IT Angle

Almost...

... Megashark vs Giant Octoupus.

Put them all near motorways

Motorways already generate lots of noise pollution so just stick yer turbines near those.

WTB DVD Rom

Would much rather buy a DVD. Guess I'll get an itunes giftcard and buy from the app store eventually.

Alien

Apocalypse

was probably my favourite. Have completed it several times..... earlier this year being the latest. They don't make em like they used to.

£15 per month

For all I can eat media and you've got yourself a sale.

Unhappy

You wont have far to look

Because Seagate and Western Digital are the only players left in the market.

Please enter a title

If he can touch type then he doesn't need to look at the screen or keyboard does he.

Road rail would be a good idea....

But the trains are already full.

Very funny.

Drop in the ocean

50m is barely enough to cover one county let alone the whole country.

Just plugging it into the wall would save most of the £1000 electricity bill

Plug the server into the wall for almost the same saving I'm guessing. No solar power needed.

BluRay Drive

stick in a BR drive I'd buy one tomorrow.

Alien

I for one welcome our new zombie satellite overlords

Chris Pollard

Looks suspiciously like the facial recognition software can't recognise burglars and pirates.

New gran turisimio = 3 blurays. sooo 1994.

Paris Hilton

Spend a little time watching....

....and its difficult to believe the figure isn't far higher than 44%

Chris Pollard

Hmm

As far as I can tell this tool doesn't do anything with favourites.... or browsing history. It just dumps running processes, IP address, netstat etc to a text file. I guess its supposed to show what a computer is doing NOW so it can be switched off and sent back to the lab and examined in detail.

No BBC radio

..... makes it reasonably useless as a clock radio replacement.

Chris Pollard

long, random, written down

because, after-all, if they are in my house I've got more to worry about than them stealing my wifi password....

Grenade

Laptops on trains

This will be popular data to leave on a train and end up on the Internet for ever more.

Chris Pollard
WTF?

Not convinced

I'm not convinced people need a £800 ipod touch which doesn't fit in your pocket. Even more so if apple go down the "app store / itunes store" evil genius route to milk cash out of their customers.

He's not wrong

Never have I seen such a pointless banal website receive so much press coverage.
