And yet most head to heads I've read seem to favour the HTC One over the S4.

I for one am safe regardless

We're over 100m above sea level in St Albans. All I need now is a boat, and some form of defence from the misplaced hoards...

Twat is the word I've seen linked to him more than most on twitter today. Strangely apt.

You'd think supplying the APU for the PS4 and the next Xbox would be a bit of a cash generator wouldn't you?

I'm confused. Both of these minority shareholders are advocating BORROWING money to pay out as dividend? Aside from that been a bit bonkers (and assuming Dell has the distributable profits to do it), what sane lender is going to pony up several billion dollars to just see the cash immediately vanish out of the company? It's hard enough getting a mortgage with a property as collateral at the moment. Yes, Dell probably has lots of unencumbered assets on it's books but given the way PC reselling is going at the moment, it'll probably need them.

Red Elf Shot the food!

Red Elf is about to die....

mifi

What's the battery like on a 4G mifi then?

And the CNN posse did the same trip without a single problem. fromage frais Rodney...

Sandisk Extreme

Where can I get one of these for around £75 then? Best I've found is £89 :)

At theoretical maximum data transfer rates, EE's cheapest data bundle could be used in 27 seconds. It's all pretty meaningless unless phone companies are willing to make it affordable.

Two options that occur to me:

1) burn it with fire

2) nuke it from orbit (it's the only way to be sure)

Kingston Wi-Drive 128GB- useless as it's formatted to FAT32 :(

I won the Ferrari headphones in a competition and they are aces though :)

The Nexus is currently on 6-7 weeks for new orders, so hardly best for Christmas unless you're looking at Christmas 2013 :/

I was waiting most of this year for the Atrix to get updated to ICS. The release date kept on slipping until quietly, at the end of September, Motorola announced it would stay on Gingerbread. Motorola are now infamous for poor updates on existing phones, something which is going to be a real problem for Android going forwards as new flagship models are now launched less than a year apart, as are new versions of Android, when most people have 18-24 month contracts on phones that the manufacturer doesn't update as it's not in their interests to. Even on a SIM only deal, I don't want to upgrade every 6 months to get a modern version of Android :/

Whatever you do, don't google the woman's name. Think I'd rather be bludgeoned to death that suffocated in there :/

Does the touch screen make it top heavy at all?

Aaaah, those high-waisted, skin tight jeans.

*shudder*

Deloitte prepared the bundle for KPMG to do due diligence on? My, there's going to be some fun to be had in those offices :/

Didn't realise she did Penetrator, I used to LOVE that game :D

Secret Oranges

Steve Cooks blog, secret-oranges.blogspot.co.uk is well worth a subscribe. He was at the heart of 2000AD when it mattered and is always scanning cool stuff in from waaaaay back.

It was a joke. Ten minutes late to launch,followed by half an hour of timing out, lock ups, one almost complete payment process, and it now looks like no Nexus 4 for me today or in the foreseeable future. And to add insult to injury, I've just got my email from Google notifying me it's available for sale :/

I'm not a fan of this sort of tax avoidance but it's only part of the picture and it leads me to suspect some element of political show boating from PAC.

If you look at the HMRC Calculating the tax gap briefing from October, you'll see that HMRC reckon some £32bn in tax income went walkabout during 2010-2011 via avoidance or evasion. It further says half of this, £16bn, was due to SME's (small and medium sized entities- you're normal, non-multinational giants). Why not go after them with the same sort of publicity?

Oh that's right, Reuters didn't do a report on them.

Sorting out the taxation of these multinationals is going to be a legislative nightmare that is going to take years to get right. Whilst this is a step in the right direction, I fear that the gov won't see it through to the bitter end.

"Android in 2013". According to the Guardian/Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, Android had an 8% point lead over IOS back in January and yet the minority OS is still getting preferential treatment?

FPS- missing the point

Is something runs at 200fps that's good because when things gets very busy onscreen, it'll drop. If it drops 75%, that's still 50fps- try waiting for the screen to get busy when you're only managing 50fps to start with... it'll turn into a slide show!

Any point given the price of the Nexus 4? This looks inferior in every single way :/

Currently they can price gouge because there is no competitor. At launch EE also has capacity issues, which means the sell it cheap, get a huge installed userbase option isn't open to them either. It's a lose/lose in my book, I'll stick with my £13 a month SIM only deal on Three that gets me unlimited data and tethering.

Me, I wish they'd all stuck with 3G until universal coverage got sorted :/

The first to vote? It's currently a landslide for Connery :D

The biggest bonus of 32gigs of storage built in is the ability to put large files (movies mostly) on it. With an SD card you're gimped by the FAT32 file system aren't you?

Looks like the rumours of a $199 launch price were woefully inaccurate then. Can see this dying on it's arse. Android- a lot cheaper, iPad, the same price.

Name me anyone who's competed with Apple on features with tablets, not price, and has won?

Oh

The thing I remember about Half Life is the AI/scripted pretend AI. Right near the beginning when a squad of soldiers move up on you through an area of storage containers, they give covering fire as they advance on you. How unbelievably cool is/was that? I was blown away, literally and metaphorically :D

No Avast! on the home test? Shame.

I hope the terms and conditions of the promotion say one per customer for completing the survey. Would love to see all the games downloaded invalidated. Gaming is having a tough enough time financially as it is, without bona fide customers exploiting cock ups.

Build quality

One of the most important features, which was completely ignored by the review is the build quality. Is it a flexy and plasticky as some of the other Samsung flagship devices???

I liked Populous but LOVED Powermonger :)
