Microshaft... the plot you have lost.

Outlook - A shabby version of gmail.

Skype - Can't stand it!!! WTF was wrong with Messenger???

Office 2013 - One system wonder subscription model with no new features of note.

So, Google came up with an excellent search algorithm, developed it, advertised it, gained the trust (to an extent) of it's user base and climbed to the top of it's class while all the other search providers scoffed and sat on their laurels.

Now, when these former giants of the internet search world are pathetic shadows of their former selves, they think it's unfair that Google advertises the products it built on it it's own success.

This is a real 'toys-out-of-pram' moment.

Atheist. So technically incorrect.

This is a copy and paste, because I have popcorn in the microwave...

--- snip ---

It is time for us to recognize as a society that there is no such thing as an atheist. Let me help you understand why this is the case.

Do you believe in Leprechauns? Probably not, because Leprechauns are imaginary. Yes, there are lots of books, movies and fairy tales dealing with Leprechauns. People talk about Leprechauns all the time. Leprechauns even have a popular brand of breakfast cereal. But that does not mean that Leprechauns exist.

We know that Leprechauns are imaginary. Why? Because there is no evidence for their existence. Despite all the publicity Leprechauns get, normal people dismiss storybook creatures like Leprechauns as myths, and rightly so.

If you do not believe in Leprechauns, what are you? Are you an aleprechaunist? Of course not. You are normal. People who do not believe in Leprechauns are completely normal.

Wait, whut?

"A 'final' office action does not signal the end of reexamination at the USPTO, much less the end of consideration of the patentability of the claims under reexamination. Rather, 'finality' is primarily a procedural construct that limits the right to amend claims and introduce evidence as a matter of right in reexamination."

Da Fuq did I just read?

Do they have The Architect from the Matrix working for them?

If so, I'm taking both pills... and grabbing some popcorn.

American Intelligence - That old contradiction.

They finally caught him from a FaceBook update which read...

"Heading back to China with more secrets from those US Capitalist Dogs. LOL!"

...and the fact he was carrying a dangerous looking bottle of mineral water.

The other evidence was circumstantial and missed by the authorities on several occasions.

Re: Or worse?

I agree. I picked up 2x Huawei Ascend G300 running Gingerbread for the Kids at Christmas.

Less than £100 each, upgraded both to official ICS and in many benchmarks outperforms kit twice it's price.

Even an old HTC Desire running Evervolv ICS still cuts the mustard as a decent Android Phone.

(once you sort out extending the system memory to an SD partitiion)

The wife's Samsung Fit I'm planning to upgrade shortly will probably have similar results.

You most certainly can teach on old phone new tricks.

TRUE STORY

I got a letter from VM yesterday warning about potential problems with a 115V PSU for my StupidHub.

It informs me to unplug the StupidHub, call them and they'll send me a new PSU.

Did anyone else get one too, or is this just their way of relieving network congestion by getting us all to disconnect?

$ony PS4: Made of fail.

Sorry, I have been a devoted $ony fanboi since the PS1. Owning a fat, slim and the same with the PS2 and the PS3. I didn't mind too much when they excluded PS2 titles from the PS3 (with the exception of my original release 60GB) but I won't be buying this pile of crap.

I rip selective Blu-Ray titles I own (not download) to watch on my media server and Cinavia has killed this device as a media server. But the killer for me is an incompatibility with PS3 games some of these are £50 a pop for Jobs sake!!!

Filling up my XMB with pay-to-use video apps I never wanted (and can't remove) and a complete inflexibility when it comes to what the user wants sees me heading for the exit on this release.

But I think the biggest con is it doesn't matter how pretty it looks, if the gameplay isn't there then what's the point. Yet another COD or FIFA??? Look at that high resolution blood, wasn't that worth spending all that cash on exactly the same shit in a different package? I think not.

The industry seems rife with forcing what they want on us and not what the customer needs.

THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!!!

Re: broke?

If they don't allow PS3 backwards compatibility and remove Cinavia with the PS4 they'll be struggling again at the end of the next business year.
