I am shocked and outraged, nay incandescent (lightbulb) with fury.  Though my respect for the cartoon Inspector Gadget knows no limits - indeed I am listening to the theme right now as I type this - I have just learned (secondhand) that @misfitsmedia may have said that the iPad was inspired by Penny's book from the series.  Scandalous!  The iPad was clearly inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation - you often see Geordi LaForge and his cohorts in Engineering carrying about a touch-screen tablet device, a far closer approximation than Penny's multi-operational tome.  Sure, Inspector Gadget has the heads-up chronology, the final episode screened over a year before Star Trek: TNG's first, but the two devices look nothing alike.  I'm sure Levar Burton would have something to say on this were he to know.
And don't get me started on Ed Miliband's recent admission that Rosamund Pike would make a great Bond.  Is this an April Fool's Joke?  Talented and sexy as she is, Pike could never be Bond,  Has no-one heard of Modesty Blaise?  Idris Elba is too old (Chiwetel Ejiofor on the other hand, however...), Pike has too much vagina.
If we're going to be geeky, let's just get it right.  Please.
