In Apple's 'latest creation' debuts January 27

Troll

Well, with the amount of pre-hype this has generated so far, if it doesn't actually read my mind I'm going to be disapointed.

In Apple iPod Touch 3G

FAIL

@anonymous sony fanboi.

I've had a good look at my PSP. It hasn't got a camera. It hasn't got GPS.

If you're refering to the expensive add-ons, well then my arse can have a camera and GPS if you buy a couple of add-ons and a little duct tape.

You can do comparitive ads  

In Ads watchdog bows to iPhone's might

Headmaster

Anonymous coward said "These should have been outlawed in the UK because you aren't allowed to do directly comparative advertising"

Not so, the law was changed a few years back (hence the Tesco has this many vs asda/sainsbury/lidl has this many adverts on the TV)

Conspiraloons aren't suseptible to mere facts  

In NASA orbiter returns first shots of Apollo moon sites

Grenade

Actual facts don't make any impact on the true conspiraloon. To do it properly you need a well developed victim complex plus not enough brain to diffeneciate science from bullshit.

Local generation vs national grid  

In Audi working on electric R8?

Go

Dai, you're forgetting about the inefficiencies of power transmisson. Much of the power generated is lost heating up the wires on pylons and substations. Local generation is often more efficent.

I'll take mine with a flux capacitor fitted,

The eugenic solution  

In Gov spunks hundreds of thousands on mobe condom clip

Gates Horns

1 chemical in all clothing from JJB sports, another chemical in all Greggs produce. If you eat a steak bake whilest wearing a tracksuit you get sterilesd for a month.

That way, all the charvers could rut away with their cousins to their hearts content without dirtying up the genepool.

For gods sake  

In Amazon's 'Kindle 2' spotted in the wild

Unhappy

Amazon, you have access to one or two books, take a look at them. You'll find that, in most cases, the text isn't surrounded by a huge, white, plastic case.

Also, if you must stick a keyboard on there, make it a slider or detachable. Duh. If you want an effective E-book, it should be as close to being all screen as possible.

@Mark Manderson  

In McKinnon loses extradition fight

"Err you ever seen JUST how much £ we owe the US of A for their "help" in WWI and WW2"
