"a Kindle-style Qwerty keypad." so a complete step back 5 years then....come on, the future of these type of devices is a touch screen not a iggly piggly type-with-a-cocktail-stick keyboard.....the kindle looks like a gcse design project by a one eyed lizard (called keith)...move on people....

Ballmer will not appear at Apple conference

richard 69
Jobs Halo

you're pulling my plonker...

your argument makes sense but it's the sight of monkey boy ballmer on stage that would be bad for apple. having the huge mug of silly billy up there all those years ago was bad enough, but apple were in the shit then....

i just think, although it makes sense and google is now THE threat, it would be a bad publicity image to have monkey boy on apple's stage.

6Music in numbers

try 6 music

it's a superb station, and shows the arrogance of the bbc by wanting to kill it. the variey of music is great. try it for a week. and i did like george lamb even though his music knowledge is poor, he's a great entertainer on the radio but shite on the telly.

Apple said to order 24 million iPhone 4Gs

richard 69
Jobs Halo

you're not getting it..

apple have always been a bunch of shits, they've always treated their customers like shite, but apple are like the hot girl at school that spoke to you like shite and laughed at your hair - you still can't stop thinking she's hot and you're dieing to speak to her.....that's apple. us fanboys still go back every time....

also "the common knowledge I have heard" and then "if they had somewhere in the 25%-50% failure range." so if that common knowledge or not?

richard 69
Jobs Halo

just to correct you

"freeze regularly" - err simply no.

"cannot be used outside in daylight" - i use mine in the outdoors all the time, not just in the burger shop.

"have a gazillion useless apps" - you do realise that you can download the apps that you actually want/need? the phone doesn't come with a gazillion apps, and you can delete.

"touchscreen tech which quite simply is a nightmare to use at least 50% of the time" - ok, now you're being daft. have you actually used one? or are your fingers too podgy from the burgers?

"they are buggy bits of sucky kit" - they are not perfect, but what is? they fulfill a need. go buy a proper one, use it, enjoy it, relax, think about more salads.....

webster for prime minister...

the drooling old fool could do a great job in parliament - dragging his club foot through the dark corridors, drooling over the IT departments sandwiches and throwing his own excrement at the pigeons on the roof......what a guy...he's actually working on his own iphone app, but doesn't like to talk about it....

no html 5 on macs?

you really think that jobs will block html 5 on macs? really?

i actually use apps much more now than a browser, and really some sort of app/widget is the future for the web, not a browser.

apple make most of their money from hardware, the app store is a piss in the ocean.

ipod sales down? - re-read please

i believe it says that ipod touch sales are up 63%, so no, people don't buy iphones instead of ipods - both products sell to different markets.

i hate ebay as much as the rest but can they really be accountable for every single piece of tat on there?

is it really their fault if someone sneaks fake jewellery on there?

they do try and get rid of the fake stuff......actually they are a bunch of over charging tied-into-paypay fuckers so screw 'em....they should be made to pay...

9200

hmm, i've had my 9200 for 3 years and had to re-boot maybe 4 times....if you have a weaker signal and/or poor signal quality it may be getting stuck, but seriously it's a great piece of kit. an hd version would now be superb.

2 questions then...

will it be compressed (ruined) to fuck like standard definition on freeview?

will it end up full of hd versions of sell-me-shite-bid-tv/bid-me-shite-tv/bid-upanddown-crap-bollox-i want to murder those presenters?

thanks.

Opera Mini hits iTunes, awaits Apple verdict

yep

you're a genius after all. of course apple will allow somebodys else's browser to run flash on their device. what was i thinking.

you're right about the eu as well, they always use their extensive powers in thorough and exacting ways, to make life better for the people who pay their wages.

i will never make gobshite comments again and will continue to bow down to your infinite wisdom. you really should apply for IT manager of the whole of the UK, you'd easily get the job.

i shall now crawl under a rock with my ipod touch and get ready to pay my money on the app store for a shiny, new browser. excellent.

he is simon cowells publicist..

cowell needs the sun/NOTW to promote his tv programmes. it's a shame clifford didn't have the balls to let it go to court but his business interests have come first. so the 'journalists' have got away with it. again.

Tories ask: Why BBC3, BBC4?

richard 69

sorry you are wrong

my friend works for the architects involved. trust me, it is in case of a terror strike in london. if bbc london was struck, as least national broadcasting could continue from manchester.

ww2 was quite some time ago, the technology has moved on....

richard 69
Grenade

psst....do you know why they're moving to salford?

the real reason that some of the bbc departments and resources are going to salford is in case of a terrorist strike on london.....at least they can't wipe out the whole of the government controlled media.

and bbc3/bbc4 should be scrapped and just take the best bits for bbc2.

BBC confirms death of 6Music, slashes online budget by a quarter

Thumb Down

one word - fucking idiots!

6 music really is a gem, and i loved george lamb although he is wrong for that station.

listen to 6 while you can, it really goes from one genre to another. so many times i've heard an old (great and obscure) classic that you'de never hear on the other stations or tin pot local radio..

george lamb for pm!

love 6 music, it's genuinely refreshing to listen to.

why not get rid of 1extra, bbc7(!) and combine bbc4 with bbc2 to get bbc2 to a higher quality again.

oh, and £112M to run the bbc website - eh?

Apple iPhone tops 2009 smartphone sales

richard 69
WTF?

your point....pointless

eh?

let's look at the evidence.

24m iphone OS's in use does not equal 24m iphones sold as the ipod touch also uses the iphone OS.

that's it.

simple.

finish.

richard 69

ipod touch?

runs the iphone os.

so surely that's included in the os figures?

so it's not 24M iphones sold?

anyone?

Argentinians invade Falkland Islands website

richard 69
IT Angle

it was always about oil..

the uk and argentine governments have known for decades that there's a good chance of finding oil under the islands. that is why they invaded and we defended in 1982.

going to war over oil is not anything new.

what's most amusing is some of the south american countries backing up argentina, they really need to think before they speak. mexico in particular.

the only thing to really kill macs in my 10 years experience has been fonts. yes dodgy fonts kill macs. big time. flash just runs like shite. but apple are making a mistake if they think they can just ignore it.
