I hope they've patented the idea

You wouldn't want anyone to get any ideas now would you?

PSN

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who immediately thought "Oooh, free Playstation Network for the masses".

Meh

Now, if they could get the 151 drivers to move on schedule rather than waiting at the end stop until a 213 goes past so it can shadow it for half the route then it really would make a difference to my life.

Does anyone remember the Tomorrows World on this?

During the 80's? They were talking about sending up a large multilayered disk to try and catch some of it.

Hmmm, something missing

It needs some naff plastic trim (slightly wonky), a baked bean tin exhaust, cheap chipped alloys, McDonalds/KFC stained bucket seats, a large plastic "spoiler" and some stickers for surf products in the windows (this only applies to owners who've never seen a surfboard let alone used one).

This list happens every year

And every year it raises as much mirth as weeping genital sores, but on the plus you know which comedians to avoid.

Um

Where do you plug it in?

Hmmm

The aspergers defence seems to get everyone riled but what should be getting them riled is that fact that McKinnon is described as a hackers, from what I've read, the servers he accessed were unsecured, how is that hacking?

Meh

I loved my HTC Desire for the nine months or so, but in the last 6 months the battery's dying after about 8 hours, the screen's started finding touches that aren't there and it's generally being flakey, all in all not impressed. Mind you it doesn't crash and destroy my data every time I upgrade the OS so it's still better than my iPhone was.

Google must be soiling themselves

The ICO eh? Just look at their track record of prosecuting people for violating data protection laws, there was erm... Phorm and erm... well surely there was someone?

How will it work for companies like Game

Who sell repackage old games and sell them as new?

Is this how the oil companies were controlling Bush?

And is that why he always looks so wooden?

Why warn people?

Seriously, if you're dense enough to get hit by an enormous slow moving noisy vehicle then surely Darwinian selection should be the order of the day.

Try watching Bones

If you want improbable IT, it's a goldmine.

ICO in Actual Prosecution Shock!!!

Would be a far more accurate headline. I'd prefer the article to be more about the fact that the ICO did it's job for once rather than just sitting around watching the world go by ignoring all and sundry whilst they breech the data protection act. Mind you, this case does seem surprisingly simple, maybe it's the only case on their books that they had the mental capacity to bring a successful prosecution for.

Yeah, but who's going to stop them?

The ICO? Good one, hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha.

But anyone with a flat screen tv would already know this?

You'd do your homework before buying surely?

Is it Rapture time again already?

How many Raptures is that they've had now? Every one passes uneventfully.

Phew

And there was me worrying I'd look a bit geeky if I mentioned transparent aluminium.

I'd love to

I'd love to like Sony Ericcson phones, I really would, I loved P800/900 when they first came out, they were the first true smartphones, but everything since? Well, let's just say the hardware's good but the clunky unintuitive UI spoils the whole product.

James Corden

Is the episode he's in one where he's slowly bled to death by a series of increasingly nasty paper cuts? Because I'd watch that, but he's as much of a pull as Catherine Tate, I'd rather eat my own sick than watch it.

That's no good

Have they no got one that runs off a sheeps heart?

It counts backwards???

"So let me get this right, it counts backwards from 27th July 2012 from now? So on the 27th July 2012 it says the date is today?"

Did no one else watch Twenty Twelve on BBC4 last night, it was genius.

Personally I prefer the headline

"Star Wars Episode 1 to suck in 3D too"

Is it the 70's

That thing's hooked up to bottles of Cinzano?

Secure Email

Now, that's an idea, perhaps someone could tell Champneys, who email you your username and password when you sign up for their site and then offer no way to change your details (I bought the missus some stuff for Valentines), I've had to ask them to delete the account.

So it won't run Android 3.0

And therefore is obsolete prior to launch? A bit brainless is it not? Especially as Google have been saying not to stick 2.2 on pads because it's designed specifically for phones. I used to like Toshiba as a brand but in the last 10 years they seem to be going a Matsui frankly.

It's a Binatone

366 days after purchase it'll stop working, the plastic will crack and it'll fall to pieces to be consigned to the dustbin, who buys this rubbish?

Aha! he's admitted his guilt

"I don't know nothing about it."

Double negative, so he does know something about it, n'est pa?

Well

I understand that the reasoning behind the gov costings is thus:

1) Never bring it in house, always use a supplier it's easier to blame them when it goes wrong.

2) Suppliers can never have less more 50% of income per annum from UK.gov.

3) Suppliers total income per year must be more than x million.

Which basically mean that the only people who can work with UK.gov are large companies (Siemens, GE, IBM), who's billing practices are always in the realms of fantasy, I'm surprised a piddling ad agency even got a look in.

In other news

It was discovered that bears do actually defecate in the woods and the pope is indeed a catholic.

Bah

They're simply copying Vodafone, next time you fancy some bum fun, just get a contract with Vodafone, they'll happily give you a good rogering.

I can't but feel a trick is beuing missed here

Big Trak, need I say more?

Ooh, that reminds me

I haven't watched the one I downloaded on Monday.

I'll bet

it's not smart enough to stop the Yankee Doodles friendly fire incidents.

a US-based marketing executive

Sorry, but I'm with Bill Hicks on this one.

Wot No Gorf?

The first arcade game with "speech"

Make it a double bill

Get Stryper to do a double head-liner with them and see the Christians try to work out what to do.

Never fear, the ICO is on the case

Have they ever actually prosecuted anyone? I've dealt with them on 3 separate occasions and let's just say that they're not particularly effective, to the extent that they don't even respond, in fact, I'd have been more than happy for them to be involved in that nice little quango scrappage the Tories pulled the other week. In fact, are the EU still prosecuting us for their utter inaction on Phorm?

It's retro

Maybe DSG are harking back to the seventies when they were competitive and customer service meant something to them, rather than the alleged price fixing shambles they are now.

Franco-British-Italian equipment

Oh good God, you know it's going to rust don't you?

Really?

Have people not unbranded their phones yet? How odd, why would you not?
