In the age of the camera phone it's a bit weird when you're sitting having dinner in a restaurant and people think they're being very subtle taking a photo while in fact they're being very obvious. when you're in a middle of a mouthful with friends or family and people come up asking for a photograph, that's when you want to say, 'actually, i'm going to say no; i'd like to finish my meal. this is my time.'

More From Hugh Bonneville

How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. i had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. it is a melancholy truth that i will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. i am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

Between two fantasy alternatives, that holbein the younger had lived long enough to have painted shakespeare or that a prototype of the camera had been invented early enough to have photographed him, most bardolators would choose the photograph. this is not just because it would presumably show what shakespeare really looked like, for even if the photograph were faded, barely legible, a brownish shadow, we would probably still prefer it to another glorious holbein. having a photograph of shakespeare would be like having a nail from the true cross.

The new iphone has encryption that protects the contents of the phone. this means if someone steals your phone - if a hacker or something images your phone - they can't read what's on the phone itself, they can't look at your pictures, they can't see the text messages you send, and so forth. but it does not stop law enforcement from tracking your movements via geolocation on the phone if they think you are involved in a kidnapping case, for example.
Mean Thinking Phones
When i was a kid, phone calls were a premium commodity; only the very coolest kids had a phone line of their own, and long-distance phone calls were made after eleven, when the rates went down, unless you were flamboyant with your spending. then phone calls became as cheap as dirt and as constant as rain, and i was on the phone all the time.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

One of things about beards is that, when men reach a certain age, they'd like to see if they can grow one. it's a phenomenon i understand very well. after you get over the itchy face, you go, "oh, i don't have to shave, that's cool." and then you move into the philosophical thing- people say, "you look weird, you have a beard." and you say, "no, actually, it's weird to shave." having a beard is natural. when you think about it, shaving it off is quite weird.

Digital hub (center of our universe) is moving from pc to cloud - pc now just another client alongside iphone, ipad, ipod touch, ... - apple is in danger of hanging on to old paradigm too long (innovator's dilemma) - google and microsoft are further along on the technology, but haven't quite figured it out yet - tie all of our products together, so we further lock customers into our ecosystem
