"making Google Maps look oh-so last decade"

They've got ALOT of work to do to make the iPhone not look so oh-so-last-century, with its naff glass and steel (dodgy pre2000 kitchens look and feel)

No wonder they are developing iOS6. After all iOS5< was just rubbish. Apple do seem to have some good ideas but not many, and not many NEW (i.e. not someone else's regurgitated) ideas.

so......iPad owners are wankers then.

Go figure.

it won't be long before our TV is just another tool for rendering Angry Birds properly

The telly should be a screen and thats it. Nothing Else.

I want it to just display my content, from any source.

Facebook has a real name culture....

HAHAHAHA! Funny.

More like Facebook has a culture of shite holes posting shite!

been saying it for ages

the iPhone looks dated (glass and stainless steel, kitchens circa 2000) and the UI looks as stylish as 80's wallpaper. Just glad that more people will stop banging on about iPhone.

Got an iPhone? You'll be seen as being last century, never mind last year!

All those iPhone owners will want the next best thing (after all thats why they purchased one in the first place), good luck moving away from iTunes.

Oh, and Apple innovate? Get real!

HA HA HA, HA, HA HA HA

Deserves it.

"It's unclear whether the swiped laptop (brand unknown) was either backed up, encrypted or password protected"

How can she not know? WTF?

"BT has been forced to withdraw its plans to plonk 108 fibre optic cabling cabinets on the streets of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea."

The posh tarts don't deserve it.

Plow the money into the cities of real people. Let the posh tarts do with dial up!

Perfect for sidejacking.

Most people don't know the first thing about security, so expect to hear some stories.

"Some Facebookers said they were unable to access the website for up to two hours"....and nearly died!

The thought of not being able to proclaim, to those bothered enough to care about them about their sad pathetic small lives, caused heart palpitations.

1 Billion Tragic people, all with the same poor excuse “I only have it to keep in touch with family”

And most of them iPhone owners.

I'd say that if your running in the metro environment, you'd being using the device for "tablet" applications (checking your mail, watching a video clip, quickly scanning web pages).

If you’re running "productivity" applications, you'd be doing so in the normal windows environment.

This dual personality seems to confuse. If can see the benefits clearly.

Metro isn't going to be used much on my desktop, where my aims are producing content/responding to content from others. I want to be able to view/produce content from multiple applications.

Metro would be used on my tablet where I’m going to be consuming others content, and not primarily producing content. I don’t really need to produce content whilst the primary function is to consume.

Simple, dont run win8 metro!

Sorted.

Same ole Apple bullshite. Check

Stop wasting my time with the lies and spin!

Its shite. It will always be shite, and cooks a knob head.

Wow! What a big stink about nothing. Does it matter? NO.

Some bloke banging on about an pic he took nearly 10 years ago!

Get a life mate.

Carrot and Stick

""the more difficult you make things, the more likely your users are to disregard security". Economic arguments should also be considered: fewer passwords to remember and reset equals fewer support calls."

Agreed.

BUT:even with SSO the issue of passwords and password security is still not resolevd!

As a consumer i just see voda/3/o2 holding back the next gen technology!

They claim that they can't start building the 4G netwworks, but they could.

Frequency allocation(s) can be dealt with at a later date.

Stop holding back the tech and get on with it. Voda/3/O2 must stop crying like little girls, man up and pull their finger out. They must also stop trying to use any exuse they can think of to halt the roll out.

You can refuse a smartmeter!

"only thing preventing us from switching off lights, or hanging the washing out on a line, is the lack of a Web 2.0 front-end to tell us how much juice we're burning."

Complete and utter British (Shite!)

If I need clean clothes, i put the washing machine on. I need extra light, I put the lights on.

An energy meter will not stop the need for clean clothes, lights, heating, entertainment, etc...

So the whole smart meter helps reduce enegery consumption is a complete huge steaming pile of British!

If you don't turn off/unplug unused appliances AND you don't relaise that there is a cost involved in leaving said items energised, you deserve to pay more for your electric. But to claim a smart meter is the answer, NA! No it is not.

"forbid the use of Wi-Fi: aircraft cabins and hospitals"

Hospitals?? Have you been into a hospital recently? WiFi is available in hospitals.

" the company still refuses to say exactly where those cell towers are"

But open signal maps will show you on a map.

It will show you which cell towers the handsets can "see" and which it has an active connection with. The cell tower your handset is connected to can be miles away from your location. We assume it will have an active connection to the nearest tower, but that is not always the case.

Great app, but make sure you have a full battery, your charger and a 13amp outlet nearby.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, iOS is as attractive as 80's wallpaper. And look! From the horses mouth!!

"it is only a matter of time before criminals target the operating system."

It will be so well deserved!
