> “Fondleslabs.” From the first line of the article. I’ll have to remember that one!

The Register has some great terms: boffins (technical professionals), punters (average users), TITSUP (Total Inability To Supply Useful Performance), fondleslab, many others...

The first two are long-term Britishisms. Have seen TITSUP on both sides of the pond in various iterations. Fondleslabs though, is a new one on me. Absolutely love it. I suppose they apply it to any tablet.
