Two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time, so tonight I’m gonna party like I have a last-generation games console built into my frickin’ television… as Prince is probably singing to himself today while he reads Crave.

Twitter and Android is a coupling so perfect that you can almost imagine the offspring: little greenish-blue robotic birds, happily tweeting away about how much they hate Apple and Nokia.
