You keep spelling scientist wrong, "boffin" is not how you spell scientist.

P2P veterans sue the Cloud ... for copying their stuff

Every post I read on the register seems to be some variation of tard, I feel like I'm reading tech news from a small child who has learnt a new word. (and then repeated it for months)

It's not professional and it's not appropriate to take a slang word that describes those with mental or physical disabilities to gleefully write it into all your articles.

If you don't like the reality of piracy, fine, but clear your god damn act up, makes this blog look like a snidey little trying to get off on swearing and using bad language to get that moment of attention

WTF are... connected appliances?

Needs more thought

A fridge is probably the most pointless thing to add connectivity too people just aren't thinking hard enough

Why not have lightbulbs that have customised usage patterns, so they will fade during the day and brighten at night, and capable of detecting smart phones in a room to turn the light off when a smart phone leaves customisable from a web UI

Why not have WIFI/IR/bluetooth/NFC whatever connected hinges on doors that are capable of opening or closing doors, have the door tied to your smart phone, you approach the door smartphone in pocket it opens

Why not have connected, windows/blinds allowing you to adjust the light in a room according to the time of day

Why not have web connected showers/baths allowing you to fill the tub ready for when you're home

Why not have some bloody vision, we're living in the most exciting time in the history of man

It annoys me these kind of comments that oh it's all been done, we've got nothing to look forward to, We can't have the future we wanted, It's stupid backward thinking. I swear if I had access to a small business in this sector your house in 10 years would be like the fucking Enterprise-E
