Infamous shrieking vlogger Tricia Walsh-Smith is incoherently farting on again, this time focusing her ire at YouTube, Google, spammers, airport security, and is probably outside right now, angrily shaking her fists at the sky.

"Being a YouTube partner is awful, because they go and screw up your video by putting crappy, crappy ads all over your videos. I'm going bonkers video, I didn't allow it"

Nigel Morris-Cotteril, a resident of Malaysia, has published an open letter of complaint to Adobe about what he considers to be their draconian licensing schemes.

"Dear Adobe, I have paid for software which your system is designed to prevent me activating. What you think is for your protection is actually for my frustration. Now the "trial period" has expired, I cannot use the software I have paid for. And it's all because your systems don't work."

Toshiba's Camelio S10 pocket HD "flip rival" mini-corder has been unveiled and announced for release in the UK and Asia. Reports on the almost-swallowable device from T3, iGizmo and Wired.

Talking of the Flip range, the Mino HD is on it's way to the UK from 7th April.

Continuing with the mini-corder info, PC Magazine analyse the Aiptek Z700. Can this lesser known brand beat the you-know-what? Doesn't look like it.
