My Blackberry Is Not Working! - The One Ronnie, Preview - BBC One

You have probably all seen this already, bust worth reposting. Not quite as good as The Two Ronnies. About half as good to be precise.

What does the iPhone, Xbox, PlayStation, the Wii and the Kindle have in common?

Yes, they’re all tech products. They also hugely popular. And they’re the offspring of companies that compete fiercely. But no, that’s not the answer I was looking for.

The answer is that they are all manufactured by the SAME COMPANY. Yes, I couldn’t believe it either. They’re called Foxconn, the largest manufacturer of electronics and computer components worldwide. Based in Taiwan and going since 1974.

They produce the Mac mini, the iPod and the iPhone, the Macbook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, Intel motherboards, computers for Dell and Hewlett-Packard, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 for Sony, the Wii for Nintendo, the Xbox 360 for Microsoft, cell phones for Motorola, the Amazon Kindle, and various Cisco products. Oh and they also produce devices for Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Palm.

Man, that’s impressive. One wonders how they manage to keep the trade secrets of the various producers, well er, secret. The mind boggles.

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
