I also fscking hate Apple fanbois. No, Jobs wasn't the Second Coming, he wasn't even his dad's first coming and the best thing jobs did was GO! Steve Jobs ruined the internet with his "Smart" phones and "Pads" for dumb people. (Cue avalanche of downvotes)

If you soak the lower portion of dried inkjet cartridges in hot water for about 20 seconds, they work again... keep dabbing on tissue paper and drying off, soaking, till you see all holes are unblocked - that trick'll do till my HP AIO dies.

While shopping for very small laptops in 2001, I saw Sir Clive Sinclair on the other side of Tottenham Court Road - smartly pinstriped and carrying a whole load of small, posh, brightly coloured laminated paper shopping bags. After giving the road a cursory check, he started swiftly crossing the road in my direction. I shouted "Sir Clive!" and waved. He peered at me with narrowed eyes, crossed the road on a trajectory leading away from me, then he was gone... You should never attempt to meet your heroes.
