Re: Who the hell cares?

Couldn't agree more.

The world seems to be becoming crazier by the day. B16B00B5 is nothing other than B16B00B5!

Since when did BIGBOOBS become offensive anyways?

"(parents have also been banned from photographing junior surf lifesaving events after horridly deranged individuals thought it would be fun to snap kids in their swimming costumes)."

If anyone thinks that this is wrong, your mind is sick and twisted!

What? Should our olymiads be blurred out becuase they are wearing tight fitting sports wear?

It's totally innocence and if you disagree its clearly because your mind is thinking that its more than just swim wear!

SAD, OH SO SAD!

Re: Not another 5in screen...

"Slump a huge screen just because fandroids are usually blind or have clunky hands (or want clunky hands) to push and press rather than call people on the damn thing."

iPhone 5 is going for a near 5" screen, but I bet it's going to be innovative and fantastic because its fruity (like their followers). Cut the crap mate, bloody iOS users, they all talk utter shite.

Make your minds up peeps! the iPhone5 is going for a larger screen, but I bet that wouldn't be a "slab".

Re: 101 days until...

Is this the same as the wonderfully retro 80's wallpaper iOS? So basic even those without a brain can use it and as fugly as its user base.

"101 days will be required to develop a credible explanation for just how Metro, Windows 8's oft-pondered new interface, will improve the computing experience."

Were still waiting for Apple to explain how MAC OS improves the computing experience!

If you’re still banging on about Apple, you need to start "thinking differently" and stop following the crowd.

I will evaluate the OS on its strengths and reserve judgement, unlike the commentards here, who are oh so clever they already know how Win8 will work, etc.....

And at least Redmond are moving forward, not stuck with the same OLD interface on OSX/iOS (good old 80's wallpaper).

I'm not advocating it, but I will not prejudge. Suppose that makes me a considered consumer and not a follower. (Not that 1/2 of these commentards could comprehend the concept)

"They could use Skype, of course, which happily supports video calling over mobile networks, but Skype is owned by Microsoft and that will be enough to prevent most Apple users from considering it."

Re: anothr slow newsday...

They should worry as more and more users turn their back on traditional SMS and "text" via internet based platforms.

Not that I feel sorry for the mobile networks, those poor 'we made £15Bn profit last year and still managed to offer the WORST customer experience EVER to it's user base' mobile networks.

Poor them.

Surely the title of the article should read:

The novelty has started to wear off.

The iPhone/pad will go the same way, once people actually realise just how shit it really is, or discover that their choices were poor to start with and better alternatives are available.

"Yes, see those fools not making things more difficult for themselves! How foolish are they! They could be spending more effort doing the same thing! Now excuse me while I use my device that's slightly less easy to use than theirs, which thereby proved my intellectual superiority!"

Sir, your reply, is a feeble attempt to denigrate the ease of use of other OS's in comparison to iOS. Your argument is flawed. Using other OS's is just as simple and easy to use.

However iOS users prefer to believe the choice is superior. Cleary this is not the case as demonstrated by your clear lack of understanding.

iOS owners, good grief!

iPhone owners all say the same thing. It's easy to use.

Seem a bit stupid to me. What, can you not operate any other type of handset?

Don't sign a contract

….just so you can get your free iPhone.

But if you do, don't whinge on if you didn't specifically read the paper you signed. Whether the smelly spotty teen in the phone shop couldn't/wouldn't give you any help.

It’s entirely your fault.

Thats Apple f cked then! That is, after all, what they pay someone else to produce!

Re: "I've no prejudices"

"Says the person who has just condemned all Tories (sp) as bastards. Self-awareness isn't your strong suit, is it?"

Prejudice and political views, I can't reconcile your argument.

Having a political view is hardly prejudice.

Sorry, your thinking needs adjustment. Maybe your parents/peers have skewed your views?

"Being prejudiced is a perfectly normal human trait after all."

Don't agree.

Live and let live, I've no prejudices. These are a learnt/taught concept usually picked up from the parents/peers.

"The idea of a black box organised at a central level has not actually yet been done in a democratic country,"

Since when has britain ever been demoractic? Your kidding.

Civil servants rule (no matter which coulour is leading), and the British are too dim to understand/care.

I'm astounded that a tory minister is standing up for what is right! It's a breath of fresh air in the stagnant Tory party.
