This title should be auto filled with "Re: Needs working plugins."

Dunno about NoScript, but I've had AdBlock working on V4 for quite a while now.

Jamie Kitson

News?

Old.

Jamie Kitson

Compensation?

Is there any chance he can sue?

Community Spirit

So nice of you to take the time to inform the people on whocallsme.

NOT

Jamie Kitson

Used to be?

> used to be a standard feature of smartphones

Current in all bar the iPhone I would say, I think Android even has a wireless hotspot mode built in.

Jamie Kitson

Correction

You got one of your "W100"s upside down.

Jamie Kitson

Choice

Hobson's choice.

Jamie Kitson

"Judas Phone"

Excellent.

Jamie Kitson

ZZ Top

Guess their records aren't doing so well at the moment.

Jamie Kitson

Re: ...zzzzzz... (Title should be autocomepleted)

Really? An i7 in an 11" package unremarkable? Even without that it's possible that the prices might make them remarkable :)

Jamie Kitson

Why all these words?

Where's the nice graph?

Jamie Kitson

More details please

Are we talking email addresses, or what?

Jamie Kitson

Picture?

Can we have a picture of one of these cabinets please? Perhaps with a person for scale. On a beach say, with a lady in a white bikini.

Lightzone for Linux Isn't Free

It's £73.47.

I Do!

> I don't know why I hadn't started with Ubuntu.

Because you're a cantankerous old man! ;)

Jamie Kitson

Don't Really Get...

why you're taking the piss. Sounds like not only is his heart in the right place, but his actions too.

Jamie Kitson

erm

Someone obviously didn't read past the first paragraph.

Jamie Kitson

Changed

They've changed the image.

As others have said, I'm sure grabbing the image from Getty was cheaper than sending a photographer outside, just think of the health and safety costs.

Jamie Kitson

11th

According to the BBC the 11th person has been arrested in Cyprus.

Jamie Kitson

Can't believe they still employ her

Driving

Depends which side of the road you're driving on, and whether you need to change gear, and which hand you need to do it. I of course never use my phone while I'm driving, I need my spare hand to hold my beer.

Jamie Kitson

Try 10.60

10.60 *seems* to have fixed a big problem I was having with Opera Mail, whereby it would stop loading messages on start up. Fingers crossed.

Jamie Kitson

Fail

The Silverlight plugin has crashed.

Jamie Kitson

Ten Essential 500GB Hard Drives?

Surely that would be 50 Terabytes.

Jamie Kitson

Graphs

There is really not point putting lines between discrete values, there is no midpoint for example, between read and write speeds.

Jamie Kitson

hmmmm

> Or worse, web advertising leaps out at you, and gets more and more annoying the more you try to ignore it.

Reminds me of some red-topped IT rag... hang on, I'll remember the name in a minute, has some sort of bird as the icon...

Jamie Kitson

ahem

I for one am interested in our newly enhanced overlords.

Jamie Kitson

Really?

> Lamo is claiming a Facebook post by Manning would have alerted authorities if he had not.

> "I didn't break the story; Manning did with his Facebook post. It was only a matter of time from there, so I went whole-hog," he wrote.

I'm not sure that quite follows. Manning may have just broken the news of his arrest on Facebook.

Jamie Kitson

Old News

I thought you reported this months ago.

Jamie Kitson

Stupid Question

Does a "mobile internet device" work as a phone?

Jamie Kitson

Good News

Glad because this means their street view cars won't be able to eavesdrop on your search traffic.

Jamie Kitson

Compatibility

Is there any compatibility between VP8 and Theora? In either direction?

Jamie Kitson

erm

> the idea is to reduce the overall network loading to the benefit of all (though particularly to the benefit of Facebook, obviously)

Surely if Facebook wanted to reduce their network loading they could get everyone on Facebook Zero? Are you suggesting that currently users get on to fullfat Facebook on their mobiles?

Jamie Kitson

Why Not...

Why aren't they making it a plugin?

Jamie Kitson

Updates

The frequency with which many browsers and plugins (and even OSes) update these days I would have thought makes this pretty much useless. For example I am running nightly builds of Firefox at the moment so my browser updates every single day. The whole point of finger prints is that they do not change, it seems this one does.

Jamie Kitson

Re: Yeah right ...

It doesn't say your unique in the country, just unique amongst the < 1,000,000 people who have taken the test, which seems plausible.

Jamie Kitson

hmmm

Surely if the atmospheric pressure is the same at both ends then it is the gravity that is doing the sucking?

Jamie Kitson

Count Yourselves Lucky

O2 charges three times that iirc.

You also don't say what used to happen if you went over 25megs a day. It could be that even higher users are better off.

There was a chap on Radio 4's Money Mox last week that arrived home to a £7000 bill from O2. Bit of a plonker really, he was streaming Radio 4.

Jamie Kitson

erm

There's a much better UI for this at... http://facebook.com

First Thought

For some reason my first thought was a pair of droopy balls.

Jamie Kitson
Joke

Version

I'm already on 3.6.5pre, does that now translate to version 4?

Jamie Kitson

Might Explain...?

I wondered why the Facebook API was returning information on Apps for me that I definitely hadn't installed, maybe this is why. On the other hand, the Facebook API is so broken I don't trust it any more than I trust Facebook privacy.

Jamie Kitson

erm

According to my calculations on the back of my envelope 0-600mph in 2 seconds is about 50g, can humans even survive that?

Jamie Kitson

Pot, Meet Pot

Hearing Flash and Apple argue over who's most closed is like hearing a pot call another pot black.

Jamie Kitson

Ditto

STFU

Jamie Kitson

Revo R3600?

At about £150 doesn't the Acer Aspire Revo R3600 deserve inclusion on price alone? I think it has similar specs to the Cape 7 you reviewed but is about half the price.

Jamie Kitson

One word

Sic!

One question: What else do they put into the phone's body, you could make it into some sort of stash.

Jamie Kitson

Confiscated iPads

Confiscated iPads can be collected, with an added iBullet hole app.

free extra magnification

"With its sensor crop factor it would do well to be used with telephoto lenses to gain that free extra magnification."

Isn't that a bit like arguing for "digital zoom"?
