Hmm

For me, this has already been realised in the game 'Treasure Island Dizzy'.

Mind you, I am an egg.

M
Happy

Wow

This looks AWESOME! Hopefully I can get rid of the ghosts that haunt my fridge, drink my beer and eat my sausages. And rape me.

FFS

Why are the shittest telco getting all these exclusives? I was with 02 and they couldnt get my bill right. I am with orange now and they have no decent phones. None! Oooh a Nokia!

tarts!

grumble grumble

M

Sounds alright

But I am waiting for the Samsung Omnia HD and this ain't it. THIS AIN'T IT!

M

lol

man_from_enemy_mine: I just met an enemy today. I might make him mine.

Gates Horns

Marvellous

No doubt that they will seek to limit whatever profit they may make by just selling it in the motherland. The rest of the world need not apply.

I have to say

It sounds horribly believeable.

M

Hopefully this will work

If it doesn't, well it made me chuckle anyway. Also I pledge my 1 SEK!

Goodbye Vienna...

We will miss you :-(

Oh dear, yet another fail

Instead of dealing with the problems, let's obfuscate matters and disembowel the messengers!

Hey Rim?!?

2002 called. They want their phone back.

M
Paris Hilton

I dunno

It might not be far off the mark. If Microsoft wanted to bring something else to the market in the next two years I am sure they would have mentioned it by now. And Sony are committed to their 10 year project.

Paris? I am sure that she will hawk her booty on the market again before then.

@ Bah humbug AC

Very good! You alluded to a 'cafetiere' as a cell phone feature and no phone has that feature! I derived much humour from your remark.

Well done!

M

Oh dear

I guess global productivity is now going to take a hit.

Looks nice

I am up for a phone soon, this could be the one...

Interesting article

And I like your idea of an increased personal allowance roughly matching that of a year's minimum wage salary.

Also Ms. Bee, aren't all your days Flamey days?

M
Flame

Wow, that looks well weapon.

It looks like someone has invented a real life Wasp T12 Speechtool. I guess possession of this pile of tat will enable you to truly be a "self-facilitating media node"

M
Happy

Hmm...Xbox controller?

I think I would prefer a keyboard and high resolution mouse. There is also a great bit in Ghost in the Shell where they have the helicoper snipers!

M
Happy

Sweet

However, as I can't wait that long, I will have to purchase my Masarati now.

3 Tiny Choppers?

Not me, I have a Monster in my Pocket(tm)*

RIP JGB

You will be sadly missed

M

Hooray!

Now I know what I will have for tea tonight! Chicken Kiev with beans and waffles!

Hmm

I think that she probably comes from Pripyat, not Noginsk. That would explain the 'aura'

Inspired by this story

When I was in the pub yesterday, I found that 7/10 women rejected my offers of raw meat. One accepted then reneged on the deal. The other two were, well, chimp-like in their acceptance.

Still. Not an entirely unsuccessful strategy

Cue BBC Hand-wringing

Roll out free live internet telly, then state to the government that people without licenses are 'stealing' tv. Bish hash bosh, a flat rate internet tax 'in case' you decide to watch tv.

M
Happy

Well done

I like the investigative journolism slant.

@Robert E A Harvey

I totally agree with the Telco tie in statement. If Palm tie this up with one phone company per country a la iphone they are totally boned.

I am looking forward to have a play with one as they look great though!

M
Heart

Erm no?

I own an xbox 360 to play halo3 and left4dead with my friends. I would buy a PS3 in a heartbeat if there were any games for me to play. I have played KZ2 but I still don't think that it is the killer app for me to buy one.

*Waits*

Apologies to Baldrick

His little false USB finger looks like a willy. Which is ironic, because my willy looks like a little USB finger.

Anti-PR(S)

Google had a site where music videos were being legally streamed, because the profits from advertising revenue were worth more than the fees to the PRS for the videos. The PRS demanded higher fees that would make the site operate at a loss. So Google has stopped doing so.

That the PRS believes Google is incumbent to run a loss in order to continue acting as a promotional window for the record companies the former represents is the sort of naive thinking that is to be expected of them, frankly. They played hardball, and lost big time.

Fuck me

I would deliberately not bring any money and urinate like a cat on the duty free trolley.

Hehe

Further reports name the Earthworm as 'Jim', who was in pursuit of his 'Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit' which he thought was the laptop.

M
Thumb Down

Well good luck to 'em

Having had video calling features on my phones for about 4 years now and making, let me think, one call in that time to test out the video calling, this isn't a killer app for me.

I do think that reguarly calling from a watch is pretty cool though if coupled with a bluetooth headset or something.

Phwoar

I believe that Sophie Winkleman is rather attractive. Of course, Sophie is not quite as nice as Miss Bee (who is ace!).

Fucking Hell

This really scares the shit out of me. How can we stop this creep of powers?

How about a CCTV icon?

Go on Lads!

Arrr Me Hearties!

M
Happy

WOW!

This is awesome! I will totally get one of these (if they are made by poor chinese kids in a lightless factory)

M
Thumb Up

Wow

I have to admit this seems like a great idea depending on the implementation. I miss physical buttons on my touch screen HTC so this could be the best of both worlds.

M

Hurm

The cynic in me thinks that Skype has found a foolproof way to monetise their business stream. The sloth in me wants to go and have a little lie down.

M

Oh Dear

I am hoping that this will be good down to the ends of my luxuriant curlicues.

If not, well, I know where CC lives...(or used to live anyway)

Redbourn (if it helps).

We definitely need a 'meh' icon.

So...'meh!'

If Heath Ledger were alive now...

He would be scrabbling like mad on his coffin lid. (Apologies for forgetting who said the original quote.)

Instead of an ID card with foreign languages on it...

I would like chips for tea.

How much more black could this be?

The answer is none. None more black.

Lots of people are critical

To be fair there isn't a lot of detail in this article but I agree that this person was very foolish. However if he or his minion adhered to the protocol for checking funds in the company bank account and the bank told him the funds were there, then the banks were in no small part complicit in the cock up.

M

Colour me surprised

When they only release something in the US and Canada then they are bound to have crippled sales. I live in the UK and I wouldn't mind having one but FFS! North America only?

Skype Digger (Remix)

They take my gmail - when I'm in need

Yeah they're rifling through, myspace indeed

Oh they are skype diggers - way over town

That digs on me.....

I have been to Calgary Zoo...

And I too, felt like the poor goat it was that bad.

RIP Goaty.
