"You are getting into very specific scenarios".
Nice ending. Move on.
Where's the submit button gone here?
Um, right now facebook seems to have deleted my wall.
Rumours
Apparently there are rumours that there maybe be rumours about, although this could be a rumour.
Bad news
It's now Sunday.
Er an android in the rice cooker.
I'm selling the movie rights.

Re: let me just check the fonts are still working on linux
There are fonts on Linux?

Re: <groan>
So Windows 3.1 was no small achievement.
Bagged a Nexus 10 at 10am, yes 10am. Nexus 4 I had one in the cart and had my card declined, phoned up card company and sorted it. By then it was too late. Nexus 4 were being sold until 9.30am, but you had to press refresh about 100 times and then it was near impossible to bag (somebody was always there first).

Re: There will be no iPhone 5S...
@bazza I don't know if you read the news but one of the Apple's execs resigned over the issue with the mapping application. No other exec is going to want to resign over the next phone, the next phone WILL HAVE TO have a decent mapping application (or else Apple will look bad again), and that may take a little time,
There will be no iPhone 5S...
... until they sort out their mapping application.
I bet that wasn't scheduled in the master plan, and I bet this hasn't been scheduled in peoples predictions.
How long will that take is the question. I wouldn't be surprised if they skip a scheduled iPhone release for this.
Keyboard replacement is more frequent during the summer under certain conditions...
... years ago we used to replace a keyboard or mouse every week at a PR company during the summer - why? They were all getting pissed at lunchtimes in the summer sun - accidents more frequent that way.
The clue is in the word "express", and it doesn't mean fast... it means cut down...
And then you will look at the availability, look for something tried and tested... and go Android.
I suspect developer tools will be more extensive as well and free rather than cut down products microsoft supplies (you gotta pay if you want good productivity tools with MS). This is from a Microsoft fanboy BTW.
She couldn't wait...
... to test the gestures.
I predict the end of paper by the end of the year.

Giles you need to do some reading. These may not be the drioids you are looking for. Next year maybe.
Re: I think they've priced it just right.
.... whilst the world thinks they are not.
The thing about posting a story with a live feed is knowing WHEN TO TAKE IT DOWN as well as knowing WHEN TO PUT IT UP. Looks like the rocket launched ages ago when I visited.
Love otherwise.
Re: Bah!
Two thumbs down for a statement of fact.
So I shall now write the word "arse" in an atttempt to get even more thumbs down.
Bah!
Still no native FLAC support!
They really lock you in.
Have they tried switching it off and on?
Re: Well....Privacy?
No address - no prize.
Are you Jeremy Hunt?
Well....Privacy?
The game is on, is somebody able to publish the authors address purely on the basis of the photo?
FLAC
If it doesn't support FLAC forget it.
If iPhone supported FLAC I just MIGHT buy one.

Posted in Apple logging passwords in plain text
well
Very trivial bug indeed.
And besides who really wants to break into an Apple?
All that will be there is somebodies music collection, somebodies holiday snaps, a few letters, and a few doodles. Maybe even next. Months Parish newsletter. If they're really lucky they might get the new Kylie single or the latest leaflet for the Green party.
To the guy who might accidently upload his privates to facebook
If it can track your eyes I suspect it might track a persons privates as well. By deduction we can assume that if the privates stop moving, then it will upload the photo automatically.

Blackberry
BB is still the number one business smartphone out in the field (probably). Whatever people write we won't know if blackberry is finished or not until the end of the year (ie BB 10).
Linked-In haven't updated their BB smartphone app for two years, and it's gastly.
Glad to see they have their priorities straight when it comes to target audience.

Everytime I see him on repeats of Star Trek.... I want to press a dislike button. But there is no DISLIKE button. Urghhhh!
I blame the parents.

Ant Attack and Phantom Slayer over 3D Monster Maze?
So many more reasons why this game should have been featured above these two:

Posted in Microsoft details Halo 4 release
In case anybody asks any questions
Has only been confirmed for XBOX 360.
Ahh that's it
MI5 are using the same Calendar software as The Register. Clearly it doesn't handle leap years.
The gamble....
... is on Windows Phone 8, and that will be released later this year.
That will be the make or break of it. Simple as.
If you look closely the picture posted is William Shatners hair piece.
No Flying Car included - No sale.
Quit BE last year
For two years I had great service and really fast internet.
Two years after that the speed reduced by half (overnight in fact), terrible tech support dealt with my complaints. Total indifference.
Went to BT after a year of complaining. Same crappy speed but at least I'm paying a lot less.
