Wandered into PC World this morning

And they had sold only one by 9:30 so I became the second... No rush no queues. Poss no need

For one at work..but at home it's great. Lack of flash hasn't been noticed.

Sent from my iPad

Met him when he was...

editor at PCW.... many many years ago. He was probably my favourite tech journalist...

But if those seven million people

All voted for the pirate party.... they could hold the balance in a new government....

All those identities

someone could be using right now...

It may be some use if....

When you entered a diary item it would send it to your phones calander rather than as a text message. Yup you'd have to tell it what phone you use but that would have done it for me..

He may be an idiot

But the Segway is a great way to get about and should be allowed. Rode one for two days round Chicago a few years back and would love to be able to use them legally in the UK.

Heaven forbid....

It appeared on wikileaks....

Then there would be no way it could be taken down.... alledgedly..

Got both the Wii and XBox

And we've switched off the Xbox as it wasn't getting used unlike the Wii.

Will people buy the XBox just because it's cheap when (If they have friends and want to play social games not just shoot em ups etc) the better gameplay makes the Wii an obvious buy.

Flames coz all the XBox fans will be popping a zit about how the graphics are soo much better blah blah blah. Yes but the Wii is more fun to play and that's why it sells.

Resistance....

...is futile.

Do I hear the sound of....

The Apple lawyers rushing towards another generic apple clone with copies of the EULA in their grubby mitts...

Why aren't they using

Palm Pulp, natural byproduct, totally compstable & low carbon footprint...

Adam who's company sells Palm Pulp Tarys...

Tried Home Server

on the original Beta, was too buggy even at RTM so I bought an ICY-BOX NAS for £80 and stuffed two 1GB drives, works like a dream, low power consumption, good media streaming and reliable... everything Home Server isn't.

PS My invite for the Beta of the bug fix ended up in the Junk Items... how appropriate

worryingly...

Yes we do have 5.1 in our bedroom and 2.0 in the bathroom and 7.1 in the lounge, simply because about 3 years ago we upgraded the receiver and richer Sounds were doing a fantastic offer on speakers so we moved the old one upstairs.

Given the advances in stand alone televisions in the last 20 years from NICAM onwards most TV's sold will be at least 2.0 with the exception of small portables which are probably unsuitable for a console like the wii, so I ask again where is their market?

Why...

would I want that, most people have 5.1 surround systems now.

Alternatively...

Buy an Intempo, they all run the same software & hardware for network access and save yourself approx £100.....

Still got my...

Oficial standard issue ICL one from 20 years ago when I worked at Kidsgrove on the DRS-300...

Mid march...

Has actually come and gone. It's the 18th today so how on earth can they make a mid March shipping if it's not available yet....

Good use for a zune!

Alternatively if you're scared of having your iPod stolen by either of the people in the UK who don't yet have one...

Arf!

Battery

"The battery's a three-cell unit capable, we'd say, of running the P1620 for four hours,"

And keeping the laptop on fire for at least an hour afterwards....

How much is too much

There is one image of the flag of the Hitler Youth. Someone appears to be trying to make a name for themselves.

Also, where is the Paris Hilton angle?

Surely everyone knows...

the standard volume measurement is the Am.

Have none of you ever drunk at the Technique and Ferret?

It already exists

...Arf and thrice Arf...

I'll give

3 to 1 that they don't suceed....

Just in time...

...for the Xmas rush for Windows Home Server.

Before you post....

Make sure that whilst it may be based on 2K3, you can actually get to the power save settings you talk about as most of the things you'd expect on a 2K3 server are hidden......

IIRC from testing it, whilst it's based on 2K3, it hasn't got the same interface and trying to do any disk maintenance is fraught with difficulties due to the way it uses disks as a continuous volume.

Why Pay more...

For a small Windows 2K3 server which won't stream music in the correct order when you could buy a Synology Diskstation with TwonkyMedia for a lot less that won't get crippled by infections, has the same functionality and can be amended at the system level if you so desire.

Had Home Server at Beta, dumped it tried the RTM, kept it dumped...Just say no to theis one!

Well he wins the award...

For spotting the bleeding obvious.

Or did he have to wait for someone to read the search survey results on The Reg to him.
