He can't be that great...
He can't be that great as I see him on Youtube all the time in a war room moaning about X-Box live! He's hot a right temper on him!

I don't know thumbed you down (ooh err) but I thought that was a good joke. Imagining what iTea would be like... hmmm...
well you'd be locked in to having exactly the same way Steve drinks his. So if you want to add sugar you're gunna have to jailbreak your teabags (maybe the term 'tea-bagging' will be used for that process!)
Also the tea will be very expensive, but a lot more trendy than the evil PG Tips (who whole stole the idea anyway according to Steve, about 20 or 30 years ago or some s**t no-one cares about any-more).
The packaging will say on it "Designed in California, Grown in China"
Stephen Fry will constantly yabba on about how he loves his iTea and how he was the first person in the UK to ever drink it after Douglas Adams.
Leo Laporte's Twit Network will bring out a podcast about it - "Tea Break Weekly" ? - "This Week About Tea" ???
Some bloke will find a lost teabag on the floor of a pub and go round hawking it to Tea Blogs, bla bla bla you know the rest, Steve gets mad, Police special tea task force raids offices, kettles get confiscated, I get bored and stop making pathetic jokes about an iFuture dystopia.
I can't wait for Jobs to buy ITV and update the programmes...
"iCorrie" - the cobbels and grim terace houses replaced with cleaming white modernist buildings - the Rovers Return gets converted into an Apple store - "ayePhone!"
"Britain's got iPads" - talent show in which developers have to perform in front of three Steve Jobses in the hope of getting approval for their apps. Contestants wearing turtle necks will obviously fail due to replicating Apple functionality.
"I'm a twitter celebrity, track my location!" - 10 celebs get dumped in Milton Keynes town centre and are forced to survive using nothing but their iPhones and the fantastic array of communication and productivity apps available in the app store. Viewers vote off who they hate by sending @ replies to the celeb they wish to vote off including the hash tag #FAIL.
I'd just to like one very serious point if I may...
The Guardian loosing £100,000 a day? One-Hundred-Thousand... A DAY? The equivalence of a Three Bedroom House in a nice-ish area, a day, you loose?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
You're doing it WRONG!
That is all :o)
I have two mobiles, one is hardly ever switched on, I give companies that number. I only use my land-line for calling my mum, its never plugged in otherwise.
I don't get nuisance calls! - apart from once at 4am I have had a drunk man phone several times on my main mobile claiming my number is that of "some bird" he's met in a club demanding to have sex with me!
If only insurance companies demanded to have sex with me I'd be more willing to give them my main number - talk about "quote me happy"!
To Imply most gamers are clever is frankly bollocks! Gamers are probably a great market for scammers to go after. Only a few are geeky types like us, many players of so called "hardcore games" are just playing the games that are popular for their system or within their peer group. And with all the cracked software, the causal games for non techy people, promises of add-ons, level-ups for MMO's and cheats it's probably a great market to get into if you're a scammer.
My brain hurts, too many games *droools* and my thumbs are buggered!
Adverts in Javascript - frankly the prospect of that sounds worst than flash ads! Yay, I look forward to this appearing on all browsers (including desktops) soon. I cant wait for my firefox to start crashing randomly and pages taking years to load because of poorly coded ads in javascript.
If only there was some sort of magical add-on for browsers that could "block" "adds". Or one that could make "script" = "no". ;o)
She's got nothing to hide and she's got a face book group! And she's thirty Quid down! I wouldn't mess with her if I was you! She's a hard hitting hack!
Sell the card on ebay in five years time, it will probably fetch a few bob more than thirty. I'd imagine the museum of fascism* would pay at least £35 for it. And in the mean time, go get a Job on a low profile paper and stop showing yourself up (oh sorry, you already do work for a low profile paper, well it was until you started drawing attention to yourself like a loud mouthed village idiot.)
*If it exists.
The good thing about the Daily Mail running Teletext was the tiny on-screen character limit for each page meant that they did not have room on each page to print quite nearly as much bollox as in their papers!
If they made their web site and physical publications 40 by 24 characters they'd probably be better for it as you cant fit in so many lies into that sort of space.
Aussies are getting so badly treated by their government these days that I expect soon, we over here in blighty and other free countries will have to start giving Australian backpackers political asylum! And rightly too! Sounds like 1984 over-there, but with more lager.
Paris, cos she refuses to have her tubes filtered.
"And whatever else Murdoch may be, he certainly isn't stupid."
I used to think the man had some brains (I mean, it must take someone at least "quite brainy" to achieve his level of business success) but after hearing a recent interview with him where he made a total prat of himself when trying to explain google and the interwebs in relation to online news media, I think the man is clearly an idiot at worst or totally out of touch at best.
A media mougal who dose not understand the media - hahaha!
I've never read a dead tree paper (well occasionally 10-15 years ago). I'm 26 and throughout the years I've got my news from the TV, Radio, Teletext (remember that haha) and starting in 1999 the internet. These days I don't watch the tele and I don't listen to the radio so I get all my news online (without paying a penny). I don't see this changing any-time soon. I couldn't give a monkeys if Murdoch goes pay, good riddance, it will stop his crap cluttering up google news at least!
Even if all newspapers go paid, there is this thing called the BBC and they have a highly regarded news website that I hear is very popular. So in order for this plan to work Mr Murdoch, I think you will not only need to persuade every newspaper and news agency to go paid (never going to happen), but also have a word with your pal Cameron and get him to shut down the beeb too! If you can't compete with free you'll need to!
The cover price of "general news" newspapers covers the cost of printing, distribution and a small cut to the shop who sells. I don't equate the cover price with the value of the news it contains. The adverts pay for that.
I frequent other non news sites that make a profit from showing me ads, If the news sites can't do it to then surely they're doing it wrong!
Thanks to facebook, you can actually find some people with a simple google search these days - especially if they have an uncommon name, and even if they don't, knowing what they look like and their rough location can help narrow down the field. And the people you can find are in the main blissfully unaware of this, thanks to FB's robust user controls - yeah right!
Kind of dose exactly what it says on the tin in that respect - phone book - a book of names and phone numbers - facebook - a book of names and faces!
I think the only sensible way to use facebook is to not use it. True friends will still be your friend no matter what, you don't need to post status messages about the length and thickness of your logs to each other to maintain a relationship. Then again, maybe that's why facebook didn't really work out for me ;o)
That chappy saying he dose not know why someone would want to even bother hacking a car - hmm I'm no expert but off the top off my head...
Covert suvalence, use the cars gps system to track that special loved/hated one in your life.
Fraud (knock back the milage a few thousand miles before flogging),
Kill people (Wanna bump off your spouse while they are on the road, there's an illegal back-door app for that)
Insurance scam - maybe on board systems would of recorded the force of impact in a small crash you recently had proving that there's no way you've sustained whiplash - better log in and change those readings so you don't get found out as an insurance cheat then!
Make a nerd-tastic full size remote control car - easy-ish to do now using lots of mechanical hardware - imagine being able to do this with just software and an iPad for the remote - you would need to do a lot of hacking of the car for this geekgasmic hobby project
Play a joke on someone - imagine hacking your mates car so that the stereo system only ever played YMCA or Britney Spears. and at full volume!
There's 6 reasons off the top of my head why people might want to hack cars. Maybe they are a bit far fetched but they all seem like possibilities to me, if not now them in five or ten years time.
I like a few others don't really know what the iPad is actually for and I can't find a killer reason why the mass market would want one. The iPhone started out as a overpriced phone lacking buttons and basic features even the cheapest piece of crap nokia phone had but it didn't take long for people to start drooling over the shininess did it! Now people cant cope without one and other phones had to up their game as a result.
If the iPad was more geared up as a content creation device it would be great for nerds - but as a consuming device they might as well just rename it as the "facebook/iPlayer/Hulu/Popcap Games/Fart App Pad" as it's probably what it is going to be used as in the main.
Paris, because she is the target market - simple but not poor (financially not taste)
