Stephen Fry, the nation's favourite tweeter, appeared at the Apple Store in London last Tuesday, to provide the answer to life, the universe and everything, as his late mate Douglas Adams put it. Nothing he said would have surprised anyone familiar with the Fryian universe: mostly he covered familiar ground. However, he did speak out for open source ("which is a pretty anti-Apple thing to say, since OS X isn't"), and he pointed out that the technology shift didn't arrive with computers but with books. To understand the code, "you had to have been trained in reading," he said. "That was the moment [storytelling] stopped being human."
Fry fans will be able to download a podcast of the talk at Apple's iTunes Store from Tuesday 10 February.
UPDATE: The full-length Stephen Fry podcast is now available to download, for free, from the iTunes Store.
