WTF?

How come

How come when you make bad jokes like that you get 25 (now 26) up-votes, yet when I do, I'm lucky to get a few uppers and mostly downers?

What's illegal content anyway?

iTunes sells music that contains un-cleared, unlicensed samples* - can we block that please?

*Of course many music sites do, especially ones that allow you buy to music from smaller dance labels / artists. And uncleared samples are still infringing copyright. Love how the music industry is so two faced about this issue - "We will sue our customers for anything but one of own can rip us off until the tune in question sells well enough to generate us some income is fine."

Fists, I mean thumbs up!

Someone got their job advert and their dating advert mixed-up didnt they! They'll be some random ad on some hook-up website asking for a well hung dominant solution architect - if he's not careful that terminology will spread and he's just invented some new sex slang!

In 2040

In 2040, there's going to be an iPhone style case for your implanted comms/governmentz ID chip to enable you to look all "cool and retro". Not sure how it will work with the chip being inside your body but still it will be a talking point amongst you and your friends as you reminisce about those iPhone yuppies of the late noughties!

This is so funny! I used to really love the plain text scams with their poor grammar, liberal use of upper case and digits and comical fake names, but this new graphical style is fricking hilarious!

Oh and one more thing, clearly you incapable of detecting both sarcasm and minor whit - INKYdink may be a very minor example of whit it is true but it's more whit than you can muster up in a forum post judging by your totally unnecessary nastiness.

what a co-inkydink!

I've just been playing Pac-man, what a co-inkydink!

This isn't the same story going about the gaming press at the moment about a reality show based on pac-man being planned is it? I suspect it might be seeing as this story mentioned "single celled organisms" which have the same intelligence level of your average reality show contestant!

blow hole

Back in the day, if our Atari 2600 or Ninty NES started playing up we just blew into their slots and that always sorted the problem!

I think the 360 needs a hole you can blow into - big FAIL Microsoft engineers for not including a blow hole of some type!

If they had tried this same experiment with any Wii or DS game with the word "Mario" in its title and flogged it on ebay they would of probably found the results surprisingly different as it's bloody almost impossible to buy any Mario game cheap from there - heck I've even seen them go for more money than you can buy them for brand new!

Disklabs has put together a list

Disklabs has put together a list of its oddest data receiver(sic)* jobs of the last 12 months...

...Honestly? Sure they didn't put this list together down the pub the other night? It's a well known fact that a lot of top ten lists published by magazines and websites are made in this fashion. I'm sure the same holds true for PR departments too!

Paris, cos she features in all ten of my list of oddest data recovery jobs in the last 12 months.

*I've always wanted to say "sic" whatever the frigg it means, have I done it right?

I'm not a bitter c

I'm not a bitter cunt and I actually REALLY like Stephen Fry. He's very funny and talented. I'm not jellous of him and I wish him well.

However this dose not change the fact that he is on telly too much and >most< of it is either shit or repeated to death. QI is good. A bit of Fry and Laurie was good etc. But adverts for Twinnings tea and lightweight documentaries fronted by Stephen Fry because the producers lack the imagination to think of someone else to present them are shit, etc.

I respect Stephen Fry actually, I respect him enough to speak my mind about what I actually think of his work, rather than the arse kissing he gets from most people.

I'm sorry if anyone who disagrees with me thinks i'm being harsh. I'm not, I just think doing adverts for Direct Line is fucking low. That's why I don't have an issue with Paul Merton doing them too.

I'm going to patent

I'm going to patent the "Medium Double Click" it is in speed between a normal double click and your slow double click you like so much for renaming files. I have no idea what use it could be but I hear Texas is a good place to sue the arses off anybody who might "infringe" my patent so I'm all set for some easy dosh!

I could probably sue anybody who uses a normal double click or a slow one as I could argue both styles of double clicking infringe my invention if the user dose them wrong!

In the meantime I hope my patent for "crap unfunny forum comments" goes through okay.

Hey Stephen, can we have some quality rather quantity please?

I like him but he's far to over exposed now its beyond the joke. When he's literally on four TV shows and a radio programme simultaneously plus the countless TV ads, news stories and you even see him on the train all on the same day - then yes, it really is beyond the joke.

I'm not even exaggerating, all the above has happened in my experience. I don't watch QI any-more because I'm literally sick of him. I will go back and watch old episodes in a few years probably but right now I'm avoiding him. I do think its fair to say he's a sell out and when I hear him bang on about standards in the media its a bit two faced of him to act as if he's some sort of ambassador for quality programme making - we're talking about a man who dose advert voice overs for Argos and Direct Line and stared in the god awful Kingdom ffs!

Hey Stephen, can we have some quality rather quantity please?

I did not read this article because I hate him, I did so despite being a bit sick of his overexposure, to find out what silly thing he has done on Twitter - I'd do the same for any celeb who's messed up online - even those I've never heard of - which is most of them I'm sorry but that's what celebs are there for - for us to laugh at when they've smeged up!

Nice advert! And the product obviously needs all the advertising it can get - I'm sure it will end up in poundshops up and down the land in a few weeks time thanks to it being complete useless tat - I look forward to Stuart Ashen's review on youtube once Poundland acquire all the unsold stock!

The main reason (well one of them)

The main reason though you never see any "AO" aduits only rated games for any of the consoles is that a certain US retailer who's name ends with "Mart" and begins with "Wall" won't touch 'em with a barge pole.

This one retailer pretty much has a whole industry held to ransom in terms of what is suitable content.

As for Kinect and it being "family friendly" - now I know what they mean after seeing those youtube videos of family members physically "kinecting" with each other rather painfully it seems while playing the bloody thing! It should come with an inflatable boxing ring and padded headgear to protect nippers from getting smacked round the chops by their parents while playing Just Dance!

Smiley face cos its Wallmarts acid house and early 90's rave scene inspired inspired mascot isn't it?

Bloody hell - a Microsoft product that gets good word of mouth that isn't that stupid xbox Kinect thingy! Whatever next!

Also every-time I see "MSE antivirus" mentioned anywhere I always think "What, has Martian Lewis the tight fisted expert released his own free-ware antivirus or something" until I remember what MSE actually stands for!
