Google’s Painted Car

BagelTechNews@gmail.com (Ewen Rankin) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:48:10 +0000

Hello Everyone, Santa Here. Ewen said he was struggling this morning because he went out with some clients and got drunk last night. So I tried to fill in but I’m not as clued up as Ewen on most of these stories, but here goes…

Google has Painted a Car. Not sure why but the have and they’ve also given money to Bletchley Park which is nice. They have a Siri replacement called Majel and Santa is of course a HUGE Star Trek Fan so I’m looking forward to that one. THE Captain, Mr Shatner always gets nice presents and that fellow who played Picard…Stewart also gets a nice present (although of course he’s not a proper replacement for Kirk). And there’s some other stuff too. Crap for Christmas is the Apple Founders Contract which is $1.6m but I don’t know who stocks it this close to Christmas

If Santa is offending any of you then…Bugger Off!
