China looking to develop scramjet missile tech

John

being joined at the hip does not prevent war

France and Germany were big trading partners before the first world war. Though I suspect Russia has more to fear from China than the USA, what with their falling population and vast resources. China has been making friends with African countries, but Russia is a lot closer.

HP writes big fat cheque for 'Print 2.0' ad jamboree

John

justifying their existence

as I understand it, this sounds like a way of getting mail order prints, which may be fine for more suburban/rural people, but then you care less about what makes a consumer printer good and more about the quality of your postal service. So it may be good for professional printers because if HP is making lots of their high-end printers for their own mail order service, then the economies of scale may make them cheaper. For urban people, the Kodak-style kiosk is the way forward in my opinion. I've used one a few times and while it has its limitations and it is relatively expensive, the prints from my 2MP camera were as good if not better than some Boots APS prints we got a few years back, and the kiosk prints are almost immediate.

Cadbury bows to 'bring back Wispa' net campaign

John

hurrah

whatever the method, I'm glad to see the Wispa back. One of my favourite Cadbury bars.

Going by company, a flake with its clothes on is/was the Flake Dipped (Ripple is a Mars brand in the Galaxy family) and if you don't know the difference between a flake and a wispa, you don't deserve chocolate!

now, have to go post a video to you-tube demanding Cadbury bring back the Fuse. Loved the surreal ads with the soldiers in purple uniforms
