Probably subscription only

I'm going to guess that Office mobile will only work if you've gone for the subscription version of Office.

Skydrive

I'm just using Skydrive at the moment to share out photos with a few friends. No matter what online service you use to share & store your photos, it's always a sensible idea to keep your own offline backups.

.home is not going to be much use for some people. BT home hub overrides the .home domain.

It's a shame they are not moving the shopping channels to a separate range.

Only certain types of date of bitth work as a pin.

If it's ddmm then only Oct, Nov & Dec with the day >=10 work.

If it's dmyy then only Jan-Sept with day <= 9 work.

How does everyone else with a birthday that doesn't fit those parameters decide what to put in their pin?

Ha

why are all those people all moaning about the ribbon interface? It can be bidden & I bet most of those posting on the Windows blog don't even use the current toolbar on explorer. Most of them probably use the keyboard shortcuts so won't make an difference to them.

Where the ribbon will be reall useful if for all those occasional users, rather than having a crypic toolbar of icons, they will have some text which will help them to workout what they need to use.

OTS

Did you see how many font bugs the OTS font sanitizing library fixes on the OSX version. (See blocks section on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=527276).

No fart apps

That's a shame.

Payment history used for targetted advertising?

All that payment history will be useful for even more targeted advertising delivered directly to you on your mobile phone.

Windows or Linux will do

Some Windows servers or Linux servers with Samba and the some client software such as Dave would do instead of Xserve if all you are doing is using it as a file server.

External Boxes

Eventually, there will be no need for external boxes as all the functionality will be built directly into each TV. So even less of a need for Apple TV.

Jedikiah

There's always Jedikiah who appeared in the Tomorrow People TV series in 1973, slightly ahead of the Star Wars film

multiple cards

How does it decide which card to use if you've got more than one in your wallet?

PDF Viewer

I'd like to see Microsoft produce a free PDF viewer. At least it would more secure than Adobe's version!

thecounter.com stats

If you look at thecounter.com stats, they are for hits between 1 Feb 2008 & today. So they are a little historic.

Thaking the total figures for each month & doing a few calculations given the following %ages.

IE 7 44.4%

IE 6 26.7%

Firefox 20.5%

Prime Computer Ads

There's some Prime Computer adverts that you can see on one of the Doctor Who DVD's.
