MY
Panasonic microwave lasted 11 years before it died.
Can we expect the same build quality here?
IF...
They change your mobile contract from all you can eat to a limited fair use service here in the UK then you should have the right to keep the phone and cancel the contract.
I cannot understand why these thing do not come under unfair contract terms when unilateral decisions are made without negotiation.
No other industry allows it.

THE PRODUCERS AND THE STUDIOS..
scream out over copyright every chance they get,
Yet now we see them sneaking and conniving over how to get round copyright so THEY don't have to pay.
Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
I DON'T CONDONE THE THREATS
but what does he expect ?
Let the press dig deep and we will see what turns up!

THEY REALLY....
look like quality products!
Will there be an iPhone app for them?
Couple that with the iVibe and you're away!
LOL....
I wonder how much that cost them to develop?
Re: They're right...
This is not a surprise is it!
IF...
You look at it from the front it has four corners!
But I just can't see it as a pad, and as to resting it on your knee?
Still, it is all about the NAME, not the device.
Hey Ho!
I STOPPED....
I Stopped downloading apps for the simple reason that the developers are asking for too much information.
Why do they need to know where I am, why do they need access to sms, why do they need to....... Contacts list.
TO COLLECT DATA AND SELL IT ON FOR ADVERTISING
IF EVERYONE stopped downloading apps they would soon change things. I would love to have examples of the information they take off you because, believe me you wouldn't be downloading half what you do now.
Rant over.
EASY TO BLAME THE PARENTS...
if you have no children of your own or you are sitting with a smug self satisfied middle class smile on your face.
That smile won't last because your children will be running rings round you and your tech ability.
However, if the permissions really made it clear and gave an example of WHAT they collected about you then MAYBE we could make a better informed decision.
DOES THIS MEAN...
That when you purchase a song or an album, you have the rights to all mediums you play the songs through.
APPLE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE RE...
will suck the dried blood out of a rotting corpse if they think there has been a patent infringement, they'd even do it hands free while receiving a message.
I've said it before and will say it again.
DEAR MICROSOFT...
Please explain why there is not a standard licence price ACROSS THE WORLD?
With todays computers it would be easy enough to build in Exchange rate mechanisms.
So why do you charge us so much more in the UK?
THE BAIT..
The bait used to lure new customers, "unlimited data".
A few months later they cap it with 'fair use' or reduce or limit the amount you can have, because hidden in the small print, it says they can.
Then we all look shocked and surprised!
WOW....
The European Court had actually come up with a common sense decision!!!!!
I need to sit down I feel all dizzy.
COULD BE GOOD FOR...
small businesses, should be cheaper than lugging a card machine from location to location,
BUT
I'm sure the banks will think up all sorts of charges for the privilege to use it. I bet call cost connections to your account will cost you and they'll charge for you to receive it as well.
A future cash cow for the banks.
Posted in Satnav blunders blamed for £200m damages
My satnav
Took me from Winsford to Northwich via a road that narrowed to a sunken lane wide enough for a small car to a gated railway crossing that had not been opened in twenty years.
Actually, I didn't get as far as the gate, a coach had got stuck and they were towing it out.

THERE APPEARS TO BE.......
a lot of concern amongst the internet security companies that there will come a time when Apples walled garden will be breached.
The consensus is that it will be breached, the danger will be that many devises have no AntiVirus etc installed because users believe what they use is totally secure.
The breach when it comes could ne catastrophic for many users.
SO...
They'll just make more fake 'ipids' and flog them as the real thing, made alongside the real thing in the backroom of the foxconn factory that does not exist.
Problem solved.
Apparently the factory has a swimming pool.
BRIT TECHIES?
WHEN they had started to outsource to India?
Hmmmm
Is this why 1,000,000 young people (under26) are unemployed here?
Am I being political, ironic or cynical, you decide.
I STILL NEED TO USE.....
CAPS, otherwise downvoters won't recognise me.
They would
Suck the dried blood out a a rotting corpse if it was a perceived patent infringement.
Re: Double privacy fault
How about a yes or no box on anything that implies or suggests the sharing of private information?
Instead of hiding it on page 6799 out of 8000 pages of terms and conditions.
AS MOST STARS HAVE NO.....
personalities anyway outside of what is given to them in a film script, what would they actually register?
FINALLY FROM ME...
On this subject...
Does Apple know that China have a vast nuclear arsenal?
I'VE just realised....
I'm being nice..... To Apple.
APPARENTLY
BMW sued over a Chinese company making Fake X5's and lost (top gear if it can be believed) so the rule of law is not quite what it seems in China.
But of course if you speak out...... You get locked up..... For a long time.
It is unlikely to go Apples way.
Or maybe
It's just a way to get an iPad without paying.
Is that cynical?
YET
The fakes are still on sale!
The rule of law is not applicable here, I'm surprised Apple haven't got that yet.
Wrote to your MP?
Did you really expect anything to come out of it?
NOT JUST...
You in NSW, we are past masters of this crap here in the UK.
Any Gov IT project here over runs, costs billions more than anticipated and fails to work correctly.
The project is usually decided by taking the cheapest quote and then overseen by politians who have no idea, advised by by experts (additional cost) who don't know one end of a USB lead from another and paid for by you who has to fund the short fall.
In many cases, the project fails in delivery, the company involved in the project sacked, then paid out billions in compensation for their failure!
Why are we no longer surprised.

it seems
Discrete is no longer applicable.
The bigger and more garish the headphones you wear on your commute to work the better.
But that's fine, it makes you easier to rob.
a simple solution to this problem...
Anyone who has been watched looked at investigated checked on THEN
Found innocent, wrong person etc should then be informed that checks have been made on them.
When 6 million people in the UK find this out there will be an uproar.
Then these agencies will be a little more circumspect about trawling your details.
DAS BILD
Perhaps?
GOSH TURTLE....
you must have done something bad in a previous life to have all that s*it happen to you!
I sympathize.
YOU MUST BE OUT TO GET THE....
Biggest downvote record outside of criticising Apple products.

And have to buy something then don't make it a too.complicated gadget like a smart phone. It just causes confusion for them.

Posted in Space: 1999 returning to TV?
BLAKES 7!!!!!
Having revisited it I can say that when I first watched it many moons ago my standards were poor and expectations were low enough to think it was cool.
Now.....
Having matured with high standards and great expectations I really does look c**p.
I blame Star Wars as the catalyst to my expectations.
By the way, what did happen to Blake in the end? Was he killed by the poorly made scenery on the film set?
WHATS WITH ALL....
The deleted posts, or isn't the Anonymous check box working....
No it's not!
WHY IS
Obama being bland predictable and cheesy such a surprise to anyone?
SHEDS JOBS...
to pay the copyright fines to Microsoft for bootlegging all those "recovery discs"
Or
Am I being cynical?
No
Political correctness here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS
Being ironic as the last BIG update did nothing for my wifes HTC after the update.
Anyone know what real world changes there were?
NEVER
if past experience is anything to go by, that why I but my handsets now, to avoid the crapware.
I know it will be good, but
When will the Android OS be secure against malware.
Interesting article in this months PC Pro, on Android security. "Eset researchers are now seeing hundreds sometimes thousands of Android malware data samples each week"
Now we need security apps as standard?
Simbu
Go on admit it, you DO work for Scan you enthusiast you!
IT MIGHT....
Make it easier to return faulty goods!
BUT...
Why not now, why wait?
