sounds like they just fingered users they knew

we used to finger each other all the time at uni... i dunno, kids today, etc...

Not just Apple

My wife was ordering a dozen charms online from Thomas Sabo, and they decided that they wanted scans of bank statements, passport etc. When my wife kicked up a stink & said that they had delivered to her before, using the same payment method and delivery address, they relented and sent out the order...

Any company sending out untraceable goods need to be extra cautious against potential fraud, as the card company WILL put a chargeback on them and they will be the ones that lose out, not the end customer, and certainly not the bank. I think the banks need to put some additional measures in place so that the company contacts the bank for proof of address or whatever, and if the bank decide that the address doesn't match, it is the bank that contacts the customer for any proofs. Then and only then does the bank release the funds to the vendor, who sends out the goods.

That won't happen though, because the BUNCH OF BANKERS that run the banks wouldn't make as much money!

ummmmm

shouldn't they be giving directions as to how to *un*install the software?

So...

...you will need to run a proprietry app on your device, and point the camera at the screen, and hope that the reflection from the window doesn't mess it up?

Why not just use a QR code, then?

Or Chirp, which uses audio and thus doesn't have the issues with reflections?

Shakespeare subs....

I'm fairly certain that and a couple of the other "Bluray only" extras are on my DVD version of the film....

A bit late to the game...

It seems as though half of twitter already live-tweet during shows such as Britain's Got Talent, so the social aspect of watching TV hasn't gone away, and unless all your social circle are using the Orange app, no-one will - another chicken&egg situation that Orange would need to surmount!

I disagree....

The Teac *does* sound abysmal. We tested it against a similair styled Sony and the Sony sounded a million times better.

But why no Denon Ceol / Marantz 603(?) / Sony G2 series? Have auditioned these all recently for myself and ended up with the G2BNIP (ie DAB and AirPlay/Wifi) as the Marantz and Denon both took the best part of a week to start playing from an iPhone once it was plugged in.

If they have any sense....

this will be disabled if the parking brake is deactivated.

Like I said, if they have any sense......

Issue with the screengrabs?

Both appear to show the same thing; suspect the one purporting to show the prices hasn't been correctly linked to!

Whether it's iOS or Android...

Anything using "private" data (GPS, contacts, SMS database, etc) should have to request permissions for each item individually, not in an "all or nothing" approach. You should be able to e.g. block GPS from FaceBook but keep it for Twitter if you so wish, without having to opt to not install any particular app.

The problem you end up having is you can have a request saying "Allow app access to address book?" with a "Yes" or "No" but then you need to ensure you have the "Remember this for next time?" checkbox, as well as a way to revoke these permissions at a later date if you foolishly opt in to giving your data to FaceBook now but then want it taken away in future...

And then you get another problem. If I revoke permissions on the app on my phone, I want that communicated back to FaceBook so that they delete all the data they have slurped previously. How long before that actually starts happening? Or will they insist that once you have provided that data, tough?

We were hit by this on Thursday evening, around 630-7pm. Thought it was due to the snow we were having, or due to the fact that Sky's systems were being upgraded at the time. When Sky's service status page started up again the next day, they reported it as being an ongoing issue outside of their control. Around lunchtime they added the fact that it was down to cable theft. We finally got our broadband back at around 4am on Saturday morning...

Home automation is nice in theory

but in practice, having to replace all of your light switches and power sockets with (for example) PLN capable ones would be bad enough, let alone having to make sure that they were branded by your choice of fruit or robot to ensure compatibility...

But the technology side is all overpriced crap!

and the sales droids try selling you £50 HDMI cables!

Using OpenDNS already, and no typing the IP in directly does not work...

Tor works, which completely sidesteps any blocks.

Surely....

If current warranty terms mean that for every five drives they make, they sell four and keep one in reserve, and these new terms mean they keep one from every ten drives made, then this is just a way of them putting more drives in to the channel at a time when reserves are low & prices are high?

I got better 3G signal in the middle of nowhere in third world asian backwaters than I did at home in a commuter town 30mins from London KX.

Two pages of good advice....

But no answer to the age old question of how many pages should your cv cover?

Is three or four pages of *relevant* experience & technologies overkill? Is a one or two page summary going to get you binned because you just mention where you worked & for how long?

How many distinct sources does this support?

I currently have seven distinct inputs in to my Onkyo, and as the Marantz supports audio return over HDMI I would consider this an eighth that I would need! From looking at the picture of the back I can easily envisage twelve inputs into this, so what does the software actually support?

"It’s the plot that makes this came a classic" - game, surely? Surely the plot wasn't *that* exciting?

So much for net neutrality then!

BT decided that "your" IOS5 data was less important than "my" Forza 4 data, and thus prioritised my traffic over yours? How do you like them apples?

*cough* damned *cough*
