"Despite being nearly half a pound lighter than the iPad 2, it actually feels heavier, in large part because of its boxy shape."

Paranoid Yanks

This man should be praised for doing the right thing!

Instead the confused yanks are condeming the man for "showing them up" for what they are.

It'll be the republicans stirring the pot again, like a bunch of witches.

Immoraility 100% ; sanity 0%

"......So is the Rabbi an open-source man, or just a grumpy Windows user annoyed that he can't get his hands on the latest fondleslab?"

Or are you just one of the saddo's?

".......where players have fun fighting and torturing dogs, it sends a dangerous message that this kind of behaviour is acceptable"

The most scary thing is, it's true!

99.5% of the population as a thick as sh te, and those allifcted will believe it.

Yes, but only because he was connected to the fire brigade and submitted a false call to them.

1000's of calls a day are received by 999 operators (which are not the same as the Police, Fire, Ambulance control centres), from total fuckwits.

Usually daft kids, or drunken or immature adults who need to be punished for abusing the system designed to protect you.

Just who believes anything on the net, on the telly, radio, and by god just WHO buys newspapers??? PRINT IS DEAD PEOPLE.

I learned along time ago, humans talk bollox and not to believe anything from anyone, unless i've seen/experienced it with my own eyes!

Works fine for me.

Like it or not BD was dead upon release. Wow it's as dead as VHS. Of course Brits tend to catch on that little bit (or massively) later.

"Mobile data traffic is also expected to surge, growing 60 per cent a year every year between now and 2016"

Its obvious, with a bit of thought for most people. May not be the numbers given, but mobile data usage will only increase.

I read...

....Tribunal rule Apple is so sh te, to make any comment about them/their brands, other than a positive one, would "damage" apple.

WOW, just how weak? Mind you, you can't expect common sense from Apple or its affiliates.

Just Laugh

....Hard and Loud at the FB losers!

They will all get what they rightly deserve.

No one would leave their door keys in the lock when leaving the home, so if they are stupid enough to leave their personal information with someone they have never met, they deserve, indeed asking for the trouble they will receive.

Why does it take YEARS for anything to happen in this god forsaken country?

I suggested this to my local transport authority years and years ago.

why use a limited net connected telly?

connect you PC to your telly and use PIP. Full PC functionality and TV!

These net connected TV's are a poor attempt at best.

NTL have always been rubbish....

...and thier penny pinching ways means that will never change.

However, STOP thinking any service should be 24/7 365. I can't be. Realise this and stop whining like spoilt brats.

Faults occur and when they do, someone goes out to fix them. It's not as if your never going to get service back again. You, like the rest of us just have to wait till it's fixed.

" I tend to leave my TV, Sky box and other AV kit in their low-power standby mode when I retire to my boudoir in the evenings"

Wow, for a tech journalist, your a bit in the dark ages. Oi, it's 2011. Where have you been?

Who cares

It's a flash in the pan.

Anyone with a cell knows iphone is dated and dying already. Don't take 1,000's of purchases as anything other than sheep being sheep.

"It astounds me of the stupidity of many of the people who have been posting on these threads"

Why be astounded, just read replies on other topics, and you can clearly see that the majority of posters are just trolls. Stupid spoilt little brats who have grown to be stupid spoilt big brats.

"Careful readers will note that without the burden of CCS, gas is by far the cheapest of all: and likely to fall dramatically as onshore unconventional reserves are exploited. We'll have more gas than we know what to do with."

So lets just fall into the trap! Lets just waste this resource until in 30 years or so were are back to square 1. Wow, was this comment considered in any way?

You can't expect anything better! Support the rich corporation, downtrod the normal consumer.

Catch up!

"Yet, TV makers have never been keener to promote the concept of the "Smart TV" - a telly with internet connectivity and the ability to run apps linked to a range of social networking and IPTV services"

Wow, just how blind are these companies?

This should have been done 10 years ago. A PC connected to a flat panel TV with picture in picture gives you internet and TV broadcasting on ya telly at the same time.

These "smart tellies" need to be doing alot more than the makers are currently producing.

It'll be Apple to release such an "i"telly and they'll sell thousands, and the i people will be praising them again as being revolutionary.

"why are Microsoft and others dumbing down their products to the level of an uninterested child with an attention deficit problem"

Blame the "i" generation. iPhone and iPad users who love it because it "just works".

I'm with you. I'd prefer to see users who know what is happening and have some understanding of what they are doing.
