35K to spare
... or you could still buy a nice telly for 5K, realise that spending all that money on a screen is insane, and give some cash to a charity that will do something meaningful with it
This world ...

good memories
Spent so much money trying to finish that game, only worked out the elbowing afterward ^^ ,the tunes were brilliant, there are great music remix made by Vertexguy on youtube.
incidently, saw the remake on PS3 which is quite fun to play.
Re: Harry Potter hardbacks
"people who buy these things"
"part of the gang"
thanks for that in depth analysis, which truly adds to the discussion
there's me thinking that when you have nothing constructive to say, you should save your keyboard from use
clearly not ... arrrg should have saved my keyboard
Re: iphone 5 ... too many problems
yes, the phono lead ... thanks ... really works browsing the playlist having to look at a phone screen instead of the screen I have behind the wheel
may I suggest you spare money by not living in a house and paying a mortgage and living in a tent ?
no don't thank me, like you I like to dish out useful advice
IN-TE-GRA-TION is the problem, not the lack of music
iphone 5 ... too many problems
I recently moved from an iphone 4 to iphone 5
despite the lack of improvements, which am not too fussed about ... a good phone
yeh it works like an iphone
what does not work is everything around it, all the sound equipment that apple consumers have bought in the past ... useless ... new connector
hey ... buy an adaptor ... Apple you tight gits ! after people have been buying your products you don't even have the courtesy to provide the adaptor for free, instead ... you sell it for 25 quid , whilst non-branded adaptors are not even out.
then here goes Command in the merc ... not charging, and of course, merc hasn't got cables for the new iPhone.
this really give me the hump
The map integration .... oh well, not as good as the gmap integration
so where does that leave the consumer ? somewhere in the middle of ladyboy pageant with trousers round the ankles
worse of that with my iphone 4
<rant over>
PS: please no cretinous reply " you should have bought this blah blah blah "
Re: What irks me...
Sorry, added another downvote to help your argument there ... not a fanboi, but couldn't help myself ^^
companies wanting to make profit is truly out of order indeed !
re:If I ruled the world every day would be the first day of spring and.
Well, Vive to that and an eclair for both of us !
in 2016, I predict that console sales will also stagnate, and new consoles will not sell as well as in 1990 proportionally to the number of people that played console games, or heard about them whilst playing badmington. This is based on a stringent analysis methodology named "wild stab in the dark", which is incidently what some of these analysts are going to get one day if they don't start being more helpful.
Sorry plagariarism there, but I am only able to re-use existing data, not to create anew.
Another useful app
I haven't jailbroken my iphone in a long time now
but I recall mxTube, which appeared on normal app store for a week or so, allowed to record utube vids and save them in library, was very useful when travelling.
And the good old MAME, but most games were unplayable on a small screen

Posted in New iPads to hit Apple stores on Friday
I will think of these poor victims, queuing for a consumer product, throughout the night
I will probably go and serve some free soup and bread, to help them in their torment, parting with all their hard earned cash, and too addicted to wait a few weeks.
poor devils...
Re: naff
That's the spirit, if you don't like something, just damage it, how do people dare have different taste than yours, I hope the owner likes your face if he catches you doing it.
You must have the empathy of a spanner.
As for the OLED on cars, well, it will come, and we'll get used to it, some troll will have nothing more interesting to do than criticise it (when I don't like someone's car, I tend to think it's their choice, since I don't have to drive it, it's does not bother me).
better app
I have a similar app that books a restaurant, which has an oven, staff and food at the ready. much more powerful :D

Absolutely no white goods in your review !!
I know how my girl struggles with her old washing machine and dish washer, how she curses when not having all the cooking utensils she requires !
how she moans when it is time to find a bag for the hoover, and how she wishes she had a proper vacuum cleaner

When people act like cattle you mean
Sorry, I just could never understand people queuing for a phone or game etc...
so if you become cattle, don't be surprise to be treated alike.
Grow some personality, forget the toys, and go for a walk, muse over the fact that the society you live in is becoming dumber by the minute, and that we are manufacturing even dumber kids ...

Posted in Lumia sales fail to set world alight
had iphone, 3g, and 4, never replaced a single one ... nor have had heard anyone with any issues
I am no fanboy, but flamin heck, you don't half stick the boot in fo a produc, I and all the others I know must have been dead lucky.
Feeling sorry for Nokia at the moment I must say,their products aren't that bad at all, but I think they can't be disruptive enough or add something new to the market to differenciate themselves properly.
Amongst the retarded anti-fanboi comment (which are as bad as being a fanboi really, but I'll let your brain compute that one alone, never could understand the "them and us" based on a brand ... very very sad).
Surely the saddest thing is to get upset over a mobile phone, whatever the brand, I don't feel sorry for people being sad about their delivery, more pitty really.
What the hell have we become.Go out for a walk, for a pint, for a laugh, and forget about the sodding phone !

yes, make a lot of money for not a lot of work, that's the spirit, jump on it, none of your doing, no skills required, but you'll make a lot of money.
You are exactly what is wrong with our world.
re: Maxton
I agree with Maxton percentages alone do not provide a clear picture, growth of the market should be added there. Stats like that can lie easily, 30% of road accidents are causde by drunk drivers, meaning that 70% are caused by other normal drivers, drunks are therefor much safer behind the wheel ....
free internet everywhere
if only they made the iPhone, then we could have all the moaners in one single set of comments.
BT is regulated by ofcom, giving access to ducts and poles, require a lot of careful consideration, and the undertaking that BT has with ofcom ensures that it is done properly. Some might think it is an easy task, if you do, you really haven't got a clue.
it has taken years for them to separate their entire infrastructure to give fairness for the competition.
hell they even give you 999 for free, give the service to virgin and wait for the request for a credit card before getting police or ambulance.
Back to the subject in hand, I think Fujitsu could be onto something here, perhaps provide a fresh approach to networking rural areas.
but I think it financially does not stack up
And please people make your mind up, you don't want that ex-national telecom operator, but you want top speed in the middle of nowhere ? which is it ? because one makes hardly any business sense, unless funded by the government, so you can have the cake and eat it.
Posted in UK PC sales plunged in Q1
bored with "things"
Keep wanting to get that tablet, and everytime I am about to buy it, I think that I could spend that money on more gliding lessons ... or a mountain trek in the alps
Not that I can't afford it ... I just am tired of pieces of equipment I plug everywhere
I have PCs , laptops, smartphones, consoles, flat TVs , and some day, wish I had none of it, but climbed K2 instead.
maturing market indeed, in all senses of the word...
the next tech I buy will have to be a time machine, or a teleporter
mmmh goobye sony and @brian6
That does it for me
no more Sony products .... ever !!
I can't stand this victimisation of a single individual against a whole corporate, and the disproportionate sentences that will follow ...
as for Brian 6, you have the brain of an uneducated and short sighted amoeba, life has not been kind to you as I can see.
Your analogies make no sense, you own your brain, and you are still allowed to come up with mob-like low level thought process, no doubt you can even vote !!!
You own your computer and yet, you are still allowed to inflict poor analogies on the rest of us.

the MSoftie working in IT hate apple ...
pure bllx , actually, any good techie, even MSoftie, is tech agnostic, and the good ones, tend to like apple, I see many MS or J2EE or Other developers these days with Macs. I think you are talking about yourself there, probably a technologist, that will swear by one tech with very little knowledge of the others, and would rather use what you know rather than benefit the business.
Posted in Apple names iPad 2 reveal date
am gonna need to get one now
I am wondering why iPad generates so much hate, especially form the people that do not own one ...
I don't own a race boat, but I don't hate them, they are expensive, overpriced etc ... I just don't care
what makes some non iPad owners react so badly to it, do they wish they had one, or the money to waste ? or do they wish they could control what it is, or is not ?
who should give a flying crap, unless you are to buy one, or had one and were disapointed ?
seriously weird behaviours there ...
Anyroad ... I love the look and feel of this thing, but can't justify the spend, against the functionality (and for the plank above comparing it to a kindle ... I mean .. really?!).
I sure would like to see the new one in action.
@AC
"Funny old lot the French... "
you mean ALL the people in Paris are rude ? or is the whole of france same as paris ?

this article is about mobile phone access in tube during the olympics, go back to your daily mail pal.
Now onto the topic, if the chinese are putting these in, it is because they WILL pump advertising down our phones, the network will probably be subscription based, then reselling thy'lle ad channel to advertising companies during the olympics.
And if I wanted to make revenue out of it ... well I would do exactly that.
as for whoever spoke about "remote detonation" ... not sure whether to be worried or not, but it makes a scary point. Having said that, 7/7 was using remote devices called fanatics.

"Jailbreaking an iPhone just makes you a git who likes to pay to to promote Apple's products and practices, but then decides to pretend to be clever"
maaan, you got me there, to think I thought I was being clever, and now I find out I am just a git
thank god for enlighten people, I just learn so much ...
Now for a real comment,a rather than a cretinous one,
@AC
One of the interesting things about jailbreaking, is to gain full ssh access, this allows for quite a plyful use of the phone. One of the best ones being using apps like pdaNet from cydia or rock (app repositories) , to plug your iphone on your laptop , use it as a router, and vpn through it.
Another thing I quite like to use ssh for , is to run VLC for iphone, from my laptop at work, I can remote control the phone, using IM clients on it, allowing me to use my own IM at work (usually bloked), via 3G connection, but typing with a real keyboard, rather than a phone one.
an many more ...

(btw I prefer a nuclear power plant to a windfarm, less space, far more efficient ... for the half wits that curse at them, I would like to reclaim all the electricity and goods it has produced in the last 30 years from their homes, you could also install solar panels on your roof, put a wind turbine in your garden, recycle calories from your wastage ... but you haven't done so I bet :D).
Posted in Xbox 360 outsells PS3 2:1
PS move ....
... is a bit pants, don't take me wrong the tech is great, super precise etc ... but I played with it 10-20 times, and I realised that on my own, I switch my console on to chill, and quickly revert to using the normal controler.
It would be the same for a Wii or Kinect to be fair, most time, the last thing I want is to jump about in my living room. For that, I run four times a week.
As for the fact that you have ot calibrate every time, well, since you probably moved , ps move needs to know where you are. Kinect is clever though, but all the same, fun at the start, then back to real gaming.
As for the fanboy comments, if you had the time to analyse that, I suggest you are in the same predicament as the fanboy itself.
