I just watched the movie "Get Smart," and I have to admit it was better than I thought it was going to be. I was not a fan of the original series and I had very low hopes on the movie being any better, but Steve Carell is probably my favorite actor at the moment. He can make me laugh. Every single time he is on screen in Anchorman I crack up and the scene in Bruce Almighty where he spouts gibberish while reading the news is hilarious.

I was looking on you tube for some funny steve carrell moments and I've decided I've got to watch the Office more often.
 
That movie was much better than expected, and it kind of got me hooked onto The Office as well.

(Not to say that Carell's Daily Show days and other movies were bad--I simply hadn't seen as much of them)

It may seem like an impractical novelty in a world of iPhones and tiny bluetooth headsets but the inventor, Paul Gardner-Stephen, insists there are practical applications - including, surprisingly enough, helping the elderly.

And the gadget has been so popular among the geek crowd that he is considering selling it via online stores...
