Not Android?

Why aren't crims robbing androids?

No resale value? Nobody wants to buy them?

What are other phone suppliers doing wrong?

If Apple can have fans like this, whether it's sad/obsessive/lots of other adjectives, then what are other manufacturers failing to do? Clearly it's either a superior product or superior marketing.

Work in progress

They should have released this as a beta. Like they did with Siri.

That way they can put all this down to it being a beta.

I am glad they have done this. For me, slightly worse mapping, but with turn by turn is better.

Vodafone 12 month 51 quid for me same as last year. Get 20% off line rental so £679.

Cheaper than buying outright plus Giff gaff

That's if they confirm VOIP is included.

Cheap as!

Produced or Assembled

Probably just incorrect use of English, but the assembly has moved to the UK not the production.

Hopefully they will be able to keep up with demand although I have been able to pick 2 pi's up next day delivery of late (albeit at the slightly inflated price of £30).

I imagine the thickening of atmosphere would be a very similar feeling to deploying a parachute.

Not sure if they use a drogue to slow down freefall (very much like a tandem instructor would).

Apple TV

I don't understand this, Apple already do a TV product don't they? If they had all this extra wizardry available to them, why not throw it into the already established set top box and be done with it?

Apple don't even produce their own screens do they? I though they bought it from the likes of Samsung?

Hmm capsule coffee

Unless you grind beans you are drinking plastic coffee.

And whilst you are at it buy something that was at least roasted this year (week)

Nothing wrong with being a snob :-)

I like the new fondleslab, screen is improved, and viewing very small text is definitely improved........ But that's where the problem is, I don't want to read small text.

In every situation that I could see I would zoom rather than make use of the extra pixels.

As such I will be keeping my lighter, cheaper, better battery, jailbroken iPad 2

I love how these statistics are always wrong when they side with apple.

Whether it's highly technical users or complete idiots the fact of the matter is that the stats show iphone users AS A WHOLE are more satisfied, surely that means other companies need to create more user satisfying experiences.

I am not saying android should lose it's openness or customisations, but as a standard product it needs to be easier to use.

I used android for 3 years, had several custom mods etc. and have recently moved to a 4s. I am now more satisfied (although it helps that the hardware of the 4s is well beyond the spec of my previous android device).

Richer?

So people that purchase more expensive phones are richer? Hold the front page?

Legalise cleanfiler bypass

One of the major problems I see with this ruling is that previous breaking cleanfeed was illegal, not because of the technicalities in doing so but because if you did you were essentially downloading CP.

Now you break cleanfeed and simply be accessing an index file (that there is nothing illegal about). Yes it can be used for illegal purposes but on it's own there isn't anything illegal.

Site Defence

If I am a provider of a copy protected work, even if it's as small as a one man band photographer. Can I now ask the court to block google as they are linking to my work on a completely different site?

Would the court invite google to defend itself? (they didn't invite newzbin2)

www.newzbin3.com

"It knows that the users of Newzbin2 include BT subscribers; and it knows those users use its service to receive infringing copies of copyright works made available to them by Newzbin2"

Newzbin2 make no copyright works available, if all the content was removed from newsgroup providers (such as giganews), then what Newzbin2 do wouldn't help with providing content at all.

Will be interesting how they propose to do the block, like greem says this is probably the birth of newzbin3.

Apple to stick to (roughly) year refresh

Not really a surprise.

Given that most contracts are 12 or 24 month contracts these days how would it make business sense to do anything else?

All the people who purchased a 3GS at release on 24 month contracts are all coming up to the end of those contracts.

Why 10/100?

The 480i output is when outputting a clone of IOS (at least that's how I read it)

Output of other media will be up to 1080p

Why is a gigabit port of any use to media streaming device? To stream media that's over 100Mbps? And where would that content come from?

Masterpiece

No other word for it.

No way we will see these

How many different display types have we seen never materialise in TVs? FED SED OLED etc.

The only way we will see these is if they figure out how to make them cheaper to manufacture than LCD.

Otherwise they will just keep flogging LCD and put 3d on the end of it.

iPhail 4

Firstly it was leakier than a porcupines water balloon.

Then when it was released, they managed to prevent it doing the one thing you would expect from a phone and that's to actually make calls!!!

THEN to top it off, their solution wasn't to recall the product, ohh no, after discovering such a major issue with their all glass/aluminium sleakly designed phone, they decided to let you have a FREE shitty bit of plastic to put round it. "Yeah thanks for that crapple".

COD BO

Which unlike the fat scottish pie eating contestant is actually worth having on the TV :D

OMG Manic Miner

Classic game :D

Hmm wonder if I can find it for android

MCR released

And an unlock is available for using on other networks for circa £3.

Had mine since friday :D

Treat myself to one, put my orange contract SIM in, 500MB of data.

MCR rom coming soon, if not already released, to strip all the orange rubbish off.

Screen is amazing, had it next to an Iphone 4 earlier and I couldn't decide which I prefered, colours were better (IMO) than the iphone, with a slightly worse res.

All in all for £80 (nhs discount), unbelievably good phone.

ZTE Blade

It's basically a ZTE Blade, looks a very tasy phone for £100

Could be a big winner for orange

I might take a look at one for myself if the screen is any good.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

I don't get this; Microsoft, in europe at least, got a ticking off from the courts, because it bundled IE with windows, giving it an unfair advantage against the other available browsers.

Not only do apple bundle their own browser with the Jesus phone, but the specifically ban any other browser?

How is that not getting stomped on?

Mean and Average?

The average number of applications downloaded (18) is skewed by a small number of people downloading huge numbers of apps (the mean is 10)

Average is 18, but the mean average is 10? Most people use mean and average interchangeably.

Huge halo fanbois

See I am a big halo fan, family life means I don't really get to play like I used to, but still a big fan.

Wasn't impressed with ODST, the lack of anything new multiplayer wise, meant it wasn't really a halo game.

See the thing with comparing console games and pc games is that the campain is never going to be as accurate in term of a control system, and it's designed to accomodate that.

Online everyone has the same controller, so alls fair, you don't like getting shot in the back whilst trying to turn, then try facing the person that's shooting you!!!

That said COD multiplayer has taken over as my fav fps, and I am not sure I can go back.

Muppet deserves prison for stupidity

Lets face it;

has the brains to come up with plan

get pictures on laptop

puts them on CD

sends CD to police

makes "anonymous" call FROM HIS OWN MOBILE PHONE

They should jail him for stupidity as well!

Screen

You know I am just not convinced by the screen, yes it's very sharp, but is it as good looking as some of the new OLED screens, lets say the desire?

I haven't held them side by side, but have had a good look on the same day and I know which one I prefer.

Aside from location info

What use does this info have?

If you wanted complete and utter security, then don't broadcast something publically.
