Re: Quite so, and it blows their sanctimonious piffle sky high

Likely Steve Jobs got cancer from his time on the production line at Atari, like several others. His genius is to shift the production line elsewhere.

April Fool's Joke?

This is the guy who's in charge of the PS3 which has been completely neglected 4 years in a row, part of the cabal that has shrunk Sony to nothing, and now we hear he's being promoted April 1st? Surely its a good joke. There really is a plan to turn around Sony this century?

Jokes aside, my sympathies to those injured by some insensitive expats,

Is there no 0-day warez on it?

Re: Readiness index?

Networking is practically a monopoly, and Canada will be ready for a modern internet experience when Rogers says it will be.

TEPCO high energy sports drink -now with Strontium90!

--- Powered by TEPCO ---

TheReg's talent for understatement is really being stretched on this Fukushima story.

The cost to Japan's economy is only one or two trillion bucks, its nothing really.

Huawei doth protest too much, methinks

Too much outrage, definitely. Who's doing their PR on this, Timothy Geithner?
