Big thumbs up from me for the Maxell ad photo ....
If it helps I'm a "right technology for the situation" sort of guy. Running means MP3s on a shuffle, background music means MP3s via Sonos but actually sitting down and listening to music is done using vinyl and valves and wires and stuff

"Do you think Google would be any better? of course not. They're being investigated for monopoly abuse."
What have Google got to do with this? It's about Apple taking the piss with a court judgement in a case against Samsung.
Not to say that Google woul;dn't be just as bad ... and get a proper kicking here as well.

Fail?
I love it when the armchair warriers think they know better than the Boffins ....

@Hasham - way to miss the point!
Nobody is complaining about him having or leaving money. The fact is he's left $6m and there will be more coming in from royalties. Why should more be made from advertising by people that didn't create the art if he didn't want it? He has left a good legacy - both musical (to all of us that want to appreciate it) and financial (to his family).
Again?
Does anybody have any time or respect for Aonymous and their self aggrandising bollocks?
No?
Thought not ...
This is what they want!
This is why I love El Reg ....
@ Calling all lawyers
Whilst it looks very much like a Phorm-style MITM attack I imagine it's covered in the Ts and Cs ...
Any chance of some facts?

One of the reasons for getting my SGS2 is that it clearly isn't an iPhone to look at ....
Always good to see Lester Bangs mentioned ... is it wrong that he is as close as I get to having a hero?
More Please El Reg ..
Another vote for more of this sort of article .... I feel achey of head but think I may just have understood some of this and learnt something new.
But please keep the airbag\Playmobile stuff as well :-)

Further Reading
Good article as someone who cut his teeth on Z80s and 6502s I love stuff like this. Anyone got any suggestions for further reading on microprocessor history? Books, PDFs, URLs, whatever ....

Agree with the above ....
RIM really are screwing any chance this thing has of success.

Another Garmin fan ....
Had a 405 for a couple of years now. Not sure why I'd want to swap it for carrying a phone with me ....
Pronunciation is key ....
Worked at BT when he was there and it was the done thing to pronounce his name anyway you pleased as long as it wasn't the obvious one. There was also a "war room" with his name on ....

I always find any articles about mobile phones are ruined by the tossers that can't see past their own favourites when responding in the comments section .....
Turbo Pascal 4 for me ...
my first experience of losing whole nights to a computer ....
I'll raise a glass later.

Loved this ... Reg at it's best :-)
Some users are furious at Microsoft for rolling out a buggy product without fully testing it first.

I use it for checking www.scrabblesolver.net on a laptop I occasionally share with my significant other. I'd hate her to know that, not only is she better than me , but cheating isn't helping.
My pr0n gets checked on an entirely differenct laptop.

A proper piece of Friday work ....
Was going well ...
until the price. Who'd have guessed that would happen with a Cisco product?

Same from me ...
His articles were always the first I turned to when a new PCW came out.
RIP
Seems a tad brave ...
Do they really do mid-air stalls on a first flight?
But why?
Would you copy that hideous interface?
Whatever the rights and wrongs I don't fancy Plurk's chances ....
