Re: Loved this place but it was a little grim
I took the wife there for a visit one Valentine's day.
Great place to visit.

Okay then. We know Mac malware exists, it's just a computer after all.
Without Mac anti-virus how does one know ones Mac is infected?

Re: while standing on the moon
That would mean you could get people to the moon, which we all know is impossible.

Yup, I do 85 miles a week traveling to work, be it by car or bicycle.

Re: Nokia N900
N900 was a pretty good device, let down by a few things including the OS.
It was the last Nokia I owned, after being faithful for years.
Re: Not just Jim
There certainly is a lot of similarity with this and those sites.
Amazing technobabble on the GT500 page:
'The system can penetrate walls, metal, and can even transmit from underground, due to high efficiency.'
It's like an audiophile site.

Legal in UK?
>> 915MHz or 868MHz communication between modules
I thought these things needed to be on 433mhz band to be legal in the UK?

Re: Saints Row 3 is much better than GTA 4
What I don't like about SR3 is the driving model, GTA4's isn't perfect but you can actually drive around the city, take corners at speed in a semi-realistic manner.
In SR3 I find it's just way to sensitive, braking stops the car instantly etc. and there are lots of glitches where you try a run up to a jump and you end up getting thrown up in the air by some tiny glitch in the scenery.
And what with the top speed of about 50mph in SR3?

Wait! Nick Woodruffe, I think you are being groomed.
Four Cameras
Please can someone explain exactly how 4 wireless cameras set on different frequencies could block the entire spectrum?
Personally I would have taken it back to shop and said it wasn't good enough. Sale of goods act etc...
I did the same with my Transformer Prime after 6 months.
So many people w**k on about how great Apple service is, I too wonder why these people resorted to the hair-dryer trick instead of just taking it back.

Re: The chicken nuggets on the other hand.......
Their chicken nuggets are fine. They cleaned up their act a long time ago and are very aware all eyes are on them.
The filet o' fish on the other hand.......
That's a really nicely crafted response, similar to the BigJigs rail story (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/09/bigjigs_bid/) a few days ago.
Even the URL is spot-on:

I would like a small on-screen keyboard on a tablet
I've used swype and similar keyboards for a couple of years now on phones and it greatly increases my typing speed, but what I found on a 10inch tablet is the distance to move your hand around is too great and the keyboard takes up ~40% of the screen.
I would like a phone-sized floating keyboard that has swype capabilities, I'm sure that it would make typing while holding the tablet with your other hand much better, any thoughts?

Re: "Didn't they also effectively pioneer providing consumers with data and a sensible cost?"
Nope, I had my n95 way before iPhone and had 'unlimited' (1gb) with tethering (t-mobile).
I still use my n95, as a bike computer using ViewRanger with a n95 specific mount bought through ebay.
And the 5mp camera is still up there with current phones quality wise.
A new name perhaps?
