Stephen Fry sits down with Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson. He delivered quite an interesting explanation concerning his infatuation with Twitter. “I’ve always been an early adopter,” he explains. Though he does repeat his “I’ve always loved Macs” line. Second half of this mind-expanding clip is after the break.
Adobe has come in for some criticism lately, perhaps that’s why the company this morning quietly introduced a developer pre-release version of its Adobe Flash Player 10.1 software for Windows, Mac and Linux.
The company has released the software so developers can test content to ensure new features function properly and existing content plays back correctly.
Time for a quick short story – looks like all eyes now are in hubbub for new model MacBook Pros, with at least one analyst getting pretty excited at the imminence of their appearance.

From the people who gave us the world’s most expensive gold and diamond-encrusted iPhone (a cool £1.92 million) this morning comes the logical accessory – the world’s most expensive wallet to put it in.
Designed by Stuart Hughes of Liverpool this is the worlds most expensive iPhone wallet.
UK music-streaming service, We7 (partially-owned by Peter Gabriel), has thrown its hat into the ring to duel with Spotify, introducing its own iPhone app which offers access to all-you-can-eat music streaming.
The App was approved by Apple’s disapproval team this week. The app is available now but will not be fully active for subscribers until March 1, when subscribers paying £9.99 a month for the Premium Plus service (which also lets users access what they want online). Only available in the UK right now.
For the money, subscibers get unlimited music streaming on PC and iPhone (with Android and BlackBerry apps in development).
Yet another UK mobile carrier seems set to introduce the iPhone on its network in 2010, with dedicated 3G network, 3, confirming it hopes to offer the device.
The smallest UK network, 3 offers advanced 3G mobile services. Nigel Field, Director of Devices at 3G Operator 3 UK confirmed the networks seeing ever-increasing popularity for touchscreen handsets, particularly the HTC Hero.
“The HTC Hero has set a precedent for functionality in phones. The user experience is comparable only to the iPhone, it looks good and is cheaper to boot”, he said. (And Android-powered device with Spotify support).

A founder member of Squeeze, he’s won a pair of Ivor Novello awards and now Chris Difford’s got a plan to add plus to the notion of iTunes Plus.
He’s releasing his new album, ‘Chris, That And The Other’ on his own brand new digital distribution venture ‘Saturday Morning Music Club’. Rather than selling a CD or digital album of 12 songs through the usual channels, Difford aims to take digital music beyond iTunes.
The plan is that across 12-weeks, a selection media will be delivered direct to fans every Saturday morning: including the week’s lead album track, 2 B-sides, videos, photos and handwritten lyrics and notes – all for only one price.
