I disagree!
He sounds very much like a number two.
They finally get Freeview working well
...then feck around with it, is Offcom run by PFY's?
What's the point in twice the speed if there is an unfair use policy?
Pointless...
Re: Maybe Not..
Mine too but I stuck with it and after a couple of months it was better than ever. T-Mob have had good 3G for about 2 months now in my bits of London.
Nah
Why would they want it? There are countries in Europe about to rip it's guts out for DPA violations.
TL:DR
I read the first chapter of this rant. Clearly the Prof has something or someone to protect.
Re: DRM Encourages Piracy
Same, even with the xxl price tag I was gonna buy it but as soon as I heard about the DRM it stopped being a game I would pay so much for.
It must be made offline capable.
Air filters
Us cyclists also remove a large number of fine particulates from the air you breathe by trapping them in our lungs. Come the revolution motorists will be attached to their exhausts to act as air filters too. ;P
Rubbish
No one wants to download X factor rubbish?
TL:DR
Yawn... Can't we just have the facts in a nice little table?
This is not about phones
Unless the phone is running an Intel chip. Wine is x86 only for obvious reasons.
Four in the morning!

Re: So, nothing legal is getting close to ThePirateBay yet.
CORRECT! TPB has the best service of the three.
The exclusive deals are the problem, some stuff will be on one and the rest on the other. The chasing of more money rather than more audience appears to be the motivation.
Love Film is lacking in stream-able content whenever you find something good it's only available on DVD. I prefer Netflix as it doesn't get my hopes up only to crush them by saying I have to 1, pay more and 2, wait for a DVD to get lost in the post.
Posted in Review: Google Nexus 4
Re: Supports the QI Standard
The Nokia charge mats don't supply enough current and result in charging switching off and on, off and on.
The Maxell works well on my Nexus4 and the battery life is great. 30% remaining most evenings.
Re: Especially
Yup, Freeview will work perfectly on any 625 line TV if you can connect it, you can even get Freeview HD boxes that down convert to an RF output. :D
Re: That's the price you pay...
Totally agree. You'll be moaning about the cost of travelling to London by train next!
If you want better speeds try BE internet, they let you change the speed profile yourself.
Newham Council!!!
Shit, I've just installed 2012 of five servers, will they be as much as a disaster as Newham Council now?? Will they start evicting people from the Carpenters Estate? Will they buy super expensive chandeliers and facial recognition systems that don't work???? Tell me now!!
No
Show us we can trust you with this power, then we will think about it... The Anti-Terrorism act was massively miss-used.

Re: It's got a lot of memory...
The author must be from the Marketing dept.
He should have his pay cut after releasing the iPad mini, what a turd!
Absent
Sinofsky was also absent from the Windows 8 launch, after showing it off for months I found that a bit strange at the time. I guess we know why now.
Overpriced Apple dealers
I'm surprised they lasted this long.
Re: Howexactly is this an iPad clone?
It's a clone because the specs are way behind the competition, the lowres screen seen in this and the ipadmini would be laughed at by the likes of HTC, Motorola and Samsung.
On the other hand it's not a clone because the price actually matches the specs.
Pointless
Does anyone spend more than 5 mins on a tube platform? This is only useful if there are delays, I wont subscribe.
Re: Apple lawsuit in...
If rounded corners can be patented, then so can screen size right?! ;)
Re: iMuppets
Fucking hell, we are all here though aren't we.
Personally my reasons are that I wanted to read some comments against Apple, the company. The company that claims to have invented rounded corners, the company who take a 30% slice of apps sales, the company who still have that fugly striped background on their phones that OS9 used. The company who claimed Google had stolen their business by moving into the phone market.
The company who go to court rather than release a significantly better product.
DSG are cowboys, the sooner these box shifters go bust the better.
Re: Strange they didn't use Star Trek - the devices are even called "PADD"
PADD "used as early as the 22nd century and well into the 24th century." Apple will argue that the PADD doesn't yet exist and must therefore be based on the iPad.
@ Neil McAllister
I'm sure you are very good at marketing and percentages but perhaps no so much at tech.
Let me explain something.
ICS has higher hardware requirements. Put simply, it is recommended that the device has 1GB or RAM rather than the 512MB required by Gingerbread and previous versions. This means ICS will never come to most devices out there. Therefore your article is pure marketing guff.
Gingerbread will be the legacy cut off, get used to it.
Apple and Koh follow the same motto
Apple and Koh follow the same motto and it isn't "Don't be evil".
I'm gonna install Linux on my Mac mini.
In the pudding?
You mean in the eating.
Also... This is great! :D
FFS
Apple didn't invent the tablet PC, perhaps the rights owners of Star Trek should get themselves to Germany!
As for the design, it's a tablet, what the hell else is it supposed to look like? Should Moses be in court too??! (I accept that Moses is a fictional character)
Posted in BBC mulls seizing the wheel of Local TV
They really don't want this to happen
Why use a system of bidding that collapsed the last network of local TV stations in to one big fat pointless national TV station...
Surface: Table, Intel or Arm
How dumb are MS?! They already have a product with the name Surface. So now have three very different products all called Surface.
The table top surface.
The crippleware ARM tablet
The power hungry Intel tablet
ICT
ICT. Does anyone outside of the public sector ever use that name?
Don't teach them MS, teach them the fundamentals so they understand something beyond "I have to click here".

Re: Pretty sure the dreamcast controller didn't have a screen
Also I'm pretty sure they aren't calling it "Mario Wii U console".
Outside of London
So what are the chances of this happening outside of London, 0%, why? Deregulation has allowed buses to be a profit making business, in London the buses are run by private companies but they are scrutinised over their costs and profits and they don't set the fares.
If you want cheaper and better out there, follow London. Buses aren't for making a profit.
Re: Bollox to the wifi
That challenge was by Ken years ago, it was for cooling the station platforms rather than trains.
It was won and the system was trialled at Victoria, they pumped groundwater around heat exchangers and out into the sewers to remove heat (a very elegant system as they only needed to add heat exchangers to the existing pumping system), it wasn't expanded by BoJo, he's far more interested in covering everything in adverts for very little return.
Re: "Monopoly" ??
Yes, it is a Monopoly, the last time I looked McDonalds and Wetherspoons were mostly above ground with some kind of mobile data service also available.
Erm...
But what exactly is a 'cloud identity and access control suite' and will it be as bad as their anti-virus?
By boring car ads you mean..
Those car ads where the driver is free to speed along winding roads with wonderful views and not another car on the road.
I've always seen those ads as a home goal for the car companies, the landscape and views would be so much nicer without that twat blaring music and speeding through it... Perhaps that view is spreading.
Change the record...
Orlowski clearly watches too much TV...
Posted in Viewsonic Viewpad 10e tablet
Not as good as the Advent Vega
Seems like a step back in the budget tablet releases.
As for 'wall-warts' and 'ipads', everything needs charging and everything is used differently by different users.
My Advent Vega pisses over your ipad when it comes to not paying for Angry Birds. ;)
Produce a better product, if enough people are returning the game so quickly it's not a good game.
Here's why!
Coz Windows on Arm doesn't run everything does it. Android does tho... Also this gets around the Signed Kernel issue. ;)
Fuck Apple
They are using a corrupt patent system that grants patents regardless of prior art and they need to be controlled. End of.
