Megan Fox exits Transformers 3

Ben Rosenthal

Go-Bots

I got bought one of those as a present once, needless to say the errant relative was cast out like some wrong merchandise buying leper!

although I secretly used to watch them too >.<

Ben Rosenthal

if every single person

involved in the previous two left, then and only then might I consider doing anything but snorting in derision at it merest mention.

I hope I didn't sound too bitter there, I held back all I could!

Newzbin goes titsup

what benefit...

I prefer to be as locked down and have as many hurdles in place as possible to any unauthorised access but am always open to strange new ideas.

this very silly affair makes CPS and Judicial system look like blithering idiots at best and darkly malicious blithering idiots at worst.

re: Erm?

I'm taking that as a threat, see you in court (this is not a threat!).

Apple prices up iPad for UK

Ben Rosenthal

can I have some...

from Stevo's personal stash? That is some really good shit!

iPad users are young, rich geeks

Ben Rosenthal

lol

Why should anyone be jealous? It's not some new Ferrari creation being made in severely limited numbers, sold only to the elite few, it's a mass produced toy sold openly on the high street.

Serious Apple people are very odd!

Ben Rosenthal

re: Well blow me!

I'll just stick with nodding and agreeing for now, you've not even tried to get me drunk >.<

Virgin Media deletes customers

Ben Rosenthal

par for the course

with these clowns, they left my ex and her child with no service at all for almost two months due to exactly this sort of cock up.

Jobsian drones shackle gamer with 'lifetime' iPad ban

Ben Rosenthal

much as I....

hate the cult of fruit more with every passing day they do sort of have a point here, he was actually exporting them to overseas customers without permission (for profit or not is not relevant).

I really want to be on the customers side, but really I can't this time around.

I'm off for a cup of tea and a lie down after that horrific experience, please do not make me side with Apple ever again >.< :D

Official: Apple iPhone is a chick magnet

Ben Rosenthal

are you sure

they're not saying iPhone and meaning smart phone or touchscreen?

most "normals" will easily mistake any old bit of touchscreen tat for a Jesus phone, they wouldn't know a HSDPA connection if it slipped them a rohypnol.

Wii Fit fall woman turns into nympho

"better personal hygiene too!"

I'll have to stop you there as I actually have a more time consuming and expensive morning grooming regime than any female I have dated since I started a decade and a half ago

Ben Rosenthal

being told off by Ms Bee

would have me stiff as a board tbh

Microsoft slams coffin lid on Vista

Ben Rosenthal

bah

caught out by the service packs bit, will stick with Vista for home use and XP for business in that case.

We've tried the newer two but had too many incompatibilities (and yes we're fully patched up where patches are available due to requirements for PCI compliance).

Both Vista and Win 7 work fine for me for personal use though, not stunning, but no major issues at all either.

Ben Rosenthal

upgrading to Win 7 in that case

but they can whistle if they think I'm paying for it!

Wikifounder reports Wikiparent to FBI over 'child porn'

Ben Rosenthal

re: http://www.larrysanger.org/ReplyToSlashdot.html

"Many people who criticized my message to the FBI really seem to have a problem with the law, which I find interesting"

I find people who DON'T have issues with laws that are badly thought out and implemented interesting.

Just to clarify, we are talking about crude depictions of things that did not actually take place to people that do not actually exist. No matter how distasteful the subject matter, this is essentially thought crime.

Ben Rosenthal

Mike Godwin

wouldn't want to get into a forum fight with him!!!

anyway, can't chat, off for a quick wiki wank >.< :D

Mandybill enters pre-election wash-up

Ben Rosenthal

Mme.Mynkoff

after all you've heard and seen, you still trust NuLab enough to either be happy giving them even more sweeping, arbitrary powers of social control, or to not read what they are so eager to have no opposition to?

I don't consider myself a freetard, but would rather be grouped with them than just be an actual IRL tard.

Brown's website as mad as he is

Ben Rosenthal

sir bonar

twitter.com/sirbonar

it's stories like this that have me confused over the above, spoof or not?

On the one hand it keeps making total crackpot statements, on the other the old .gov types are being pretty damn crackpot IRL at the moment :/

HTC Legend

Ben Rosenthal

not sure

about buying another HTC after the lack of updates for the Hero (even though I'm loving the MoDaCo Custom ROM it pushed me towards).

Really is a great phone now it's been updated a little, but very disappointing to have to go to an external source for it and lose my warranty.

Man could face prison over six second 'extreme porn' clip

Ben Rosenthal

Keith T

you can be assured that I was but jesting, rather than trying to formulate a water tight case.

For I have nothing to hide and don't eat Frosties ;D

Ben Rosenthal

off to relabel my C: drive

as "DELETED ITEMS" :D

just in case I do get sent anything offending of course, for I am as pure as the driven snow.

Heathrow security man cops perv scanner eyeful

Hah

so to sum this up, humans are still very much governed by their sex drives, and Britain is governed by a load of lying, corrupt, incompetent, numpties.

Well isn't that fantastic, bring on the forced labour in prisons!

I do think they're batsh*t crazy in these Islamic states. But the law is the law in these places, if you don't agree, don't bloody go there!

Apple yanks Wi-Fi detectors from iTunes

Ben Rosenthal

well

that does sound a bit too serious for a rich kids toy.

Best if it sticks to farting and burping.

Hero update blocks Marketplace

Ben Rosenthal

Orange

never seem to be aware of ANY issues with their systems and services.

I can safely say that when my Hero contract runs out, I will be looking to jump ship to a company that while not fault free (because they don't exist), at least know what day of the sodding week it is (and can bill me on any of them that I require, rather than when suits them).
