Cheers.

That was entertaining, but how bloody old do I feel now?

Eh?

Wasn't the whole point of twitter originally that you could use it via SMS? I know nobody does anymore, but isn't that functionality still there?

Yeah

Seems silly to bet a fortune on a business model that could be wiped out by something as simple as more people adopting Adblock.

Ick.

Nothing is less attractive than desperation.

Good article

There is *always* going to be someone needing some kind of bespoke widget.

Wrong.

My SO ran a small biz for 10 years and had online ordering presence. Proved to be a complete pain in the arse, as you'd spend all your time packing and posting £10 orders to individuals instead of concentrating on the big buyers where the £££ is.

Selling online is great if you're a cottage industry with another day job. For a real small business trying to ship physical product, it's a luxury.

Transparent Aluminium!

There be whales here, Captain.

Dr Who = kids TV

To summarise for the Dads: Karen has better legs, but the new one (forgotten already) appears to have bigger tits.

That is all. You can go back to your proper Sci-Fi now.

All this is probably true.

But I'd prefer to be paid a little less and remain a decent human being.

In order to get a public contract

You first have to prove you don't need it. True.

listen bitch....

It's a God. Damn. MARATHON!!!!

OK??

Correction.

Crusade was saved by the presence of Big Tam

" I should have mailed it to the Marksh brothersh."

Ummm...

From the picture, I'm estimating about 50%-ish loss since 1980. I'm no expert, but I was alive in 1980. Can't say I've noticed any material changes in the climate, atmosphere, weather, drinking water etc in that time.

(Except it were all fields about here, of course.)

Look, Ford...

stop pissing about with this boring stuff and get on with the new Puma you've been promising for years.

Numbers and/or letters

Might use it. Might not. Certainly won't if it proves a pain in the arse, facebook's simply not worth going through any kind of learning curve for.

All very interesting...

...assuming you're in your own house with a LAN connection through a router to outside. But how do you stop a smart phone over 3G?

wrist-slapped

..but the enormous corporate beamer can't be pleasant. Mind you, it's certainly the funniest thing ITV have done for decades.

"...internet outfits that collect and retain data about their customers will be required to explain why it is necessary to hold such information on their databases."

"But if we don't spy on our users, we won't know what crap to flog them, our business model goes tits-up, our company collapses and lots of people lose their jobs!"

"Ah. Carry on then! Incidentally, thank you for your recent tax contribution. "

Okay

That's fucking ridiculous.

Not to worry.

Pretty sure there'll be a (cough) reboot along presently.

This is starting to piss me off.

Apps/sites/devices that attempt to read my mind and guess what I want. You DO NOT f**ing know what I want. 80% of the time you are not even close. Wait until I have finished telling you, then do what I ask, you stupid bloody machine. That is ALL you have to do.

Case in point: ending up with 4 entries for everyone on your phone because it thinks you want to synch with every halfwit you vaguely know on twitter/hotmail/facebook. Excuse me, when the fuck did I ask you to do that?

Ho hum.

Could be the straw that breaks the camel's back IMHO. I've barely used Farceboak at all since that last half-arsed "upgrade". Not that it can't be mildly diverting (some of my friends in distant places are quite funny), but it's just not important enough for me to be arsed with the inconvenience of figuring out all the new shit every time it changes.

If you want me to use this, don't piss me off. I can quite easily do without.
