I don't think anyone is going to be convinced Pete Doherty has turned in his rocker persona for a more geeky one, but he deserves props for fanning off the paparazzi with his all powerful MacBook instead of say, a blow to the head.

Apparently, Doherty was leaving fiancée Kate Moss’s home in St. Johns Wood Tuesday, when he found himself being followed by cameramen. Instead of flipping out, he whipped out his MacBook and started recording them with his built-in iSight video.

See how chic being geeky can be? No bruises, no court dates, just video feed and a pretty sleek computer. I say Kate's chicness is rubbing off on the man.

And here I was thinking iSight was only good for video chatting with cross country friends.
