimate means to watch it, however much I'd love to pay for a television licence.
