What a joke this voting is.
If there hadn't been links in this article I doubt I would have found the place to vote. Once at the correct place voting still didn't work in Opera or Chrome, I could only get it to work in Firefox.
Surely the World's first stored program electronic digital computer should be included.

I always thought it was the responsiblilty of parents to keep their offsprings safe, seems that's an old fashioned veiw!
Wonder if this trimming of the fat will get ICS onto UK Xoom tablets before the next decade.
Let's face it, the Greens are against all forms of alternative power. They don't like wind farms because they spoil the view, they don't like off shore wind farms because they disrupt the marine eccology.
They will be happy when we all go back to the stone age, live in small groups (so no travel) and keep warm and cook using fire.
Oh, hang on, that won't work becase burning stuff puts more CO2 up there.
Re: Vertical turbines?
So why are there no vertical wind turbines?
I agree with all the points Phil raises.
Re: $249 = £159
You did include duty and VAT in that price didn't you Cuddles
Why only O2 & Vodafone?
Virgin have their own virtual mobile service (T-Mobile I believe) and some sort of agreement with Orange, so why only O2 & Vodafone on Virgin aircraft?
So where's the vomit icon?
Only watched the video 1/3 through before feeling the need to talk on the big white phone.
So glad I'm of the age of 'not understanding'.

Only just talking about Skylon, it's 61 years old and was the centrepiece of the 1951 Festival of Britain!
I'll get my zimmer frame
"The NAO says the DWP should learn from its problems" how many times have we heard this about a failed gov IT project and how many times have we seen it reported that those lessons have been implemented?
No wonder tax payers don't think they get value for money.
Just ordered one and received a confirmation email that the order is being processed although, like others, the 10% off code did not work :(
Doesn't look like it will be £200 if this is the same tablet

Another part of the Viewsonic web site says that the tablet comes with both Win7 and Android
Dreaming
That one day
they will employ staff who care about data security
encryption will be the norm
they will 'learn from this event'
And that goes for other Government departments
But I won't hold my breath.
Full coverage
System11, you missed out one use of average speed cameras. Those 'enforcing' a 50MPH limit over a whole County because a number of bikers think they are Barry Sheen and commit unintentional suicide.
Snap
Ooo, that sounds just like the place I used to work for!
Yes minister
But Maude reassured Elphicke that whatever it is the government is spending, it intended to spend less.
Has he been reading the old scripts from 'Yes Minister'?
Confused
Well confirmation that my brain is scrambled, 2 were turning clockwise while the right hand one was turning anti-clockwise!

GP Legends
GP Legends by Papyrus I think beats all these, still have it on my PC. Also, tucked away in the loft is my Amiga 1200 with Geoff Crammond's original GP.
I was considering this title either for the PC or PS3 but with all the negative comments I think I will leave it until it's in the budget bin.
Only just got the PS3, how does anyone play racing games with the default controller and what's the point of the motion sensors in the sixaxis controllers if no game uses them!
WTF
Why would a white iPhone be more difficult to produce than a black one????????
those manuals
My abiding memory of Haynes manuals was if it took 3 pages to described an operation it would take about 15 minutes to do. If it was a one line description the time taken would be 3 hours!!!
I have seen the Vulcan at many an airshow and have always been impressed but probably the best sight was 5 in formation over its birthplace when it was retired from service.
