Wikipedia...
Quote: "The Register frequently uses sarcasm in its articles and often provides an iconoclastic stance (e.g. referring to Google as the worlds largest text-ad broker). Much of the reporting is of a style more commonly found in British tabloid newspapers than in more serious news publications. " (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_register - accessed 28/09/2007 11:30AM) ;-)

Don't post comments on stories after beer / other substances
...unless you are amanfromMars, or relish waking up the next day to a hangover and a flame war about what you said about Steve Jobs / Bill Gates / next door's goat...
Technology Wars
iCommandment #1: Thou shalt not defend that which is shiny and overpriced merely because you feel that failure to do so might lead to buyer's remorse and consequent expulsion from the choir of iSeraphim angels which, verily, do praise Steve Jobs.
or, in the interests of fairness:
iCommandment #2: Thou shalt not extract the Michael from Apple fans, if only because skewering the easy target demonstrates low levels of wit and skill.
On the other hand, iCommandment #2 was made to be broken...
thou shalt not...
...have an IT angle
...fail to refer to Paris Hilton
...create harmony between fanboys and apologistas
I'm sick of this fluff
Seriously, what is the IT angle here? The standard of reporting here has really gone to the dogs since I were a lad.
whats the IT angle?
well where is it on this story?
sorry couldn't resist :)
my quite sensible rule, make all comments humorous or informative

Another rule
Thou shalt claim everything is a Neo-con conspiracy and challenge other to prove it isn't.

Thou shall respect Chuck Norris or else expect a beating of epic proportions.
Although its perefectly exceptible to ridicule his religious beliefs.
The first rule is...
... no posting if you’re not that bright.
Remember, most people on here are at least Degree educated (or of equivalent intelligence). I like to think of it as a kind of Fight Club meets Mensa (But with a better stocked bar)
The second rule, dont post Anon, unless trolling.
