I wonder what else Shamsung gets up to...

in all of the markets it's in.

Re: I don't want a smart TV.

You'll have a big monitor for sure but a low res one at that

Alien

Reimagining and rebooting...

given Hollywoods lazy trend for reimagining and rebooting franchises, one can only hope they'll redo the prequels!

Re: RE: Samsung should just pay up

As one of the ruling families in S. Korea, some would say Shamsung aren't used to being the ones who pay out

Re: Penetrator

Halcyon days! It was an awesome scramble clone.

The level editor was amazing, although we usually ended up flattening everything and then propping a coffee mug on the fire button to rack up a huge score - cos that's how we rolled as kids! :D

Hello Intel

With Intel's spare fab capacity, I wonder how much it will take to convince them to be a foundry for Apple?

G300

"Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread it's extremely responsive, without a twitch."

Is the reviewer on crack?!?

It's got more lag than a central heating boiler!

The G300 is probably the best of the budget bunch but for all the fandroids claiming it's better than an iPhone, they need to get a grip!

I bought a G300 for £99 from Sainsburys, no topup needed. I paid £5 to get an unlock code via ebay.

This is a backup phone but I don't think I could live with it as my only phone. Battery life is crap. It's also very creaky and plasticky especially in the bottom third.

There's no hardware acceleration for the UI in the ICS roms I've seen either so you may as well leave GB on it.

RIP RSS reader

Sadly they've nuked the RSS functionality in Safari :(

Apple tax?

Considering Pure is part of Imagination Technologies (i.e. powerVR) of which Apple is a shareholder, I would have thought Airplay wouldn't be a problem?

Blame recruitment agencies?

Recruiters mentality = commission and getting bums on seats

Sensationalism?

Have the journotards been sent to the Super Soaraway Sun School of sensationalist writing lately?

Murdoch would be proud!

Re: Oh the humanity!

erm you have to type in your admin password for it to install

and if it detects any software like little snitch (and even Xcode!!) it won't install!

I'd like to see where they got these numbers from - are they selling anything?

Greed

With every misprice deal you get...

a) the greedy gloaters claiming they bought 10+ units

b) the indignant outrage of the shopper who believes it's their right that the deal be honoured

get real people!

Re: Not quite sure what is proved here.

Yeah you need to peek unless the owner rings it from another phone.

I'm surprised you weren't arrested for taking photos in the tube station!

It's the poison dwarf's fault - he's forever squeezing the pips till they squeak!

So what information did they have access to?

I initially thought they did a data grab and then spammed the addresses from elsewhere but the spam emails originated from the ticket master system itself.

The final 'adobe' server address was even wrapped up in the ticket master tracking code ie...

http://smr.mm.ticketmaster.com:80/track?type=3Dclick&enid=3DZWFzP=

I wonder what data was actually held on the servers they had access to?

That'll learn her

I wonder if he backed it up before installing Microsoft hollow point? :D

If they can be estimated...

why not just release them?

Samsung don't either but Apple do.

I would have thought super secret Apple would be one hiding their sales!

Thumb Down

No mention of the price rises 1st April?

I expect ARPU will increase again...

The Cloud is free anyway?

I'm not with O2 but I've certainly used The Cloud at several locations for free (you have to do a simple sign up of course) - can't see why this affects O2 users??

You buy cheap, you buy twice...

There's another proximity sensor in the 4S too for the tilt to speak detection.

Trackpad FUD

I'd like to point out to the journotard that of course the apple trackpad is harder to push closer to the keyboard because that's where the pivot is!

Anyway, it's all about the tap! :D

I wonder if...

Google are pulling Motorola's strings?

WTF?

Dear god, no!

Has Tim Cook set foot in a DSG store and attempted to buy something?

I expect he'll go on another rebranding exercise and move all stores to out of town retail parks - all next to each other!

He'll be telling retail staff to upsell everything in sight and pushing extended warranties!

MacBook Air is competitively priced

I don't see any of these ultra books being MBA killers in functionality or price.

Bribery is such a harsh word

I think the politicians prefer the term 'lobbying'

democracy is an illusion

Hats off to the boffins and engineers

Thumb Up

Well I'm glad I've been making do with my 20Mb service and resisting the urge to upgrade to 30 or 50Mb.

60Mb service here we come!

Thank you VM (just make sure I'm not the last area to get the upgrades!)

You can get unlocked ones at an Apple Store

I can't see any sign up option other than with Facebook?

I was going to sign up but it looks like having a Facebook account is mandatory! wtf is up with that?

The power VR GPU in the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 already dump all over everything else. Check out the benchmarks on anandtech

Season ticket packages

If Apple or google can create a season ticket subscription where you get to see all matches featuring your favourite team then I'd be all over that.

I don't get sky sports because a) it's murdoch b) I don't want to watch manure or chelski all the time

I'm sure supporters of the other teams outside the top 4 also feel like their team is never featured as much

Why wait till now?

Did BT just wake up and realise Google might be infringing?

Are bodybuilders the new anonymous?

or were they just after someone's oiled up muscle pics?

Once again Apple beat the analysts

This time the analysts guessed too high.

Remind me why these analysts exist and why uninformed investors rely on their alleged wisdom?

You could have saved at least one download by grabbing the firmware files yourself rather than through an iTunes update!
