Instagram back-pedals in face of user outrage

LarsG
Meh

I wouldn't

Believe this lot over anything, if they walked in and told me it was raining outside I would check for myself.

They use this as a softening up technique, then backtrack but the real terms and conditions will be softened to what they wanted in the first place.

Its a sales technique, hit them with a high price, then offer a discount, only the discount never existed, it was always going to be sold at the 'discount price' anyway.

I say f**kem and watch them bleed during the exodus.

Twitter passes 200 million monthly users

LarsG
Meh

200,000,000

accounts of the lives of people who think there every move is of interest to the rest of us when in fact they spout inane, useless, meaningless, miserable, boring, brain destroying drivel in an attempt to justify their self important role in society.

Their motto, 'I tweet therefore I am,' gives them justification for foisting their misery on the rest of us.

Facebook: 'No merit' to claim we broke German privacy law

Re: How would they know?

Yes but you still have to follow the law if the land.

iPhone 5 launches in China, late and expensive. Chinese say 'meh'

LarsG
Meh

China produce so many mobile phones, every shape and size, 3 sim, 4 sim phones with technology to match, 1,2,3,4 and now probably 5 core mobiles. They are all fit for purpose and if you want an iphone get a copy at a tenth of the price.

That's why no ones bothered anymore. Oh and you might just get turned down for a job if you have one.

LarsG
Meh

She is obviously an unlikable person that she so annoyed the jury they stuffed her three time.

Lady, get over here and have your case hear in a UK court, it will be a £5,20 fine per song but with the added bonus of getting a free flight home when being extradited. You can then claim in humane treatment and live happily for the rest of you life on benefits and have all you housing costs paid for!

Re: Thank God

At least living in my leafy northern county with its intermittent mobile signal, wifi, 3G and limited broadband when I do take my mobile phone out of my pocket in the middle of the town to make a call I have a 95% less chance of being mugged for it.

LarsG
Meh

Thank God

This has only been foisted on London, whose population I have nothing in common with and lack any sense of sympathy for.

Living in the North has its benefits, we still use real money, have poor Internet access and variable strength mobile phone signals. The fresh air is an added bonus as is conversation when shopping or travelling on a bus.

I will not be moving house for this.

'Kids' apps STILL siphoning too much info from mobes' - FTC boss

LarsG
Meh

Kids aps, I never download them if there are in ap purchases, or where they produce ad banners, you'd be surprised what can appear.

Kids aps should not harvest any information. Why would they need to know my 3 year old is using my tablet, what kind of ads could they possibly want to show her?

Blame blame blame

Rely on a sat nav, even in this country satnav are not infallible.

The weak point of every satnav is not the programming or the the operating system is the brain dead human using it. How many times have drivers followed a satnav yet ignored all road signs, safety advice and got stuck, driven into rivers or canals and even the sea, gone the wrong way, got stuck in tunnels, gone on to railway lines and even frozen rivers?

And yet if they had opened their eyes..... I always carry a map as back up, no batteries to run out and no signal to lose. Don't blame Apple, Tom Tom, Garmin or any of the others, blame the idiot using it.

Data no longer anonymised 'for the general good'. Private firm enters agreement with Government agencies to share data with all agencies including local authorities. New legislation introduced to sell data to any firm that lodges a request to see it.
