No
Its just the whole infrastructure slowly collapsing.
This is happening all over, failures, outages etc.
Just goes to show what a mess legal systems that relate to EU law are in.

Be honest, this is because China is becoming too expensive and labour here is cheaper!
In another few years, they'll be thinking of opening one here in the UK, we have the perfect market for them, of artificially held down labour costs.

It's just a shame
That Governments will just take it on the chin, condemn the perpetrator but then do absolutely nothing to change things.
But the biggest fail is that after abuses have been highlighted the voter could change things but instead continues to sleep walk.
And still Apple products will be better designed and built, but so long as Amazon provides functional Tablets at a low cost who will care!
Posted in Ten... PC games you may have missed
Having looked at theses games and having never played them I really can't see that I have missed anything.
So
I go on holiday to get away from email, phones, work and all technology.
Leaving it all behind is like being born again. The only decisions I have to make is where to eat and what to drink, and I don't need tech for that.
Anyone notice how most of the comments on El Reg
Are put on here during working hours?
I smell desperation in the air! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If this is true then either he will
Agree that no extradition takes place after a nudge and wink from the Home Secretary just to get rid of the problem.
Or
They want him gone on the first flight....
So what is it to be?
Might as well ask my window cleaner for a verdict, he'd probably give a better depiction.
500-1000 aps, who the hell has that many on their iPad? Is it even possible or are we going to see a big memory increase in these devices?
Blurred videos? That about accounts for over 80% of the content.
Sadly
The next judge may be more pliable!
And so
And so Grasshopper, the Internet begins its decline.

Re: How much ?
32GB one will set you back....... £275 as reported in a UK computer mag review.

Sod the ultra books.
They won't
They won't bother trying to sue him or go for the patent attack as he has no money.
He is in the perfect situation.
The bottom line is this, the Apple 7" tablet will arrive, it's on it's way.
However, it won't be 7" it will be 7.9" that way the company stay true to the Jobs doctrine that 7" tablets are no good.
Alternatively, there is the possibility that the 7" tablet will not be bought out and in fact the new iPhone will bridge the gap with a larger screen.
However, the speculation and sneaky leaks, the what ifs and the deliberate secrecy policy do Apple appear to get up everyone's nose.
It seems that in the US
It seems that in the US there are a lot of unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wounds, apparently more than intentionally inflicted.
This is of course not down to the fact there is the 'right to bear arms' or that the weapons themselves are dangerous. A firearm left on a table does not get up and shoot itself, something the gun lobby keeps stressing to the public.
No the real reason are all the idiots that buy the damn things and sadly in the US there are a lot of idiots.
It took me
It took me three years to work out the ribbon, it'll take me five to find the icon!
Great
They will mess with this and cause untold irritation, where's this gone where's that gone....
Advertisers are
Getting wise to this and unless Facebook address this problem they will leave in droves.
No one likes being ripped off.
Can Facebook afford to ignore it, especially as it's income comes from advertising.
The Surface is still in fantasy land, maybe when it appears it will challenge the iPad......
Naaah won't ever happen because it is trying to be toooo many things at once.
What do you expect with transparency?
It's like walking into a fog bank.
These
Are the people with 'very large aerials!'

The floating around 'will you click to accept the cookie' banner that most sites including El Reg use could be used for nefarious purposes could it not.

Re: "We're all doomed!" but...........
not too many IT and telecoms systems to go down through earlier history though.
Yes but not being able to access you email for an hour or accessing your Facebook page is neither here or there. We survived without computers and IT for thousands of years.
Now we have it, it has made us soft.

But only after we have checked all the data we want to share with you.

No confusion, just illusions that you can win big money on Internet Gambling.

Excuses, excuses, excuses, excusing poor performance.
I will say nothing
For fear of retribution!
Re: hardcore pornography, Klu Klux Klan, and online gambling sites
Yes and it took 9/11 to show what terrorism is really all about when it happens at home.
For thirty years the US allowed Noraid to collect donations to buy weapons that killed people in Northern Ireland
The supply of weapons during the Iran Iraq wars
The supply of weapons during the Russian invasion of Afganistan
The Supply of weapons to South American Countries
They certainly don't come with clean hands.

Re: what could change my mind
Nothing
Big Brother says
You will do as I say, not do as I do!
Another example of the school yard bully trying to get his way.
Sadly there is a 'I'm scared of you culture' so many Countries do more than is necessary to keep the US happy.
It is only when you confront the school yard bully that things will change.
Withdrawn not for content, but cos it was a crap game.
Re: UT?
I'll be shopping at Tesco, hope the tills don't go down because the queues will be impossible.
What do
Even two year old and three year old computers keep up with most of the software available today.
Unless this changes in a radical way why buy top tech just for the sake of top tech?
It goes to show that consumers have become more canny and see through the advertising spiel.
Maybe it will be a question of wether to return to the drawing board and stop thinking 'if we build they will buy'.
The consumer is a thinking entity not a lemming.

Just rebrand Microsoft to
Fantasy Island Productions.
A way to ensure people buy new phones, promise updates that never arrive, then say the updates are not compatible, so if you want the new OS splash out on a new phone.
Or
Make them wait so long for the update they give up and buy new.
That's marketing for you. Though I have a question, can you sue for loss of expectation or get your money back?

Re: Do this all the time
Yep and WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT they say
It was a bug
It was the new guy
It was the guy we sacked
It was a keyboard error
Accidentally over looked
And they never apologise or admit that they did it deliberately, because we all know THAT THEY DID.
As with
As with all information, the more information you store, the more you want and then the more you want becomes an obsession for control. Look at the local councils as an example.
The downside for them will be that there will be so much, so so so much information that it will be impossible to sift through. Eventually the amount of information is so great, there is overload and it becomes useless.
Sadly
There will be an appeal, and an appeal and an appeal, until they get what they want, then there will be an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal and an appeal.............
