Clues...

> But is it really so confusing? Here's a clue...

Surely the biggest clue is whether you have to pay for it or not?

Berlusconi

You seem to argue that Murdoch is benign and has no power, but would you say the same of Berlusconi?

He's definitely got at least one thing right.

Typically, the women involved...

...are men.

Uh-oh

They'll be dressing up in superhero costumes next and scaling the Symantec building.

Not well argued

I usually enjoy your articles Alistair, but you made a couple of sweeping statements without backing them up with numbers.

1. Planting trees in order to print paper is more sustainable than building power stations to power our electronic devices.

Well that rather depends on the numbers doesn't it? How much paper do we need? How many devices are we going to have, and how much power do we need to power them? And we'll still need power to do the printing and create the paper.

2. Books are greener (eg, easier to recycle) than electronic devices.

Again, that rather depends on how many we need through our lifetimes. If we could get people to buy and use just one e-reader throughout their lifetime then a heavily used e-reader may well be greener than thousands of books, however you measure greenness.

What's the point...

if you have to listen to the answer phone messages anyway?

Reminds me of an issue I had with Flickr. I'd accidentally leaked one of my apps' secrets. No problem I thought, I'll just regenerate it (as you can with Facebook for example). But Flickr has no way of regenerating app secrets. As far as I could see, the only secure thing to do was to disable that app and create a new one. Luckily I didn't have any users at that point.

IVONA Pun!

I can't believe you didn't do any IVONA puns :(

Zenbooks

The very new and modern Asus Zenbook Primes all come with (full HD) matte screens.

Bravo

That's unusually interesting and insightful comment for the reg :)

Send Corrections Link

Did I miss the announcement about the change to the Send Corrections link?

Are we to take it that you don't want corrections any more?

Where's the Score the Article widget gone?

The only time I want to use it to mark an article positively and I find it's disappeared.

My assumption is that generally people only used to to mark articles down.

Hands up who thinks that has worked?

Isn't it a bit early to say whether the response to the banking crisis has worked or not. So far there hasn't been another crash, so maybe it has.

+1

Brilliant.

"the best economy class meal available"

Is that a joke?

What? None for me?

After all those bloody corrections I've sent in!

Price

ffs that's less than I paid for an 830 in September :-/

Common knowledge

I thought it was common knowledge that the stories of dead gamers are government propaganda.

Detail?

It would be good to get some detail on the innovations, which features and models? Or even a link to the report?

Microsoft

"Chip makers can no longer look to Microsoft to solve the problem by regularly updating its operating system with technology that demands the performance only the latest processors can deliver."

Not only that, but Microsoft have also done chip makers the disservice of making their operating systems good enough that people don't *need* to upgrade to the latest versions, and for a lot of people upgrading the operating system is synonymous with upgrading the hardware.

Sam Knows

I complained a couple of times and didn't really get very far. The third time I thought I'd ask for compensation, just for the hell of it. The very same day I got a call from a guy saying that they would be happy to give me a 50% discount until the network was due to be upgraded in Jan.

Headline

When GiffGaff falls over and nobody's there to hear it, is it even news any more?

You mean to say...

THEY ARE HUMAN?!?!?!!!???

Money

Just to confirm, the photographer has to buy approximately £3000 worth of kit, but doesn't pay anything to Google. The photographer can then charge what they like (approximately £200) to provide the service to a shop... and has to pay nothing back to Google?

Well make your mind up

Diamonds Are Forever... bears the least resemblance to the original novel

The Spy Who Loved Me, with Moonraker, owes the least to the novel from which it takes its name.

Amazing

It's amazing what you can do with tilt-shift these days, it looks so much like a model!

You couldn't have just changed your time zone?
