The surprising thing about this for me is that I was actually surprised they would do this.

Concert spending

I think it is relevant to include it, as being a freetard can make it possible to be exposed to music you might not have otherwise listened to and then on becoming a fan gone to concerts etc.

I know many freetards who download stuff and buy legit copies of stuff they really like. I think for a lot of people it's less about paying for something and more about searching for value.

Mumsnet *shudder*

I actually feel sorry for the future historians forced to research that horrible bastion of hate and fuckwittery. I'd imagine they will look at it with the disdain that we do now at medieval religion.

Re: University weeks...

You were lucky to have 6 days of pasta...... In my day etc...

Sheffield Hallam per chance?

How about this, if there is this supposed market how about you stop whining and provide the books yourself.

I must have forgot when Amazon became the BBC.

I've got this feeling, so appealing,

for us to get together and sing. Sing!

Re: "Elderly"?

Elderly or not, fat or not you still would wouldnt you though? Just so you could tell your mates.

I recently ordered some C4 from my local Chinese sales advocate which could have been awkward had I been intercepted. That said the ensuing Beef Chop Suey was delicious.

Re: even ~600m is ridiculous

Apple Insider *shudder*

If ever I'm contemplating purchasing anything Apple orientated I go there and realise what I would be buying in to. The quasi-religious sycophancy of the Apple fanbois is truly astounding.

If Apple directors had been found driving Jimmy Saville to special hospital visits whilst simultaneously funding terrorism and saturating the meat market with the remains of Romanian pit ponies they would still find a way to:

a) Completely absolve them of all crimes

b) Blame Samsung.

I find it ironic that the person who talks about a sexualised Britain is the same person who kills my boner every time.

I pay next to sod all for my Sky Broadband and get a steady 9-12Mbps for that price with the occasional blip due to line noise. Can't really complain truth be told.

I was really worried about it but it was so cheap as to be a virtual no brainer. Streaming is really good and it does get some hammer.

I use a VPN to work to do bits and bobs but I would never rely on it to be a business solution. The bloke in the article that does is an idiot.

Jack Project

Have to be honest, the Indians know how to do a good takeaway.

Re: Sell Apple Stock

I would but I've been stuck on this container ship in a gorilla costume since New Years Eve.

Jack Project

Hands up if you saw "Taranis" and thought of the Gallente Interceptor.

Pint

Had a look around after being suitably inspired by your post. Apparently with Sky the number is the same but the options are slightly different. It's option 4 for the QLT. Option 2 gets you to say a phrase which it then plays back and gives you other line info.

Will be testing it tonight. Have another pint!!

Pint

An interesting post. Have a pint as it's Friday!!!

Does this work with other providers? For example I have my phone line through Sky and suffer with a crackly line occasionally.

Going from BT to Plusnet would be like escaping from Wormwood Scrubs and taking sanctuary in Wandsworth.

Re: Is it time for Apple...

If they did it would soon follow that they had invented them in the first place.

That yacht looks terrible

...and I bet the navigation systems are shit.

Jack Project

I bought a bigger samsung yacht for $50m

What about the 256 character limit? That screws Welsh over every time.

On the Apple bog only certain turds are allowed.

Jack Project

They should have called it the Xphone as Windows Phone 8 sounds so dull.

I had a WP7 phone (HTC Mozart) but will be buying an Android phone this time around. The lack of apps was a real issue for me even though I actually grew quite fond of the device. Being left unable to upgrade was also a bit of a kick in the balls.

Interestingly on the right hand side to this article was another article saying how the sun was belting out plasma that just missed us.

If one of those plasma leaks did hit us then cocking about with the heating and flying a bit less will all be a bit Christopher Poole.

All the really interesting stuff happens in the Wozniak building anyway.

Be the first to post a comment.

Was never going to get this one!!

Jack Project

Company advertising it's own product on it's own website shocker!!

I occasionally go to the Apple site to see their products... and the Samsung apology of course. OK it's mostly the apology I go for.

Re: Failure of understanding

More like they don't want a massive uptake so they can keep the speed up and use it as a marketing feature.

Jack Project

So the bloke in charge of EE reckons 500mb of data for £36 a month on LTE is the pricing "sweetspot" does he?

I can't see my teeth falling out anytime soon due to eating too many sweet things.

Re: Anti-competitive?

That's right and I just did. Thumbs down for you chief.

You don't share the feeling that stupid fanboys got what they deserved by dancing with the devil?

I'm always happy to see Apple on the end of litigation but I can't help thinking people knew the score beforehand on this one.

Jack Project

Anti-competitive?

Are iPhones the only phones out there? Don't want to get stuck with a certain operator then buy something else.

Jack Project

Usual guff.

That inch does make all the difference, it's made his product too expensive and yet again Apple are relying on the fanboys to buy this crap rather than really innovating and pushing the envelope for consumers.

I notice they are already saying stock will be limited, seriously how long before people see through this total charade.

Jack Project

The bigger story here is that Siri actually worked for a change.

Re: Poor attitude!

It also allows these companies to continue to harass people. Just because one person feels confident enough to ignore doesnt mean there will be hundreds more that will not cave in.

Even then it's not 100% you wont end up in court and these PPOC's have won cases, albeit poorly defended ones.

What needs to happen is for companies employing these sharks in the first place. I consider it a community service. I'm sorry that the poster above has so little time for his community.

Jack Project

Noob, should have used 7 proxies like me.

Do they have M and S in "Hitler's country"?

Max Moseley showed us something similar.

The funniest thing to do is fill a trolley full of frozen food and other assorted items, walk to the other end of the shop and then tell a manager that you will have to leave the trolley in the aisle because your free parking allocation is about to run out. Gives them food for thought.

Not a fan.

It's such a good copy, did Samsung make it?

Next time on Super Sunday....

...it's Zion Athletic versus Millwall.

An exciting clash between the Christians and the Lions.
