Five million bucks?!

And Americans wonder why people outside think their legal system is a joke...

Scrub it again! Scrub it again!

I'm gonna be on a beach on the Florida/Georgia border a fortnight from now and I've always wanted to see a shuttle launch...

Requires a restart

I trust that is of the browser, not the entire OS?! Or have Apple gone down the IE4/5/6 road of tying the browser so closely to the OS that you can't even change the font settings without a reboot???

Where's the Stop and then Go icon?

Prior Art

That would be a magazine then, you know, where articles are just occasionally interspersed with adverts?

@GeorgeTuk

Erm. The 2010 *Winter* Olympics are being held in Vancouver. The 2012 *Summer* Olympics are in London. Although to be fair, your point still stands!

About 3 seconds in, the building on the other side of the street after the men jump out of the SUV has "Los Angeles Bank" written on the side.

Besides, for Apple to approve a GTA game for sale, it would have to be toned down to the level of My Little Pony.

Somebody really should have thought this thing through a bit more...

Yay! New icon usage

I mean, really, what a f***ing stupid idea...

There's a surprise...

It was never going to last, was it?

I have to wonder what would have been their response to anyone under the age of 70 who answered the demand with "None."

Sue them!

Even though the details are being handed over 'voluntarily', it's still unauthorised access of a protected computer system. Isn't that a felony in the US?

Honestly, the fuckwit who came up with this idea should be made to hand over all his login details too. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Re: News website

Bloody annoyed about it myself...

Independence

The problem with uSwitch is that a lot of people believe their truly independent or even government run. They really should be forced to declare their interests more obviously to the users, not hidden away on an 'about us' page that nobody will ever see.
