reality check

Ok lets bash a few misconceptions on the head.

@Michael Schmidt.

you have got to be kidding right "Microsoft wasn't so brilliantly run, it just happened to be the survivor."

So your saying a company that controls the pc software market lions share, training , industry standards and drives how hardware manufacturers design their hardware, started of in a garage whooped the great IBM corporate monster in a licencing deal that will still be talked about 10000yrs.....was and is poorly run A company so big the most countries are scared of it never mind that they have wet dreams about Microsofts turnover!.

@Trevor Pott

"In fact, in we are in the middle of a "Linux to the desktop" rollout "

and you think windows is a buggy OS or harder to deploy than linux...geez you are in for a surprise when it comes to supporting it. and you should sysprep any pc your imaging or cloning if it is to go on An Active directory setup.

@Chrome

it is ok nothing brillaint , same with gears..but it is just like all the other crap developers put out it is what they think the next big thing is , and as the internet has always proven it is never what they think it will be and always comes from indepent developers and is usually not designed for productivity or work rather content and recreation...MP3,facebook,myspace,skype,ebay,youtube of course the big boys like google snap them up but usually too late when the decline has already set in.

And you guys like ad's/

Tried it, laughed at it, unistalled it. STALIN would be proud of the EULA, no ad blocker come on basic101 browser plugins, it has a habit of dying on random sites the usuall the browser come in tow with the usuall google crap...I mean who use's this stuff.

And it might be marginaly quicker in places(the ones that dont crash) so where is the killer function that makes it better than other browsers?...oh right it has not got one.

Paris: because at least she has some functions i want to play with.

Ubuntu ?

You have got to be kidding "Just as good as Windows, except faster, more powerful and less flashing districations."

In no way would i call myself a MS fan by any means, but the statment above is like saying "my Mac runs more software and connects to more hardware than my pc can"

some one once said "there is lies then there is damn lies" vista may be an application waiting for a purpose but ubuntu is as buggy as any other os seems you just have not used it enough.

what

Why is the Iphone even in this article? it is in no way a enterprise based soloution it just does not work on level and never will...

Bad reg

so HD slow mo's are blurry

having watched the tennis on BBC HD and can be 100% positive that no replays i saw where blurry, I also was bemussed by some of the hawkeye calls and their postioning which in some cases was miles off where the ball actually was, quater of inch seemed more like a foot.

Paris because even she does not need technology to recognise 12 inch's.

Germany does not forget .....but it seems we do sadly

The reason Germany has such hatred for the CoS, Is because in Germany it is a crime to misrepresent any matter pertaining to the holocaust or publish any media that denies the holocaust.

And it is punishable by a custodial sentence as others have found out, and I see this as the most sickening aspect of the Cult of scientology and why we here in Britain allow them to promote this poisonous propaganda is a sad indictment of how low or values have sunk to allow a group like CoS to misrepresent the death of millions by a sad pathetic washed up sci-fi b class lunatic like L. Ron.

told you so

Now we have CC losing in contract bids to it's compeditors, then being brought in by those said compeditors as a third party subbed outfit which means bargin basement support and no sales of tin, well at least their services are shaping to run just like the management team..... third rate.

Paris: because even she offer's a higher level of service.

come on reg.

How is this a worthy story for the mighty reg!...in fact where is the story at all . What is tomorrrow's headline "exsclusive - fisherman finds fish in sea"

scientology is not a cult

scientology is not a cult ...to right it is not a cult becasue cult's have set ideals they follow, scientoloy just gets made up as it goes along just like it's hefty bank balance but the crux of what it is is based on who founded it and that man L .Ron was a nutcase 150% , so what he wrote books! but the man spent his life biting bricks he was totally out to lunch at all times the only thing he was "CLEAR" of was sanitiy.

But the whole sickener about this band of halfwitted gullable fool's is the crap the say about the holocaust... and here is me thinking holocaust denails or preaching falsehoods about the holocaust are a crime! cant be thought since the cheif inspector of the met opened the london branch of the CoS ( church of saps).

Paris: because even she wouldn't swallow that

pure greed

It seems creative got caught in a game of greed ,deliberately making drivers for older cards with reduced functionality so everybody would jump on the band wagon and buy their new line of cards out later this year.

Seems like they are using Phorm's PR team , 1792 post since friday on the one topic

...anybody want to buy any Creative or Phorm shares they are going cheap funny how in this technological fantasy land we live in words cost money, maybe they can get gerald rattner as their next CEO.

The penny just aint dropping yet, is it?

I dont care if the pope checks phorm out, virgin will be losing my custom as soon as they "Phorm in" I am "Phorming out" for GOOD, taking my tv and phone package with me not just BB .....ah well time for sky HD then.

sorry guys

having unfortunately spent 6 Years at CC in a senior role I can validate my responses, so please guys loose the PR posting are you 2 really mike and simon ?

@ first coward

"Yes, we suffer from initiative overloadd" you really ought to phrase that a bit better as in "we suffer from poorly lead initiatives"

@ second coward

"I echo what AC said about internal politics, but that applies to ALL companies"

So the first guy was mike and your simon right , anyway no it does not & that is why some companies are succesful and some not .

I posted openly and not like you two lovely gentlemen.

I havent ground any axe in public if I did this post would be a few pages long and the register would get some rather tasty stories.

p/s Tony says dell does it better.

paint it any way you like, but it is time to fight back by any means !!!!

This is the thin end of the wedge,

What if BT started monitoring my phone calls so they could keep a recorded record of all my calls and then sold the information about who i had phoned.

What if as others have said if the royal mail started keeping copies of my mail to sell info on to advertisers.

ISP'S have got away with murder over the last 10 years they can lie like virgin(20mb connection only if it is oversubscribed part of the network and you wont get even a half of that), or like plusnet who disconnected over a thousand users for using their 24/7 service 24/7 (fair usage) words like unlimited and fibre get tossed about like fact when the are word's of fantasy and fiction.

As a virgin user I will be an ex- virgin user when this goes live, and I will shout from the rooftops and anywhere online I can post about this breach in my rights of my freedom as individual to go about my daily online business with being monitored by the likes of phorm.

The opt out policy is a disgrace and a charade, and pointless as the data still goes where I don’t want it to go . it is mine I own it I pay virgin to connect my to the internet that is all, I also pay Scottish power for electricity but I don’t expected them to monitor how I use the power in my own home or sell that information on , so why then does phorm think they can pay my Internet service provider to spy on me in my very own home , which is what is happening does not matter where the data stream goes just where it came from.

If phorm wants my data they should be paying me for it not virgin as the data belongs to me , data protections laws are a absolute nonsense and need urgently revised.

Currently I and a few others have contacted the European Commission for Human Rights to see if a legal challenge can be made through this avenue. As I believe basic democratic rights are being abused as well as some EEC legislation which the phorm legal geniuses seem to have overlooked about international transmission of data out with member states.

Virign might meet the men in black

Mm virgin might need to rethink how it applies this to business users , as the majority of local government authorities use Virgin business for nice fibre and big phat pipe connections.

It is illegal to for any unauthorised outside body to monitor any form of communication by any means, although they would not be able to pin it down to any specific users I am sure MSP’S, MP’S, MEP’S, Councillors and Ministers will all be happy to share their browsing habits with virgin.

@luke

Elite comes form good old days of BBS, and meant the top level of access a sysop could grant you on his board, it then became twisted into L33T by halfwit brigade
