New patent will give iPhone screen interactive 3D

LarsG

Apple can patent anything they want to in the US

Including the inose picker attachment and the sneeze to dial app!

LarsG

NOT EVERYONE....

Can see properly in 3D, so will it also be produced in a 2D version.

Or is this just hopeful thinking?

Can you patent the impossible?

Space: 1999 returning to TV?

LarsG

OH

and let's hope it doesn't turn into a Hitch Hikers Guide/italian job/ Day of the Jackel kind of remake.

LarsG

I HOPE

it will be better than the original series. When it came out we all thought it was great, Sunday afternoon with Logans Run.

However, revisiting it a couple of years ago made me realise, DON'T GO BACK.

HTC wants a hug after glum Q1 estimates

LarsG

THEN PRODUCE...

A phone that out performs all the others and one you can update as soon as issues arise rather than waiting months

And

Futureproof it by upgrading it to new OS when available,

And

Make it pretty.

Parliament ponders £400,000 iPads-for-MPs plan

LarsG

PAPERLESS OFFICE...

they've been trying to flog us that since 1985, they still say print it off and sign it.

Ipads for MPs is just a vanity projects, let's be real here.

If they are issued to them it will be at taxpayers expense.

If they buy them they claim it back on expenses at taxpayers expense.

Win win for them.

However LET THEM HAVE THEM NOW...

Imagine, one being left on a train or in a taxi, or even better, no gadget is 100% secure so it will be a hackers paradise!!!!!

Anonymous get READY.

Chinese company demands $38m, 'apology' from Apple

LarsG

WHEN U CONSIDER....

a Chinese company copied the BMW x5 and sold it in China, BMW took them to court....a Chinese one..

And LOST! (top gear last night!)

What chance do Apple have?

Google and Facebook remove 'offensive' content from Indian sites

LarsG

CENSORSHIP...

Let no one criticise our actions for we are omnipotent, we rule you shall follow.

If you don't we will punish you.....

It is the slippery slope, getting steeper and steeper and steeper.

Access Denied....Access Denied....Access Denied.

Apple tells authors: All your books iBook files are belong to us

LarsG

SOUNDS LIKE.....

A Simon Cowell kind of contract tie-in, not something I'd sign without reading the small print.

The term 'got you over a barrel' springs to mind.

Apple kicks China's most popular browser out of iTunes

LarsG

NOT NECESSARY....

TO have a reason, as with all the small print

"we reserve the right to change....." Because they can,

but everyone uses that, not just Apple.

However,

And it would help if they had the decency to explain the reasons why they reject what they do.

They don't have to tell us about it, but they should tell those concerned.

Doctors sick of anonymous-coward NHS feedback commentards

LarsG

IT COULD ALSO BE A...

CLEVER by some practices to discredit legitimate complaints by branding them trolls as a whole.

What if a doctor took a dislike to you as a patient because you cost him too much in time and treatments. A way of making you go to another practice is by the doctor being unhelpful and rude and uninterested.

The patient would not complain under his name for fear of being branded difficult to the new practice.

Practices like low maintainance patients so before you brand every complainant a troll just remember that they may be the one with a legitimate grievance.

Why I'd pay Apple more to give iPad factory workers a break

LarsG

DO YOU....

think they would absorb the extra costs out of their already massive profits?

Or just put it on the price YOU AND I have to pay?

Will they then put 'FAIRTRADE' logos on the packaging?

Deep down you all know the answer.

Obama washes hands of O’Dwyer piracy extradition case

LarsG

WHAT A WALLY...

He is as two faced as they come, he tries to appease everyone to the point he says one thing to one person and another thing to the other person.

He wants his cake alright but from everyone.

These are the actions of weak wishy washy character, want to be friends with everyone yet will never make a stand.

Is this how he won the Nobel Peace Prize!

What a wally.

Millions face Megaupload data deletion by Thursday

LarsG

THEY BRING A BUSINESS TO ITS KNEES...

without any convictions. Now that IS justice.

It's a back door way of censorship. Freeze the funds, take years to go through the 'evidence', until finally it gets to court.

"The prosecution withdraws Your Honour, its a lack of evidence and its really just a civil matter actually."

"What about my business, you have ruined me!"

"we had sufficient evidence to look into it" said with smug smile.

Media groups propose anti-piracy 'code of practice' for UK search

LarsG

PERFECT.....

I'm sure someone on Facebook, Twitter or any other site would post the addy of where they have been to download 'that' film, music etc. So a quick Google search 'where TPB gone' will bring a multitude of answers.

Unless of course they shut the whole internet down .....

Can they really erase it?

T-Mobile hails first 'truly unlimited' smartphone tariff

Just like all the rest.

US entertainment lawyer casts doubt on Megaupload case

LarsG

HE WILL BE RELEASED...

Then a few months from now he will not be heard of again, the USA will contend that he has moved on or is keeping a low profile.

In the mean time he will be holidaying in a small cell in Morocco or Syria or Wherever, because we all know that rendition does not exist.

There is absolutely no truth in it at all!

At no time did any flights pass through UK airspace.

Good luck dotcom, you will need it.

Judges set timetable for McKinnon case resolution

LarsG

IF HE HAS COMITTED...

a crime here try him here, and I think that is the problem.

He would probably be aquitted if tried by a jury in this country as it should be, an opportunity in sticking two fingers up to the US for interfering in our judicial system.

This would cause untold problems with the 'special relationship' crap they keep feeding us.

Therefore they see the easier way out and send him on holiday.

If he goes, there will be an under the table agreement to keep him locked up while the trial takes place, then release him with a suspended sentence and undertaking that he does not touch a computer for a year or so.

Anything more than that we should tell them to get lost.

US lawmakers question Google over privacy policy

LarsG

I CAN'T BELIEVE....

that US lawmakers have got a problem with Google privacy when you consider that they snoop on everyone the world over.

If anything we need protection from to institutes of the good old US of A!

BT comes clean on Infinity modem 'upgrade'

LarsG

DO BT FAVOUR....

their own customers with regard to broadband speed? I'm always suspicious of this when during certain hours I have significantly reduced speed yet my neighbor who is with BT appears not to be affected.

I too have unlimited up to 8 which apparently is the max line speed here.

Google emails Virgin Media subscribers ... about privacy

LarsG

WITH SO MANY ...

People putting their whole live on the internet through social media, buying goods, joining forums, signing up for free email accounts, using broadband, owning a mobile phone etc.

WHY is it such a surprise when these things happen like a breech of privacy.

Not only will it happen but it will get worse to the point that the notion of privacy will cease to exist.

There is an answer, Pay cash, register nowhere, never go online, never fill in a form. Simple, or is it?

MPAA threat sparks White House petition for bribery probe

LarsG

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO...

how far you can shove the brown envelope up their a***s.

Politics is about lobbyists and self interests groups coming up with enough money to Buy The Vote.

It becomes self perpetuating, the more that is offered, the more that is expected, the more they want. On and on it goes.

Every now and again they investigate the bribery and corruption, find a scapegoat or find no evidence. Keeps the little people happy.

The catch, they are investigating themselves!

Survey: Android set to beat iOS in battle for coder love

MAYBE IN REALITY

it is a lot harder to pass the Apple quality control, not just because you have to have a Mac.

If you go the path of least resistance and choose the alternative, it's quicker though quality can suffer.

The downside is being told what you can and cannot have on your phone by someone who thinks he knows what is good for you.

German court shoots down patent gripe against Apple

LarsG

SATIRE.... YES

For goodness sake guys and gals get a sense of humour, you sound like a bunch of Germans at a comedy festival.

Crikey, I can't believe you've all gone and looked up the website to find the article.

What is it with the defensiveness of these fanbois and their downvoting? Then the personal attacks calling me a liar!

It's a tongue in cheek post.

I am writing this on an Apple iPhone 4s with the smug satisfied smile on my face that I have shaken the tree and the apples have fallen.

I will now retire for the evening thinking happy thoughts.

SOPA from a distance: multiplying the trade threats

LarsG

THE GREAT PROTECTIONIST CENSOR

does anyone believe that the US legislators will do the right thing and not abuse the use of this SOPA legislation?

Does anyone think that they will not use it to detrimental effect against other countries?

Does anyone think that they could trust the US over this?

They have a track record of deceit and dishonesty so don't be fooled.

Don't be surprised if you get a letter through your door with the threat of prosecution for something that is NOT illegal in your own country.

And don't be surprised if your own country refuses to protect you.

Apple launches three-pronged education assault

LOOKING AT BACK LIT SCREENS....

All day, fantastic exercise for your eyes!

The clever people will train as opticians because in 10 years time the condition 'appleye' will be so prevalent there will be huge opportunities to make money out of them.

SOPA is dead. Are you happy now?

Megaupload has been taken off the air?

ITS ALL ABOUT VOTES....

THE political elite of the USA have realised that if they supported the bill, a bill against the fundamental right of free speech, they would stuggle to be seen as credible.

They just want to keep their cozy jobs and will always bend with the wind whichever direction it blows.

Two PROTECT IP sponsors drop support for their own bill

LarsG

Its all to do with votes

So they are just protecting themselves come the next election.

96% against the legislation

3% for the legislation

1% too stupid to make a decision

In view of this will good old Obama veto this poor excuse of legal ****?

It's all toooooo dooooo with votes!

Google to join Wednesday's anti-SOPA protest

LarsG

IT IS ABOUT TIME A STAND WAS MADE....

This kind of legislation will criminalise huge numbers of law abiding people and open them to legal abuse from a minority self-interest group.

What was civil law will become criminal offences.

Everyone who uses the web will be at risk of prosecution, children doing homework, grandparents surfing the web, workers in offices.

You, me and them over the road all at risk of being prosecuted in a foreign court for doing something that is not illegal in the UK.
