"...but the electronics makers (reckon the insurers have all the information they need)" dont give a shite, as long as they buy their wares.

This is total bolloks and an accurate demonstration of "Never listen to the salesmen".

English parents can't even look after a dog!

Once again, useless parents don't understand the internet, yet expect it to raise their sprogs. Your sickening. And you tory wanks, are barf inducing for supporting these FREAKS!

Why aren't these parents being dragged though social services for not looking after their children properly?

It is THEIR responsibility to look after their kids, NOT MINE!

If your upset over the term "tech illiterate" then your options are 2:

Take the shame

Learn something new

Personally I'd prefer to see the standard raised. Not everyone brought down!

4G is used to describe LTE (long term evolution). HSPA (a 3.5G technology) offers speeds within the realm of 4G.

Well done ITU for clearing the confusion, eh?

Your going to see lots of advertising of 4G, however they are not using pure 4G LTE technology.

"....My technophobe wife streams music and videos daily from her iPhone to the AppleTV....da da da da...."

See! What have I been saying?

Apple = technically illiterate. (the shame of the grandparents not being able to program the VCR)

Be seen with an iPhone and be seen as "a bit thick".

".....iPhone 4 is proving be quite the tasty, tempting treat to Mr. and Ms. Average Joe and Jane."

My god, I could not have put it better myself.

AVERAGE! Average, tech illiterate people buying a phone to give them some status.

Out of the Horses Mouth

"Apple in effect told the court its iPad is too lame... "

Exactely what I've been saying for a while now! And those using the tampax are even more lame.

Most of those who boast "I'm getting a Pad" are usually tech illiterate and don't have the nouse to work it out.

Now you know why being seen with iPhones/iPads is not really desireable. Unless you want to be be akin to your gandparents not being able to program the VCR,

Just who were these people

Who in their right mind put the iphone at No.2?

It shouldn't even be in the list!

When will people learn iPhone is dead, its not desirable to be seen as illiterate! And be under no illusion, that is exactely what people will think of you if your seen with an iPhone.

Hello Day old news. Cancel the iPhone subcription. There business is going to Behind the times!

Surprise!

"Trade mag UK Press Gazette openly mocked the journalist register plan while the Daily Mail described the idea as a "creepy attack on press freedom".

Surprise, the media attack a proposal, an idea, a way to reign in media and journo's.

Wow, it's like looking through glass!

Anyone with 1/2 a brain cell can see that something should be done, regardless of how bitchy the media become. Someone needs to clip their wings, we sure can't rely on them to be honest an trust worthy by themselves! We hardly need evidence of that.

Just who is on MY side?

I do not want ANY tracking, cookies, Phorm, Faceebok, Google, etc...........[insert technology or company name here], monitoring or using my data or communications AT ALL in ANY way!

So just who is on my side. How can I implement this without the hassle?

I can't. Because those who are supposed to be on my side, are not!

Apple = tech for the feckless

I've just been to help a user who can't understand how to use their phone, then boast they're "getting an iPad"!

Why is it that the iPad crowd are usually those who can't use IT to start with?

Of course my response was "Oh dear. You'll been seen as technically illiterate carrying one of those mind!"

Their reaction was 'stunned'. They assumed that I'm as stupid as the rest of the flock and would be impressed. HA! Hardly. I know what I'm doing.

Got a non-iPad tablet?

Well done! You won't be seen as technically illiterate.

Of those I support who have an iPad, 90% shouldn't. It's like teaching your grandparents how to program the VCR.

Similarly, smartphone owners are not that smart.

There is no prestige in owning an i[insert devie name], you will only be seen and a relic, who puts more into being seen with a "flashy" device than learning how to use it.

The tech for the technically illiterate are muching the ipad in the vain belief that it's supposed "prestige" will rub off on them. (even tho apple uses are viewed as the grandparents who can't program the VCR)

Waste of public money

Good idea, lets waste more money on dealing with a historical event. Nothing can be changed. It's done.

Let us blame the animals repsonsible (i.e. the suporters) for trying to force their way into an already crowded football ground.

Don't watse money on trying to find a way to lay blame on anyone else.

Apple marketeers are the force behind the brand

We all know that tablets were available before the iPad was released.

Apple marketeers made the iPhone desirable to the spivs. The spivs hail Apple and because it's expensive, makes them feel special. The spivs now believe the hype spouted by the Apple marketeers.

Apple release iPad and the spivs believe that Apple invented tablet computing.

It's just spivs being spivs because the marketeers have elevated them to believing they are something more than just a spiv.

Anyone with 1 brain cell realises that Apple products are not and do not make you elite, but that they are technical illiterates and simply gullible.

Simple!

Wow, you really bought one of those!

iPad purchases are akin to buying a 4 wheel car with only 3 tyres.

No one would buy a laptop that lets you view only a small part of the internet!

Just what is the sales pitch? "Hey, buy this machine and people will think your cool. (but you can't view everything on the internet, and everyone else will think that you are a mug)"

iPad owners have just publicly declared "I'm technically illiterate!" and "I'm easily swayed by perception over function"

Well done!

Hardly A class personnel.

Wow, the same old shite years later

"iPhone users are more affluent (as the phone is pricier) therefore tend to be older. All else follows from these self-evident facts.

(unless you're a phone-geek you would't purchase an Android device if you could afford an iPhone)."

Another English man talking bollox! Most iphone owners get them free (or seriously reduced) on their mobile contract. Hmmm, that seems to contradict what you've just spouted.

Hardly a sign that they are affluent, more effluent.

Most iphone owners are not intelligent enough to realise that they are being played by Apple, like a fiddle.

And you el Reg, STILL perpetuating the same old shite. What’s up? Got nothing else to report on?

Just stop the same old crap people, we are sick of hearing it.

for being f ckwits!

By god Apple will do or say anything!

Why are they so scared? Maybe because android sales outstrip apple sales and they don't want the competition?

Apple users are just technically illiterate.

They may as well be wearing a badge saying "I dont know what I'm doing, and need tech for the dumb"

No Problems

Why is it I never seem to have any problems with any of my tech? Works perfect on my HTC Desire S.

"it will not pick up where you left off when you reopen the app. Particularly frustrating if it's been a few days since oyu started it and can't remember how many minutes in."

Just who would do that? what would be the point of watching something you cant remeber the start of? Thats just wierd man.

iphone shmiphone

My Desire S pisses all over it.

I'm so sick of hearing the Apple Ads. Oi, If I dont have an iPhone it's cause I dont WANT an iPhone.

Oh, and yes my phone can be a boarding card or translate a lunch menu. What can't be done on an Android phone that can only be done on iPhone? Nothing that I'm concerned about.

Seems to me that after what, 3-5 years or Apple marketing, the majority of the populace are starting to see through it like glass. Eventually, you'll not want to be seen with iphone because you know everyone else will be thinking 'What a MUG'

another failed UK Gov IT project

How many times have I hear about companies off-shoring their operations only to bring them back again?

This is just a potential waste of money.

And I am definately not happy that data held by the Gov about me would be held on primary systems in another country!

It's a stupid idea before its even started.
