Apple iPad vs... the rest

RE: More common than you think

Like arse are they. In my social circle, I've still yet to see one (outside a shop). This leads me to suspect that they aren’t as common as YOU’D think, or people are too embarrassed to admit they’ve got one ... and let’s be honest, if someone has an “i” device, they’ll tell you alllllll about it…

Sony PlayStation Network vs MS Xbox Live

Lickass McClippers

One or the other...

Seems to me, that the only really choice there is to make, is whether or not you're willing to pay money to play online. And, as I have thus far fastidiously steered clear of any game that has required me to pay a retainer in order to keep playing, you'll know which platform I went for...

Sony Reader PRS-350 Pocket Edition

Lickass McClippers
WTF?

So...

"But... it's still £51 more expensive than the new Kindle, which comes with Wi-Fi, and pricier too than the Kindle with 3G. Lack of connectivity doesn't bother me, but the thought I can get an e-book reader with a comparable-quality screen and twice as much storage for a lot less money does."

And yet it still receives an 80% rating, versus the cheaper and better specced Kindle, which only received an 85% rating. Are you being paid by Sony..?? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Sony whore, have been for years, but the Kindle offers much more, and it only awarded an extra 5%...

I have never in my life bought a PC with Windows pre-installed, and I've had a few of them over the last decade and a half. The fact I've installed Windows on them afterwards is my choice...

You get a thumbs up for the observation about Gaming. I'm a long term PC Gamer, never really liked consoles. However, personal circumstance has meant that I've not had room to have the desktop rig up and running. So to feed my gaming habit, I've been PS3ing it for the last few years. My PC has been shut in a cupboard all that time, and even though I've now able to get the desktop out, it'll probably continue to sit exactly where it is. I'll make do with the laptop for the t'internets.

However, if I could, I'd also thumbs down you for the observation that MS on PC is dead. Because frankly that's an absurd notion...

If anybody is even remotely serious about reduce our impact on this planet, then I see no other way than to reduce the size of the population. And I don't just mean reduce the rate of increase. There's too damn many of us on this rock...

Titish...

Glad Avatar got chuff all other than what it deserved. Fantastic looking crap film.

That being said, I don't think Hurt Locker was any more deserving, that's crap too. Honestly, a film about a guy who acts like a complete tit and continually gets his oppos into shite, up to and including one of them being shot. Yeah, thanks for that fucktard, this ain't CoD, I don't get to respawn somewhere with a pair of shiny new legs...

I'm now thinking, that little old man I see coming and going from my block isn't there to see Bert & Ethel in 12a downstairs. He's actually disappearing through one of the many doorways in the hall and entering some dark, dank loft space in the building. Once there, he'll be plugging in a set of headphones, firing up some screens, and monitoring all internet activity...

Re: Amble Crackwhore...

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it, just as I'm entitled to my opinion about Smackface-car-wreck.

Most, if not all, recent Sony Ericsson Walkman phones do utilise standard 3.5mm headphone jacks, via the handsfree kit. Ok, you can't plug a 3.5mm jack straight into the phone, but you can still use one.

You're not in a minority, I've been reading his books for years, and the chap has a chronic problem with completing a story. How often have I gotten to the end of one of his works, and thrown the damn thing across the room? Often enough. Like a crack-whore, I keep going back for more.

I concur with the rest of your points though, as well as AC's sarky ones. It's unprecedented that someone of 'fame' says something remotely sensible...

I use BTYahoo..!! mail, and don't have a "@btinternet.com", I have a "@btopenworld.com" address, I don't have to verify every outgoing mail...
