Legacy Apps?
Dear Tim,
What you call legacy applications we call real applications and they aren't going away.
Thanks
Re: How dare Google
The point is quite a few people, myself included, would pay to use it. We weren't given the choice.
What next?
They'll be patenting their staff next.
No other shop will be able to have smug looking "cool" staff wandering around doing anything other than actually selling anything.
Other bad uses for Excel
In one place I worked at the company fax template was an Excel document.
I even created a Word template that looked identical but no, the management knew how to use Excel.*
* They didn't, the wasted hours I spent fixing up broken fax docu...sorry...spreadsheets.
Then there was the manager who named every one of his spreadsheets with variations on his own name regardless of function. Not DaveFinanceReport.xls but Dave.xls, Dave1.xls David.xls etc.
Greece and Italy
I think I could guess why Greece and Italy aren't performing strongly. Has he checked international affairs recently?
There is also the small matter that most insurers won't give an online quote for anybody with a disability (or anything slightly out of the ordinary for that matter)
You'd have to ring up the individual insurers afterwards anyway.
Prior Art:?
Does the old computer game Captain Blood count as prior art? That had an image based conversation system.
Repeats
Are they repeats if you didn't watch them when aired? I don't use iPlayer to watch something again, I use it to watch things I missed or couldn't record as I was recording something else.
Should I be charged to watch the same programs as someone else just because I can't watch them at the exact moment the BBC chooses?
I'd have no problem with them charging to watch whole series at a later date but not for the last 7 days schedule.

Saving
The save button isn't just there purely because of untrustworthy hard-drives, it's there because of untrustworthy operators too. Who hasn't worked on something and then decided further down the line that it's junk and easier to restart from the last save than push on.
Shocker
Search engine searches other search engines shocker
Got Me
I've got the freeze. I'm leaving well alone and hoping a fix is pushed out over Plus that fixes it and keeps my videos. I've got tons of stuff I don't want to delete.
Fortunately I exported some f the "must keep" stuff.
pre-alpha
Did everybody miss the pre-alpha part? I'm not surprised it has holes in it.
Are Palm Dead Already?
The palm app store is free so that would make them at least the third cheapest

Yeah right
Do ITV really think their output is worth money? I can rarely be bothered to watch it for free.

Increasing Developers
Are they increasing the number of developers by allowing people not using macs to develop iOS software?
This is what happens...
