UK citizenship: now with automatic free cloud-based backup of emails, Facebook messages, bookmarks, browsing history, … #telldaveeverything
Accidentally deleted an important email. Can I restore from your copy, please, Mr Cameron? #telldaveeverything (http://t.co/kFHi4pPy)

Anyone else noticed the "new iPad" has a 70% bigger battery than the iPad 2? (42.5 W vs 25 W) Guess that Retina display sucks juice. #tuaw
Smartest thing about the Smart Cover? Android tablet OEMs only see and sell specs; Apple sell a full experience that goes beyond the device.
Palin wants Assange executed for Wikileaks. This is different from Islamic fatwas against Salmon Rushdie or Danish cartoonists how, exactly?
It's kinda funny how every tweet by @julianperretta that features any sort of capital letter or useful punctuation is actually plagarised.
My iPhone just autocorrected "Steve Ballmer" into "Steve Baloney".
"Apple is arguably the biggest… enemy of general purpose computing" http://t.co/fv5D7P57 Great post by @codinghorror. #tuaw
Doctor Who. The other guy who rises from the dead and is associated with TV specials at Christmas and Easter.
Amazon App Store for Android requires device rooting for some apps, is US only, and doesn't work on AT&T. I'd imagine Apple are terrified.
