Re: Must say it..

Ahh but you're forgetting 'Ron Jeremy' law. The amount of porn on the Internet doubles every 18 months. Teenagers and people with a large rain hack collection will probably last a week.

Re: Is it time for Apple...

Plus if you Photoshop the fridge it will look like an iPad. Also Samsung lawyers will not be able to differentiate between the fridge and an iPad.

Open and shut case.

Re: Intel chip?

And when they all break from over winding, Apple can tell them they're doing it wrong.

Re: What's the problem with the picture?

It exists, that's the problem with it. A great example of the pointless tat posted on these sites

Re: First post-purchase action for these muppets.

Well if a post a few places above is correct, it may be down to issues with your new retina display

Re: Not as good as it sounds.

I love the fact the device id is really important, but if just flashes it on the screen for a short time

Re: I see a problem with the analysis

Exactly what I was thinking. "Machines with a higher chance of having crappy software installed are more likely to crash" should be the title of the report.

Re: Somerset?

Not all places in Somerset have been forgotten. In the crappy backwater that is Shepton Mallet we got upgraded in January.

Problem is

If they spin off the company who get's the profits from patent trolling? This is probably going to be the biggest money spinner for them. Unless the patent fairies get their act together.

Shame as Microsoft had some nice hardware in development at times, if only they dropped the "Must run Windows and Office" mentality.

Actually...

When you've finished trying to be funny I think you'll find Android copied Apples patent of "Shit happens when shit happens", when they introduced that bug. So Apple thought of it aaaaaaaages ago, they just didn't want to add the feature to the early iPhones.

Can I add the ongoing investigation into the music and film cartels to the list. Seeing as they were guilty in the U.S. and the only reason to delay the trial is if you're going to be found guilty.

top draw thinking right there

my own theory is the looters are waiting for the shops to be re-stocked. Hardly worth looting an empty shop. Wonder if they'll put in a few pre-orders, just to make sure there's something worth nabbibng?

yep

The odd game supported being displayed and controlled from the PSP while running on the PS3, you could even connect the devices over the internet.

I can't help but think Sony are repeating the same mistakes that they made with the PSP. Concentrate on the graphics and ignore everything else. PSP played PS2 games on the move, Vita plays PS3 games on the move. Maybe the extra thumbstick will make all the difference.

Errrm

A couple of points

1. Both the movie and music industries are convicted cartels in the US and have cases pending over here (amazingly this case has been with the EU for years and doesn't seem like it will ever finish. If they were innocent surely they'd want the case finished)

2. They haven't stopped making content, so they're happily spending their money and generally making record profits, so there's no lack of motivation from the studios

Both the music and film industry want to rip the consumer off. They have no desire to give value for money, or live by the same rules as most other businesses; adapt or go bankrupt. They're also quite happy to screw over the content creators. A friend of mine has been told "This is the deal and if you don't accept we'll make minimal changes and you'll not get a penny".

By all means condone piracy, but defending illegal corporations isn't a great idea.

errrpppp

"The difference is it's not you or your mate valueing your company, it's an outsider with real money valueing FB. And paying a price lower than what others regularly trade it for"

Errrm real money doesn't enter into it, they've bought x amount of facebook shares with the fake money someone used to buy their x amount of shares in another outfit. Rinse and repeat until someone needs the real money and watch the economy collapse.

Has Facebook genuinely started making money yet?

I'm with you

I've been playing this game for a good few days now. It's not the greatest game ever, but as a simple action adventure game it's really enjoyable. I found DS2 a real chore, as I was tired of the locations (Forrest, mine, caves etc) but this hasn't bored me once as may brain isn't overly involved.

Forget the RPG side and get it if you like Dark Alliance type hack and slash.

Errrmmm

While I'm not a fan of lulzsec and they probably are a bunch of f*cknuts, moaning at them for getting the data is a bit short sighted. Yes they're probably doing it for kicks, but if they can do it so can criminal organisations that wont shout about it and the first thing you know is when the debt collectors come knocking.

By all means think they're muppets, but never complain that people have publicly warned you that your private details are available to any crim with an internet connection.

Actually...

The best thing to do is keep them on the phone. I always keep them on the phone for a good 20 minutes or so and if everyone else did them same they'd go bust in no time. It also gets you put on a blacklist so you don't get the calls anymore, my phone has been silent for almost a year.

Regards the calls, they are quite tricky. I had one confused when I said my event log had no errors or warnings in it and he kept asking me what I was looking at to check I was at a computer. I wasn't but he never worked that out.

Anywho, take 20 minutes out of your life and keep them on the phone, it's the only way to stop them.

Errrmmmm

"Don't forget he still submitted his app to Cydial app portal for getting Apple software onto Apple platforms."

Which no apple fanboi would ever do. He's a developer looking to make money. Selling an app to sync your android phone to iTunes wouldn't sell very well.

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

My thoughts exactly, anyone who thinks we live in a capitalist society any more isn't worth listening too. I guess they just haven't thought of a name for this new society we belong to. Corrupt gets my vote.

dell made it by shaving costs!

I agree, forgetting dell made it by being subsidised by intel was bad enough, but going on to say MS gave us a great browsing experiance really showed the writer as a complete idiot.

Next up Sony leads the world in secure systems

I like it

There is a brightness setting on the menu screen, so if the screen looks dark just turn it up. I keep it on the lowest setting and very rarely have to turn it up.

I think it's a great machine, 75% is probably a fair score, I'd go higher, but that's mainly based on the potential of AR gaming and the fact I love the 3D effect.

As for a new model coming out soon, don't hold your breath. The DS Lite came out when it did because the PSP arrived and next to the original DS, the fashion brigade would go for the PSP every time, so Nintendo re-designed the DS to look nicer. An XL model is likely to come out once the price of the screens drop to a reasonable level.

Now if you'll excuse me, a volcano has just morphed out of my desk and I have to have words with the dragon steeling my pen.

In fairness

Accounts are free and they only offered him a month gold service, which comes free with some games, so no biggie.

MS are only using it as bait so they can continue getting subs from him.

Sir Boddington of Smeddly will do

Agreed

I use different passwords for different levels of sites and gawker and twitter would rate at the same low level. If they managed to access both, they'd just find made up info, so no great loss.

Now if only main stream sites would allow non alpha numeric characters in passwords. We'd all have a chance of actually creating secure passwords then.
