CORRECTED: This has already been widely covered but it made me laugh so hard I have to re-post it.

A graduate called Guy Goma was waiting for a job interview in the reception of BBC Television centre in London.

A producer called out the name of Guy Kewney, a well known IT journalist that they were planning to interview on the subject of the Apple Corps versus Apple Computer lawsuit. Mr. Goma raised his hand to the producer thinking that they were looking for him and he found himself being ushered into a studio and fitted with a microphone.

You have to watch the video of him being interviewed and fair play he gives it a go!

Here’s Guy Keyney’s take on the episode.

I've arrived in Seattle this evening flying with SAS via Copenhagen.  I had planned to post this from the plane with the Wireless broadband but unfortunately while I can confirm the Wi-Fi works the power in the seats beside me was broken so I lost my battery before I could get writing.

The wireless is a little spotty, it kicks in an out from time to time, but it's perfect for catching up on e-mail and some web browsing.  The real problem is the access. I was travelling in Economy Plus and with my mini-mainframe Toshiba luggable it's fairly uncomfortable – I can only imagine that in steerage (where I'll be for the return) it's nigh impossible unless you have an Origami type device.

So the broadband works and if you're at the front of the bus then you could get some serious work done.

Very tired… it's very muggy here.
