back to article Instagram on iPhone 5: Now you can spoil even MORE snaps

    Yet another iphone/Apple advert from The Register, hiding behind the now obvious and transparent device of a supposedly critical article.

    Yawn.

      Some advert

      It remains entirely beyond me why anyone would want a lovely sharp 8Mp camera to produce results which would embarrass a $5 Holga.

    Where's the article rating feature gone?

    Just curious but why has the ability to rate an article disappeared? Has it been disabled because it was being abused? I've noticed iOS/Android articles tend to be quite harshly rated if the author says something unpopular, even if there's nothing specifically incorrect or inaccurate to the journalism.

      They were probably getting downvoted because everyone was getting sick and tired of them. Which is fair enough, I certainly know I was.

      Perhaps someone at Buzzard Central recognized the pointlessness of popularity contests. We can only hope that comment voting is next on the chopping block.

      I wonder if Orlowski and Page were getting a little embarrassed.

    If scrapping live filters is controversial...

    why not lead the story with that?

    Instagram would be cooler

    if you didn't need an account.

    I got instragram ages ago and liked it, but I don't see the need of the social stuff, so I didn't bother using it for ages and now I can't even remember my username and password. Maybe I should just get hipstamatic or something.
