Re: "BBC’s iPlayer arrived on Symbian first"

I was using it in 2008/9 on Nokia 5800Xpress. Downloading was the killer app for me, sitting on trains, planes etc catching up on TV which has only recently been available on iPhone etc. was first on N96

Still able to download on my N8 though streaming has gone but never used it much anyway.

Though mostly do that on my iPad now

Still don't know what to replace N8 with! Waiting to see what the summers PureView on Windows will be..... May get an 808 before that

Re: Good!

You sound like a bundle of laughs, think most would hate to work for/with a miserable selfish spiteful old witch like you sound. Though I'm sure there's some concentration camps somewhere in the world that could do with your touch.

Spoken like a true raving nutter

The problem with right wing nutters like you LarsG is that you condemn anything that doesn't serve up your jaundiced, paranoid twisted view of the world as left-wing-bias.

The UK broadcasters (BBC, ITV/N, Sky) do a damn fine job of informing the public without being too partisan. They even go out of their way to give a platform to people of your ilk to give a "balanced" point of view, whereas Joe public would put you in a padded cell!

If you actually analyse the BBC political output, it often tips towards the right in its contributors. For example

Question Time has far more people of right wing persuasion then left - do some research here, not the Daily Mail either look at how many and who is on the panel. Right wing journalists like (the awful) Peter Hitchens and (frankly bonkers) Melanie Philips outnumber left wing ones by 2:1.

Andrew Neil presents another flagship politics program, hardly a leftie or even establishment.

Funny how all politicians from Harold Wilson to the modern day have criticised the BBC and ITV/N as being biased, must mean it's doing its job fairly well if it gets under their skin.

It obviously gets under yours too, so you're in great company of the liars, cheats, war criminals and charlatans that have had power in the UK both political and economic.

Suggest you switch off your TV, read the Daily Heil and blog along with other muppets like Guido Fawkes

Re: Not Helpful

tough shit. the EDL are a bunch of hate-filled, knuckle-dragging numpties. Their activists are the same thugs and shit-bags that support and work for the BNP/NF etc.

Those that don't support a harmonious law abiding society and preaching hate, causing violence, fear and division have no rights to complain about their rights. Hope they get the sort of justice they deserve - fuckers.

BTW this includes anyone in the above category, not just EDL.

Anyway back to the matter at hand. Ha-bloody-ha!

Re: Extras

Mr C Hill, you beat me to it.....

Certainly makes up for the useless bastards at my local McDogBurger's where the servings are usually wrong, incomplete or generally stingy. "I thought I ordered large fries, not child portion in a large box"

I worked in McBastards a long time ago and I could probably still do a better job than the useless morons in that branch.

Anyway, the MD of the Welsh outlet is obviously a c*** I hope the news of this locally affects his profits significantly and then the manager can be fired for gross misconduct of bringing the firm into disrepute - also in the manual. RTFM you tosser!

Re: Mayor Bloomberg belongs in prison

"just like your paranoid ramblings - nutter!"

"Name one thing which I said, which was paranoid, and gives you the right to call me nutter. I will source every motherfucking thing I said."

I'm sorry, I should have said paranoid deluded nutter.

Patriots my arse, more fucking nutters that'll beleive anything other nutters tell them. You're all paranoid.

Yes there's corruption and misinformation in the world and the US is top of the league with it's bent media Fux News etc but there isn't an illuminati conspiracy. There's self serving incompetance such as the Patriot Act but that's supported by the same trailer-trash mentality anti-fed/jew/muslim/mexican/catholic/lefty moron that quotes the right to bear arms being the solution to all the ills

Re: neat

why do they need to bother - most of us already have at least one mobile phone which they can use and also a tracking device can be placed on a car if they really are interested in you.

Couldn't agree more

The Lumia 900 on Android 4.0 would have been a force to contend with, don't think Samsung would have their top-dog status. As for the up and coming N808, at least it's on Symbian and not Windoze but on Android.... a killer piece of kit as well.

Re: For a leftist organisation the Right sure do run it

dumbers, dumbers. Lefty interviewers?

John Humphries, Jeremy Paxman, Andrew Marr to name but a few.

I seem to remember Greg Dyke resigning over a run in with Blair and Campbell.

Yep the BBC gets it wrong sometimes and mostly it is too timid with all governments but nonetheless it holds politicians and others to account along with Channel 4 news and Adam Bolton on Sky.

Just because it doesn't agree with your jaded view of the world.doesn't make it biased. If you don't like it just in back to you middle England lemon-sucking cave and read the Daily Heil or Heil on Sunday. With Messrs Hitchens, Philips, LittleJohn and Moir etc enough to satisfy all puritanical, homophobic, racist, Islamophobic, red under the bed paranoia you have.

I remember when.....

...when Chernobyl was blamed to radioactive sheep in the UK. Nowt to do with Sellafield/Windscale of course. Self-cooking lamb is good for me.

Anyway why can't we have those detectors in the UK - we'd be able to track down all those dodgy radium dumps around the UK or where they just buried early nuclear stuff somewhere remote like Woolwich Common (now that would explain all the genetic mutants that live there!)

Hmmm Nuke disaster - good days to bury bad news and blame them for all the dodgy stuff in your own back yard!

Re: metricating the auto world

Bollox to driving on the right - just because some french general decided to be awkward and march on the right, doesn't mean we should. Being on the left was good enough for the Romans, it is good enough for me, along with aqueducts, medicine, roads..... blah blah.

Japan, Oz, NZ, SA, India, Pakistan, and umpteen other countries still and will continue to drive on the left.

Don't even bother mentioning Sweden's conversion, they drove LHD cars, so it was easy for them - bit of a stupid idea to drive on the left with LHD cars!

WTF?

WTF?

What's that got to do with the price of milk?

Utter bollocks too.

Don't forget Thatch was instrumental in preventing BT wiring up the nation with fibre to every household, at their expense! Think how different the landscape would look now for services.

All those people that still get a shite service over copper must thank her so much for that.

Re: srsly?

Though I agree that the new 701 with Belle FP1 is good, I'm very happy with Belle on my N8.

Still one of the best camera's around.

Just the right size and avoids being a slab

still the first and best multi-tasking OS

and a battery-life that makes most other smart-phone users weep - even with a screen-saver. that's on all the time, live widgets etc etc.

Not to mention all the things it does that Android, IOS and Windoze just can't do even now.

Most annoying thing that I can't get - British Airways App for e-tickets. Saying that most other smart-phone users should take a paper one just in case they can't find a charge point!

Re: One huge problem

well don't use a camera phone then!

I get fantastic pictures from my N8 and can't wait for the 808!

Re: Where do they find the cash?

"They don't. They find a "bottom dwelling scum sucker" prepared to take it on a "contingency basis" for around 30% of any future payout."

How could they? Apple have all them types as their evil minions/patent trolls. Ah wait.... Apple will counter-sue; as bullying companies as a troll is their game :p

Re: Of those 2,500 US IP addresses....

You beat me to it JetSetJim,

Working by US rules, the UK is in it's right to ask for the extradition of these "hackers".

Re: Thankfully I've got a Nokia

And a phone that truly multi-tasks with a decent battery life. And if you've got an N8, still the best camera too until the 808 comes out.

Oh it's a dead OS....... it's a fucking phone and I couldn't give monkey's for 98% of the shite in the App stores as the most useful ones are there anyway.

Re: The cost of living...

damn, I thought I'd be the first to make that observation/quip about Dave's dinners (takes hat off in deference)

I love the phrase "expected to save" where in reality it'll cost 5x that more and that'll exclude the litigation.

Re: Bad logic

Also a bit f***** rich from a company that chases others for copyright infringement as their fondleslab is a rectangle with a touch screen. Or that they swipe to unlock their phone and all the other shit that there's prior art for. Looks like trying to stifle or destroy competition is in their DNA.

Hope Apple gets taken to the cleaners on this one as by their standards, they've nicked someone else's idea.

New Labour? I think not, Edward Heath claimed Bliar was more right wing than him and as for the Prince of Darkness.

Dennis Skinner yes but he never claimed to be New Labour

whilst I normally deplore any prejudice, Creationists are a bit thick and therefore fair game; bit like shooting caged birds though. Actually that's not right as the caged birds are prevented from helping themselves.

Creationists are like pheasants on the road, too bloody stupid to get out of the way of my car, splat!!!

Too dim realise that they're on to a loser. Evolution has dealt them a flawed life.

Re: LOST IN TIME....

Shitty software development in both cases - you'd think that the LAS would be so much more careful after the 1992 debacle. DST is used across the world whether you like it or not and systems are designed to cope with it.

Where was their testing? Who the bloody hell is responsible for this software?

"Some defended Apple on the basis that it had no control over the pricing for third-party material from its online store"

Yeah right, what gullible fanboi's believe that tosh!

Sorry, good???? please have some examples.

There's far more examples of gutter journalism by it and it's dead Sunday stablemate.

It's poisonous treatment of tittle-tattle without regard for human dignity, truth, fairness, truth, facts, truth (again) makes it an odourous rag. It's high and mighty attitude about being a force for good is so lame.

I for one wouldn't lament it's demise, there are a few other titles that would be best to go the same way too.

cocknee

nah. Seen plenty of down votes on the tamest of ribbing.

cocknee

Surely some mistake

Wot not a single thumbs down on a "taking the piss out of fanboi" comments.

Not a single praise of the cult of Cupertino?

Usually there's plenty of them with their sense-of-humour bypass with paranoia at the scientologist levels for all dissent.

Have they run out of wi-fi in the coffee shops? Or is it just too early in the day and they haven't finished stoking each-others ego's, slabs, Jesus phones?
