R . I . P R a y.
Your artistry was an inspiratrion to millions. You will be sorely missed in a world of movies that depend on big bangs.
I remember seeing seeing his Sinbad and Clash of the Titans movie and was gobsmacked.
Icon chosen as an acknoledgement of the style of his moves.
Re: Choice for the adult user please
That will allow the user real choice, which is something that Apple simply cannot allow. It would run contrary to their goal of controlling everything.
And another genius is lost to us.
RIP Gerry Anderson
Thank you for the decades of entertainment you gave all children, from a kid who never quite grew up,
So Micro$oft have fucked things up again
Are any of us really surprised?
Walmart.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Re: Just claim its an orphan work
Can't be done since they already stated to the photographers agent they would not use it for advertising. Not even a company as arrogant as Apple would be that stupid.
So cowell is not...
Just content to fucking up the music business and dumping loads of half baked "talents" onto the music scene? Now he wants to fuck around with somwething he has no fucking clue about whatsoever? And who is the tard he is bering in on it? someone IT related? nope. It is a c-rapper with dubious musical skills who can design a different dress.
Will someone please tell that useless dork to leave IT alone. We don't want to likes of him anywhere near us!
Apple are starting to make Macro$loth look competent.
Just sayin'
Re: Quality control...
Apple don't need to do any quality control. It Just Works!
They got ripped off
Dick Smiths is worth way less than that. Their staff have no clue about technology other than what they parrot from the manufactuers printed toilet paper, they have moved from their electronic component roots and they charge like a wounded bull. I was pricing a 32Ggb microsd card and their price was four times what was being asked in computer retail stores. And that was fora DSE branded microsd, so we don't know what shitty, cheapass knockoff brand it was, versus name brand microsds from the computer retailers.
They will soon disappear as private equity firms have a tendency to asset strip then leave the bare bones to decompose.
When I first read this articles headline...
I thought it said "Ballmer: Win8 'certainly surpasses' Win95 in impotence ." and I agreed with that 100%.Then I realised it said something different.
I would have sent him one...
Of course, it might not be assembled, the board may not have any circuits etched on it nor artwork related to the location of components, no firmware loaded and a brief note saying "Some assembly required."
Wow Players.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Hmmmmm, I wonder...
Ahhh, but it isn't sufficient. The Sydney Morning Herald today listed the country at 9 in medal count as AUS Zealand.

Still, we will be happy to help our lesser talented cousins in The West Island with their erecent slump in sports.
Hmmmmm, I wonder...
Does anyone think that the Aussies will find a martian capable of helping them win more than one gold medal at The O Games?
No great surprise.
Even the animals take drugs in order to escape the dreary, mind numbing nothingness that is life in Hamilton.
Re: PMSL
Or it could be a fanboi who is still paying off that overpriced piece of junk and can't afford to get it serviced by an authorized (read overpriced) service agent.
I must admit I am a bit surprised.
I am surprised that no-one mentioned a link between Apple's software and the name of the "software" used in that truly awful movie "The Net"
Re: Re: I wonder how long.....
Actually, Mr Smartypants, at home I use both Windows and Linux.
I use Windows for the thing it is best at, namely gaming, and I use Linux for pretty much everything else. I just wish I had the choice to use Linux at work, but unfortunately my employer is firmly entrenched in Microsoft's inefficient bloatware.
I wonder how long.....
it will be before Apple slams the roof on their walls, turning the garden into a mushroom factory, forcing their vict^H^H^H^Hcustomers to buy all the software through the Apple store, thus ensuring a guaranteed income stream from the 30% they force the sellers to fork over.
Thak smeg that I have managed to avoid being sucked in by the shiny, thus being able to chose what I install on my computer, rather than having my choice limited by a monopolostic, avaricious company hell bent on forcing everyone to do it the way the company want.
Freedom of choice
is what I got
Freedom of choice
is what I want
(Apologies to Devo)
Could it be that there are too few WinTards to make a statistically significant bump in the data?
Indeed.
I agree with you 100%.
They moved from their base of selling electronic components to being nothing more than another consumer electronics seller with clueless sales droids. It would not be so bad if they were reasonably priced but sometimes their prices are 50% higher than their competitors. They are certainly regarded as a joke in the computer industry. As for calling themselves "techxperts", what a joke. Most of their sales droids don't have a clue beyond the promotional crap they are told..
Further to this...
The new rate only applies to new contracts. Us consumers with existing ISP's will continue to be rorted until such time as the existing contracts expire, and as ISP's buy capacity on a 10 yearly cycle, it could be up to a decade before prices drop for some! Yet more proof that real competition is urgently required.
No surprise
Now that the Southern Cross monopoly is threatened, they suddenly find the ability to increase the capacity and dramatically reduce the price. There is no real surprise in this. New Zeland saw the same thing when the Telecom New Zealand, infamous in New Zeland for some of their business practices and their CEO admitting that Telecom used used "confusion" to keep prices up, monopoly on broadband and PSTN services was removed. Speeds got better, data caps were raised. Now the same thing is happening with Southern Cross. And not surprisingly, Telecom New Zealand is a 50% shareholder in the Southern Cross consortium. Co-incidence? I will leave the reader to think on that one.
No thanks.
I would rather take Team Dædalus to a bunch of drillheads.
Comet?
I though airlines has stopped flying those things long ago.
I was very sad to hear that she had lost her battle with cancer.
She was one of my first crushes once I became aware of the delights of the opposite sex..
She will be sadly missed by a lot of us Dr Who fans.
R.I.P. Elisabeth.
WTF?
"Apple simply got there first, just as they created the smartphone market"
Say what? Dude, you have got to give me the name of our dealer as he is selling you some righteous stuff!
Sweet as, bro!
Bottoms up to you pommy gits for finally recognising the best part of the world is in the southern hemisphere although the bit just off to the west is not quite as good, although they are almost as good at rugby and rugby league.
And I agree about the bogan icon
Fosters in no more beer than Budweisers
For the authentic stuff, you need to go to the boutique breweries.
And yes, England may have the Ashes but then again it is also where Rugby and Rugby League go for their retirement holidays after no longer cutting it souith of the equator. Oh, and about the Football World Cup...........
I have big hands and big feet
I don't have an iPhone? Co-incidence?
Of course not.
And now back to typing with something above my waist.
Yet another reason not to buy Apple crap
The phone you can't use as a phone. Brilliant idea there,. Steviepoos.
Time for a new catchphrase
How about "It may have hung but it didn't crash", or "It just works... when it wants to".
Why am I not surprised.
A dodgy guy looking to control the media and shape the news so that it reflects his warped sense of "unbiased" reporting sucking up to someone hellbent on controlling every little thing people do on his overpriced, overhyped hardware.
Why does this not surprise me and also make my spine quiver?
Let's see,,,
WPA2 security enabled - Priceless and enabled.
63 character key of non-consecutive A-Z, a-z,0-9, !@#$%^&*()_+-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ - Priceless and enabled.
SSID not being broadcast - Priceless and enabled!
For everything else, you got snooped!
The reason Apple is so tied to H.264?
It couldn't possibly be due to having a finger in the H.264 patent pie, could it?
Why else would they so vociferously preventing anything but a patented codec being used in an supposedly open standard?
Resistance is fultile..
You will be assimilated. Your distinctiveness will be eliminated and you will become mindless drones like us.
All hail Steven Jobs
@Yannic
She can't act either, but that hasn't stopped idiots casting her . But it is a case of movie matching actress, namely both being low rent, low value, low IQ.
Conical hat for Mr Warner please!
Warners have just shown they are the biggest dunces in that collective lump of stupidity called the recording industry. The RIAA (more correctly called the mafIAA) have repeatedly shown hat they believe the rules apply to everyone but them and that they only have profit at heart, not the artists they purport to represent.
How much of the billions that the mafIAA makes actually goes to the artists? Does the percentage even climb into double figures?
As far as I am concerned they are a bunch of robber barons who need to be kneecapped.
Dell, doing something to disadvantage their customers?
Surely not!
It is not as if they are having to move to a bricks and mortar sales method due to falling turnover or anything like that and it is not as if this wqill generate extra income for them by forcingt people to buy overpriced drives because there is a little Dell logo on it.
Oh, wait, never mind. I forgot who we are talking about here. All this will do is drive customers away from Dell even more, due in no small part toi the normal Dell approach to customer service, in this case being none.
A bit fat fail
The IPad is a fail. It is nothing more than a oversized, overpriced IPod Touch. So much for the "it will change computing forever" bullshit hype.
No web cam, no USB, no SD card slot, no ethernet, no multitasking, no Ogg Vorbis, no FLAC. WTF were Apple thinking?
And so much for "web pages as they were meant to be seen". More like web pages seen as Jobsientology thinks you should see them.
And is that a trademark lawsuit I see coming over the horizon, given how many items there are out there called iPad? Poor research again, Apple.
No doubt, however, the Apple fanniboys will be crawling all over this, posing with then in the street.
What else do you expect?
It is a c-rap "artist". They are all a bunch of talentless wannabes on the far left of the IQ bell curve.
Of course it is ypour choice pandy06269
You can install any spoftware you choose to, from anywhere, withput any restriction being placed on what you canm install in any way whatsoever.
Oh wait, that's right. You own an iPhone, so you can only install software thaty has been approved by His Holy Exaltedness Steven Jobs through his cult of Jobscientology.
What about Windows indeed, Pandy.
No, you cannot roll back the OS, but you CAN remove and reinstall any version of any software package you own at any time. You can also install any software you wish to that you obtained from your own chosen source on a Windows PC without some self important gnome saying yes or no, you can or cannot install that.
RIP Mr Woodward
Yet another great actor has died, reducing the quality of the pool to a much lower level of idiocy, banality and lack of greativity, which, alas, tends to reflect the idiocy, banality and lack of creativity of the movie and TV industry in general.
Rest well, sir. You shall be sorely missed.
Finally, a use forthe Rickroll
Using to humiliate Jobsientologists. Whas a shzame it didn't set an alarm that played that song every 15 minutes. That would cause a lot of crushed imaposerPhones
Apple quality control strikers again
That is they didn't even bother.
So McSue has gone, but...
the rest of the (mis)management of SCO are still carrying on the pointless, ridiculous charade that was the final nail in the coffin of this company.
Why doesn't the US government do the right thing and just put the thing to sleep like the rabid, toothless dog with four useless legs that it is?
It just works
your data into nothingness that is.
Just gotta say way to go there guys. Just glad my PC doesn't chew my data up because I log into an account.
This is yet more proof that some humans are incredibly stupid
Unfortunately this is just more proof that there are far too many people that buy into the bullshit that these modern day snakeoil salesmen flog off. People would rather believe mystical mumbo-jumbo rather than doing a rigorous study of independently verifiable, uip to date infomation.
