Yeah sure guy, we'll all call it whatever you say.................................................lol jk, not really, GIF GIF GIF GIF GIF GIF

I am a PC repair guy (among other things), and I still won't set up your smegging iFad, and certainly not for free in my spare time.

If cash money is offered I might consider it, but that's pretty rare, for some reason people see technical assistance as something they deserve just for knowing me in the most vague manner.

Even taking payment for a job is risky, as people then expect a lifetime of support to be paid for by the thirty quid or whatever they paid for an hours work.

I don't really like his stuff, but I think I'll steal it and pass on a few copies for the sake of it now.

If too many people drop their phones while using it, it might end up being a flash in the pan.

just a dumb kid doing dumb kid things, hardly a danger to the public worthy of the costs of a bloody police investigation.

Plod really likes a nice soft target though, they'll probably CS gas him while they're "investigating" just to make it worth the visit.

At last, this is the sort of tech that I identify with living in a post 2000AD world!

Make it happen and I may well turn rabid google fanboy for life.

All I want to know on behalf of us thickie non scientists is....

are we any closer to either plasma rifles or lightsabres today than we were yesterday?

Whatever muppet in the CPS that decided this was a worthwhile case to spunk money on should be taken out back and shot.

And I would like the court to note that I am not volunteering to do that myself!

enough in profits to make Solomon blush, but he's just not blushing deeply enough!

My heart bleeds.

Whatever "cool" may or may not be, it's not decided by a gowned and wigged old geezer in any court, of any land.

I like that prior art has been noted in this case, Apple may have been the first to get it right and have a hit with the form factor, but it was not nearly the first to try it.

I dread to think what kind of pocket money my padawan would expect before I saw any of these on fathers day.

hur dur sexual assault lol

Never mind fancy thrust, weight or wingspan calculations, it was the Wildfire S part that did it for me :D

Good riddance

Someone call Karl Pilkington, this is a job for Bullshit Man.

Suppose it's not that surprising, he's always been a bit (okay a lot) of a douche if you look back at how he treated his Elite/Frontier associates.

Publishers are lucky we are still buying games at all, in a world where every other industry is vying for your hard earned with better and better deals, videogame merchants seem to think there is still room to keep squeezing.

Last new release I picked up was Star Wars: The Old Republic just before Christmas, where knowing it was days till Santa would be loading up his sleigh and that they had a very hot game on their hands I was lightened of £45 for a copy by "Game", well over the odds for a PC game and I'd probably think twice before spending that on a console game either.....add a monthly sub in there and you have the answer to why I never usually go near new release games. I'd been waiting a long time so this was a massive exception to my usually cast iron rule of not buying till the price drops.......which has nothing to do with the pre-owned scene and everything to do with not enjoying getting shafted.

What does Dave even think we're spending our trade in "fortunes" on if not more games?!? Has anyone pointed him at GOG.com either? A whole site of games so worth the asking price that I am paying all over again decades after release you say? No sales past the first week you say? Selling shit and expecting me to eat it I say!

Oh I don't trade in games anyway, it's another massive rip off scam of the retailers....however as a kid I depended on trading in or outright swaps to fund my habit (back when shops were indie and knew your name and gave a toss about whether you came back next week or not).

wow, I take it they're not smartphones then? No point owning one of those if you don't have a toilet to sit on.

Amazon have nothing to worry about, it wasn't the last wish of a dying man that they should be destroyed at any cost.

And if you don't have a BBC accent straight from the 1900's, you're saying it wrong too.

It's been pretty hilarious watching my companies middle managers try Siri out for the first time so far.

Evi on the other hand understands what I'm saying extremely well, although it still hasn't been able to comply with a single request for me yet.

I think all the voice functions out there need a bit longer in the oven.....not I'd ever use them in public, I'd rather be caught trous down and hands full than be caught talking TO my phone :D
