Atos involved you say?
What could possibly go wrong?
Posted in Ten… top tech cock-ups of 2012
I thought YouView too
Was sure it would be the number one cock-up. Launched years too late when so many people have already got alternatives. Confusion with regard to the packages on offer and then the major shareholders decide to pump big money into advertising it's biggest competitor Freeview+ on TV at Christmas!
Not just Doh, but Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) comes to mind...
In the motorcycle reenactment of 'the tortoise and the hare' there's only one part H-D will be playing, so I doubt they'll be using the name 'Lightening' any-time soon.
Too much TiVo
Virgin have taken their eyes off the ball big time recently. They've spent far too much time banging on about the capabilities of it's TiVo box without realising they are capabilities that most people don't want, need or are prepared to pay £5 a month extra for.
Meantime they've failed miserably to attract an acceptable amount of HD content to the platform, something that people expect to be normal in 2012, not something special.
Without offering an acceptable HD channel line-up, VM are merely trying to polish a turd with this app.
Blimey
Are they still trying to charge that much? You could get a Galaxy S3 for that...
Are Nokia still going then? ZZzzz...
Is it Christmas? There's a strong smell of turkey around here.
Street Cred
Yeah but think of their street cred. Now they're using the same mobe as the crack dealers...
Re: Great Move Reg !
Yes, but look at it from those 6 people's point of view. They've chosen WP7 and so need as much access to technology news as they can get.
Vaguely familiar
That looks suspiciously like a board that I had to program (that's how we spelt it then) on a Summer School with the Open University at Bath University in the early 80s.
We had to simulate the cycles of a washing machine, putting the cycle name in the alpha display and also switching on either a red or green LED that were also on the board and and spinning a small motor that was also on the board (looks suspiciously like it's near the bottom left in the picture).
Wonder how many of these the OU have got tucked away at Walton Hall, and if they've got an eBay account.
Isn't it obvious?
In order to be incompatible with everyone else. Apple have a lifetime achievement award in it.
It'll never happen...
The Sweeney! remake starring Ray Winstone has been 'in production' for years now. This will probably never see the light of day.

Where do I sign?
Good to see CPW getting some positive publicity for once. I'm off to order one now!
S4C HD
It's really going to hit the fan when people realise they're going to get S4C HD instead of C4 HD on Freeview. Most Welsh people only speak English and have got used to being able to watch C4 on digital TV. When the Freeview HD advertising starts and they realise they're going to get (effectivly) one less channel than everyone else it'll get interesting.
