Unfortunately..  

In Web wags stage IE 6 funeral

Thumb Down

Unfortunately, the IT departments of big corporation still seem to think otherwise. IE6 will cause many gray hairs for developers for years to come still.

Contract?  

In O2 just can't keep it up

I'm getting a bit fed up with this O2 service. I fail to get access to the 3G network in most places (and I live in London!) and when you do get access their data network fails.

I wonder if I can terminate my contract on the grounds of failure of O2 to fulfill their part of the contract, ie. provide the service as described?

Literature?  

In Dan Brown is most unwanted author says Oxfam

Brown and the others make the literature equivalent of Hello magazine.

You read it once (or not at all) and throw it away. If you have missed one, just ready the next one.

On the plus side..  

In O2 data fails, again

On the plus side.. when it does work you have access to the internet in at least 10% of the country.. if you're close to a city.. and the weather is nice.. and there's no leaves on the masts.

Battery drain  

In Apple patches Black Hat SMS vuln

Thumb Down

Is it me, or does the 3GS' battery drain a lot faster after installing this patch?

In UFO wind turbine prang site: Exclusive photos

You guys have too much time on your hands.

The new Europe  

In Google cedes Belgium to Germany

Scotland seems to have finally cracked as well.

Does that mean a bigger premier league soon?

Apple still does it  

In Easy iPhone 3G unlocking for $30?

Whether it's unlocking, iPhones, OS or hardware costs and Macs, Apple still manages to bring out the worst in people, not in the least the complete Eradication of any sense of humour or a proper sense of self-deprecation or sarcasm. For many just possessing an iPhone seems to make even comprehensible reading a step too far.

Maybe they can look up on their Jezus phone what they need to answer next!

Perfect unlock  

In Easy iPhone 3G unlocking for $30?

I have found that not buying an iPhone in the first place is still the best way not to get tied to networks. Make you look less like a sad dick too.

Loved it!  

In Thais rate rat 'better than chicken'

Thumb Up

I have eaten rat in Belgium many years ago. Tourists came from all over Europe to eat it and the reason why was that it's absolutely delicious.. that and the fact the Belgians know how to make a stew. It tastes like a mix of chicken and rabbit btw.

Vote-rigging or not...  

In Ofcom investigates X-Factor debacle

..it's a bloody awful Christmas single,whoever got to sing it

Maybe..  

In Oracle sends bloke cardboard laptop

Maybe they're planning on selling licenses just for reading their documentation?

..or maybe cocaine prices have gone down or the marketing department's bonuses went up

How do these muppets get into politics?  

In MEP plans EU build ban on cars faster than 100mph

Oh wait.. I just answered my own question.

Yves Kurisaki

Thanks for all the crap!  

In Windows Live gets upgrade

Nice to see them piling on the junk but it would be nice to see the basics working first, like being able to send Japanese text between the old Hotmail and the new Live mail service without it coming out like line noise.

Or is that a paid-for service I've missed?

Was this an analogy?  

In 2012 Olympics logo debuts to whalesong

"..the logo is modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012.."

Did she mean it will get ten times bigger just like the Olympic budget is doing or will it provide a select group of graphic designers with an oversized pay cheque just like the construction of the Olympic facilities will stuff the pocket of a select few construction firms?

Whatever she meant I'm sure it will somehow benefit numerous locals for years to come and maybe bring us a step closer to world peace and the end of poverty... empty oral waffle tends to do that, or so they say.. I love that Olympic spirit!!!
