The BBC Technology Editors?

This provides no reasurance... google is the NSA's bitch. They'll decrypt the data for the feds and the langley people when ever they are asked to.

Where are the green vapour circles?

Like arnie had in erazor? Aren't rail guns supposed zo futuristic weapons... that looked like something from the 60s

Hmm...

"...they did not use or process the phone numbers and have deleted them from their servers..."

Was this before or after prism had access to the data?

I like windows 8...

I happy with these changes... I think what stopped windows 8 from taking off is a disconnection with the real world... not everyone lives in a mansion in silicon valle or has more than 1 computer... people had to chose between a laptop that did everything or a tablet with a touch screen that can't do much more than a phone. If people only have one the space/need for one computer they aren't going to buy a windows 8 slab.

MS need to start living in the real world and see that most people earn less before tax in the whole life time than most MS employees pay in tax each month. I saw MS idea for a new games console with hugh speakers placed a round a room... sorry balmer but most people don't live in a pad with enough spare rooms to make one of them just for gaming... same with computers most people don't have several... children don't have touch screens in their bedrooms so that they can talk with their 80 year old rich grandparents over skype... and going outside with my laptop to start dancing to click click click noise it makes is a sure way to end up in traction... and the need to buy a new laptop.

Tasers when not up to standards...

...maybe we should introduce such a scheme for MPs

The question is...

... is the Ecuadorian embassy happy to let him sleep on the sofa forever?

Either someone will have to pay for them or his dirt on Ecuador hat better be really good... you know the dirt he said he would release if they didn't take him in ;)

This will be useful...

... it will help people add to the ever expanding cesspit of information about tv shows and every character that has even been on the show, isn't wikipedia just on online guide to tv shows?

Metro appps suck balls

They are shit, filled with adverts, all of them trying to get you to buy full versions. I haven't yet seen an app that made me want to use it excet for cut the rope

Some are so bad that they are damaging MS. cheap factory produced database apps that all do the same thing an look like they wre made in 5 minutes... most of them make iBoobs looks advanced and useful.

For someone who hates bad design...

...it's odd that his site is so difficult to use and understand what is being presented, especially when you expand some calls... This will be used by nerds only.

And how many people will use that?

Guess put the number of fluent klingon speaks to aroun 100 in the whole world, do 80% of them work at MS or something?

What a waste of time and money

Reddit couch potatoes at home should maybe get of the asses

and help... instead of buying pizza für police officers. I'm not sure the first thing on the mind of police officers looking for someone who killed an 8yr old kid and a fellow police officer is not whether they should buy some stuffed crust for their lunch or not.

Also looking at the posts, I find it dubious that any police officer would find reading areddit post easy to follow or useful to do... people were complimenting each other on their hair for crying out loud when they ID themselves in the photos.

It just goes to show...

... you can buy a bright pink car and put "bat" wings on it, but you can't buy good taste.

Money can take the nerd out of WoW but it can't give the nerd class.

So basically the push all tge positive comments to the top in an attemp to bury the negative...

As if....

... the lives of people in china aren't bad enough... they now have to use Linux. The poor sods
