OK People, It Might Be Time to Lay Off the BlackBerry Storm Hate
Sure, lots of important people weren't too impressed with the Storm. But this slippy, Freudian Google News headline sums up the unbridled hate towards the handset much better than it does the article. Much. More » -

The Unflappable Stephen Fry Becomes Quite Flapped Over Vista
Stephen Fry is many things to us: a brilliant comedian, a font of great wisdom and knowledge, and most importantly, a prolific gadget writer. But last night, he lost it over Vista—luckily for us, on his Twitter. More » -

Stephen Fry Slams the BlackBerry Storm
We have a soft spot for genius comedian-actor-writer-gadget-juggler Stephen Fry here at the Giz. He speaks things as he sees them, as an end user, with his usual wit. Lately he has been playing with a BlackBerry Storm and, like our review, he thinks that it's no you-know-who killer. In fact, he completely smashes it in his condensed Twitter review: More » -

Gen-X Author Douglas Coupland Claims that Technology Makes Idiots of Us All
Douglas Coupland has been drafted in to fill Stephen Fry's shoes on his tech column Dork Talk, while the British polymath recovers from a broken arm. The Canadian author and artist has tackled the subject of gadgets and obsolescence, taking as his starting-point the fact that the box of techno-baubles he received from The Guardian in London were all unworkable in North America. And this got him thinking, about how time is now measured in "tech-waves." If that's the case, then what era are we currently in? More » -

Issue one is out on his site now, detailing his recent arm-breaking disaster. We hope it heals soon Stephen, so that in future podgrams we can hear more of your thoughts on cool new gadgets!

Stephen Fry Reviews Oral B Professional Care Triumph, Loves It
Some of us may dabble in being funny to go along with our tech knowledge, but professional comedian Stephen Fry actually knows a thing about both fields. Today he reviews the Oral-B Professional Care Triumph, which has a special tech that allows it to wirelessly show how long you've been brushing each corner of your mouth and rate it according to what dentists recommend. He loves it. He also loves the idea of turning something mundane into something exciting via technology, and wants it to go further. More » -

Comedian Stephen Fry Gets Guardian Column on Gadgets
Hoping to put us out of a job, The Guardian gave British comedian Stephen Fry his own column about gadgets. You'll remember that we wrote about Fry's huge rant on smartphones (the same rant that got him this job), taking to task just about every manufacturer (including Apple) for sub-par work. In his new column, which we're sure will be better than any gadget blog on the net (including this one) he'll focus on not just smartphones, but general gadgetry, which includes computers, music players, game consoles, and so forth. Good thing for us his columns only appear once a week. [Guardian via Wired] -

Comedian Stephen Fry Blogs Spectacularly About Smartphones
British comedian Stephen Fry is awesome in a way similar to Ricky Gervais or Hugh Laurie (his previous showbiz partner), but writing 10,000 words about smartphones just put him over the top into living idol territory. You can't tell from his public persona, but he's apparently a huge nerd, knowing intricate details such as how Xerox PARC helped develop the basis for much of our current computer UIs, how the Palm Foleo was horrific, how comparing Windows Mobile to the iPhone is faulty at best, and how you're supposed to use the Missing Sync to sync your phones on the Mac (holy crap).
