Reliability??
Been hearing reports of early failure of SSDs- they just fail with no warning as well. Just a bad batch? I've not yet heard of any method of data recovery from a failed SSD. I'm not ready to write off SATAs just yet
Bad Business Model
---NetSuite's revenue for 2012 was up 30 per cent year on year to $308.82m, although it made a net loss of $35.23m, slipping slightly further into the red from 2011's $32m loss. Salesforce's revenue for the year ended 31 January 2013 was $3bn, up 35 per cent year on year, although it made a loss of $270m, surpassing the previous 12 months' $11m loss.--
Have these companies made a profit on previous years?? Wil the bubble burst in the next dotcom crash??
Another Operation
maybe when having his hair done he should have his hands reduced to Porn Star size. These make 'objects' held appear bigger than they are
Re: Don't believe it
Or convince the shareholders the the Mickey D offer is the only one going. For a 'consultancy fee' of course

Will we be able to get the thermal/UV filters and the shoulder-mounted plasma cannon??

That was only a ranging shot. One long, one short and then Footfall will hit its intended target

Re: Best part of the game
It could happen for 3/4 of a F1 race an no-one would notice, just keep showing the same lap over and over again.
TV Advert
Good, we won't get to see Richard in those stupid adverts. Or maybe it can take the GoCompare route and save the nation from him.

New Process
They could make the factory in a decommisioned military base, make the snakes grow to giant size and super intelligent before extracting the venom. What could possibly go wrong??

New Job
Another ex-member of the RBS IT Team surfaces with a new job.
Sorry, used that joke before, getting my coat now
Probable Outcome
I can see this being settled out of court. I assume Bruce can afford to hire top class lawyers that would give Apple a run for their money and I'm sure they wouldn't want to set a precedent if they lost.
Puzzled
Just who is buying these shares now the price has plunged? Are they expecting a rally on the price or just getting razor thin margins when selling on?
Trouble Brewing ...
... if the team leader says 'We're gonna need a bigger buoy!'

Looks like the IT guy from RBS soon got a new job then.
Special Effects
No,no, aliens are humanoid with a few extra bits on the head. If aliens really look like this then the CGI budgets will go through the roof.
Had she just watched the film Monsters?
Content
Surely with BigBrother/Batchelor/ Celebrity/ X Factor /BGT et al the adverts are far more entertaining than the program content

Re: Is zero-G industry really a cash cow?
Probably has more serious interest than asteroid mining and look how much has been speculated on that

Would the numbers be much different if the survey was for compulsive Facebook/Twitter/Casino use?

Does that mean Chuck Bartowski will have to work full time for the CIA/NSA? Sorry, thats Buy More and the Nerd Herd
Re: I like the way...
Maybe the vacuum to fill is a wireless DVD drive that sits in a large enclosure that looks like 20 leather bound books on a shelf? Impressive to look at, easy to update AND cheaper and more eco friendly that actual books.
Excuse me whilst I go out to the patent office

Any guesses to the response level to the question 'Are the manufacturers forcing you to buy gadget add-ons to get quality base features?'

All we need are the Shuttle AND some massive nukes. Better get them prepped. Oh, wait .....

Planetary Defence System
So what are we going to use against the ELE comet/asteroid thats rushing towards us as we speak? Bruce Willis is gonna be mighty disappointed with the mini-nukes we've still got in stock. I guess it's a moot point until we get a successor to the Space Shuttle

I thought Hurt Locker was a new cloud storage firm with DRM that didn't let you play your legal downloads. Oh wait ....

I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours.

Are Libraries the Solution
Unless people step forward into the Big Society then local libraries will start to disappear. It could be the nearest library is not far from the local Job Seekers Office so you might as well go direct.

Justa One Corrrnetto, Geeve Eet To Meee!
Yet to see a travelling ice cream van with contactless technology. Just what do you do when you (or your kids) hear the chimes and you realise you have no cash? Talking of kids, how are they going to get their pocket money or reward from the tooth fairy? Won't someone think of the children??
Thanks Auntie
At least now we won't get the double up of F1 on BBC1 and the red button simultaneously. Or chopping off the last two minutes of MotoGP qualifying to go to over to empty shots of a F1 circuit.
I'm an avid fan of MotoGP/Moto2/125s/BSB/WSB in case you haven't worked it out. F1? FOAD!
Don't get me started on the WSB 'highlights' on C4
Payback
Anybody clever enough to work out how much interest he would have earned with his ill gotten gains over time?
Warp Speed
Guess we'll have to wait for Warp Drives / Jump Gates / HyperSpace instead
