“50 min: Lampard plays a ball down the inside left for Rooney, springing him clear in the area. He squares for Defoe, who taps home. Sadly for England, both men were offside. “In light of your suggestion for John Terry’s shirt design,” writes Anthony Pease, “Emile Heskey could wear a similar one, only with the arrow on the back and another pointing to his elbow.””

“52 min: Johnson turns inside from the right wing and sends a peachy cross towards the far post. It flies this much over Rooney’s head and out of play. This is all England at the moment. James has had to deal with a couple of speculative crosses from the Slovenes in this half, but nothing dramatic. “After Capello urging Barry to provide what England are missing,” writes Michael Hunt, “I was delighted to see him taking the jumping-on-the-goal-scorer’s-back-to-celebrate-like-you-had-anything-to-do-with-the-goal role left dangerously vacant since Rio went home.””

“78 min: England are pinning Slovenia back now. Fabio Capello looks very calm on the sidelines. Kirm is replaced by Matavz. Here’s a primal scream from Steve Howard: “In response to Laurence Welford (53 mins), FrankLampard had had 31 shots on goal in his World Cup career going into this game. Only one person has had more (33) in world cup history. He’s already missed once more so far this game, so all he needs to do is miss a shot on goal 2 more times (should be easy for him) and he will be the record-holding worst-person-of-all-time at shooting on goal in all world cup history. He also had 24 shots on goal last world cup without scoring (the most of any player in that tournament). Please, please, for the love of God, why won’t he just STOP!!! Pass the bloody ball to someone else! Bloody clown!””

“I always felt like computers were meant to be used with at least a hand poised on the home row, because without that arsenal of verbs things just take too long. As a power user, watching someone who isn’t familiar with all the shortcuts can put your patience under observation. To some folks, everything about the desktop is a hindrance, like swimming in molasses. But to the geeky or trained, the desktop is a fount of power and speed. Documents are side by side, text flies from here to there, IMs are answered and dismissed, mockups reloaded, batches processed, all with tiny movements of the fingers. For those of us who work all day on computers, touch interfaces are not an impending disruption. While the future of the desktop is bright, like some maturing stars it also becomes more concentrated. If I place a bet, it’ll be that the desktop negotiates its place among tablets to settle on a role we haven’t seen in a while: the workstation. As for interface designers, we will sometimes shift out of the one-size-fits-all mindset to ask ourselves: Which device is this app really for? The workstation or the tablet?”

“They’d do it because they’d be able to set the curriculum. When you have kids you think, What exactly do I want them to learn? Most of the stuff they study in school is completely useless. But some incredibly valuable things you don’t learn until you’re older - yet you could learn them when you’re younger. And you start to think, What would I do if I set a curriculum for a school? God, how exciting that could be! But you can’t do it today. You’d be crazy to work in a school today. You don’t get to do what you want. You don’t get to pick your books, your curriculum. You get to teach one narrow specialization. Who would ever want to do that?”
