dual booting netbooks?

One would guess that the netbooks coming up will most likely be dual boot ones with Google's Chrome OS for fast booting and safe websurfing (with no local storage beyond caching, presumably in RAM not much chance of being infected) and win 7 for the times you need more than a browser.

does the GM hero..

run using the android OS as well?

Surely...

All Palm Pre owners have to do is not update iTunes?

Its only a constant unwinable battle..

If pre users keep on upgrading itunes.

If the current version does what they want, including syncing with their pre, then why should they upgrade to 9.whatever when they know it will only add one or two pointless new features but will block the use of their pre?

New Aston Advert

Man gets in Aston Martin

Man drives for 3 seconds

Man arrives as destination

Small text at bottom of screen says "Some Roads removed and drive shortened. Road speeds may vary."

I'm with the 'whot no buttons' crowd

Apple need to realise there is a big difference between a device that plays music and can play the occasional interesting games and a dedicated games handheld. Given the choice between a DS or PSP for gaming against the touch I would choose the former everytime.

Looks like

A failed entry in a competition to reconstruct a car from its parts whilst blindfolded.

"The dark days of Windows mediocrity are coming to an end."

Indeed, I believe its only a few weeks until we get windows 7 :)

Surely a playmobile montage

featuring Pirates and Cowboys must appear soon..?

All ad's show things in best light, ISP no different.

No point in complaining about the speed in ISP adds as then you could start saying things like...

"Why is it always sunny in holiday ad's when we know if often rains?"

or

"Why are there never any long queues in supermarket ad's?"

etc, etc...

Every advert shows the product being advertised in its best possible light. People appear to accept this for just about everything else so I don't see why ISP ad's should be any different.

Probably

A cool well designed explosion though!

Otto von Guericke's Magdeburg hemispheres?

How about using a (suitably scaled down) set of these?

Just put the weight of the plane on the end of one, put it in your chamber and fine tune the vacuum level you would need between them to get separation?

@samo, recalibrate the screen

Settings -> Locate & text -> Touch input -> Text input -> Calibration tool.

Strange coincidence

That they announce this the same day that Virgin Media start adding some more HD channels?

Anyway given what they can broadcast in 3D you will get:

Sport

A few 3D films.

Until there is more significant prerecorded 3D content that will be it for quite a while. You can get TV companies to record things in HD because its a replacement camera and they can downgrade to SD when needed. How many content providers will feel the need to go to 3D HD camera with all the related production problems? I would guess not many till there is a large enough market.

Do you think Mr Branson would mind...

If you called it Vulture Galactic Paper Plane 1

As pointed out by the guardian..

The police where doing the politician thing of answering a different question to what was asked.

The question asked was:

Was the wholesale 'hacking' of phones being done by many journalists at NOTW affecting 1000's of people.

The answer from the Met went out of its way to only mention the two people charged. Even then we have the strange situation of the NOTW royal correspondent on one hand being tagged as 'the only bad penny' while the police admit that the PI hacked celebs, politicians and sports people. Now unless he was moonlighting on the side in other parts of NOTW why did he request those hacks and if he did not who did?

Thank to reading your review

I have ordered myself an HTC Hero running Android.

Never mind "Keep your distance Child onboard"

A sign in the back window saying:

"Keep your distance, 5,000 psi H2 tank on-board"

Should keep the tailgater back a few more feet.

Or...

They could just licence the patent like they should have done in the first place???
