I don't even know what my pin code is, my fingers follow a pattern that I can perform while very drunk and without my glasses. Online banking is a pain in the arse, because they jumble the numbers on the site.

Pattern recognition good idea, but if you watch the person put in the numbers I'm sure you could deduce which straight line or box of numbers they were picking from.

I knew about the Drop bear story before an Aussie friend of mine stated telling me about it.

After quietly listening to the story while drinking my beer. I said.

"I've heard of the Drop Bear before, evidently it is the number one killer of Australian cowboys, you see the saddle is way up high on the kangaroos back and that makes them an easier target".

Nose full of Guiness.

And what protection from radiation does that provide?

I've just got my daughter intrested in lego.. I think I might be helping her a lot christmas morning.

SFR in France have sim based authentication to wifi, it tries to off load the 3g data onto wifi that you are automatically logged into. However the surfing speed of this shared wifi is slower than 3g.

There are apps that will remember your login credentials for free wifi and automatically log you on. I use it extensivly while stood at the bus stop outside macdonalds.

Well I know of something that won't go down well.

DateTime fileDate = DateTime.Now;

Assert.IsTrue(fileDate.CompareTo(new DateTime(2012, 12, 21)) <= 0 && fileDate.CompareTo(DateTime.MinValue) > 0);

I've been using the upper limit of DateTime unit tests as 2012-12-21 for years now. Guess I will have to pick a new doomsday date..

shortDateTime 2079-06-06

Although that seems a little far off, how about the time of Roys death?

Thursday at 3pm ?

It's beero'clock.

Well that f**ks up gmail.

Good move google, I can't access Google docs from work. How exactly am I supposed to get my timesheet each month?

I ditched Blackberry ( after 5 phones )

Because of the days of outage last year, if you don't have a connection to the BB servers and a contract with them payed by your phone provider then you can't surf the web, or pick up mail.

I have an Iphone 5 now because RIM's service is just terrible.

In the event of a natural disaster,

The FCC want's a reliable communication service that reroutes around broken nodes and doesn't depend on one single node. So that In the event of a nuclear war, generals can get access to high quality p*rn **.

How exactly are they going to implement a hurricane, earthquake and volcano proof radio mast, that usually sits on top of buildings that are not as secure. And of course there will be the problem of power, how long do they expect a small UPS to stay alive?

** joke by Three Dead Trolls.

orange is too expensive

For the people who use facebook regularly to pay the contracts. Can't see this working, and I doubt that many people will like the idea of FT (orange) knowing all about thier friends either.

To me it seems doomed to failure.

well.

As my GF doesn't post photos and hardly ever updates her status, seems that I am on my own and the GF is ficticious. <insert geek joke here>. but she does exist, really she does just check facebook.com/us .. er right ok.

UK is in the wrong place to have a space port.

you need extensive western downrange airspace to be able to get into orbit.

Do they expect these fictional spaceplanes to fly out into the atlantic then turn around and fly against the spin of the earth?

If they flew west from the UK, I'm sure Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Denmark would have objections.

Speed of Sheep in a Vacuum?

Very well done,

Street View.

So does this mean that there won't be street view on Iphone? can you still get to it via the web?

if that's the case, I might get a 4s instead of a 5 when it comes out.

Every afternoon this week, I've typed

"Facebook Share Price" into google, and it's bought a smile to my face.

it's the little things that count.

and now Beer time.

Overheard in the Lift one day.

"Why do we employ IT they don't bring in profits when they just cost money?"

This is sadly the way business is, unless it's a problem and you can fix it they don't want to know.

From IT Crowd:

Roy: "Define hit it off?"

Moss: "Did you continue the conversation after you fixed her problem?"

Roy: "No, and she rested a cup on my back!"

Rims +

BBM

Secure Push EMAIL that works

Robust Handsets (excluding touch versions)

Rims -

OS 6+ (too flakey and too slow)

No support, No technical information for building apps.

Shitty touch screen phones

Conclusions

Dump the custom OS, write the Email applications for android and add BBM.

Result

Beer.

In my youth, I was once cautioned for doing 60mph+ going down hill. These days I'm lucky if I can cart my bulk at much faster than a walk.

I blame it on the beer.

Unhackable

I was completely hooked until the 8GB memory card, then I checked to see if it was April yet.
