I've got a Pre 3

Is this the right room for an argument?

If I don't have a 3DS, will there be the same peripheral for my DS, my DS Lite, my DS XL, my DSi or my... Ah fuck it. I think I've played Mario enough.

Every cloud

This is fantastic news for the far superior Moto GP.

Looks ideal

I've been using a SE X10 Mini for a year so the 320x480 of the HTC would seem positively extravagant to me. The missus' Blackberry is a joy to type on, I have to say, but I couldn't live with one. I was even considering a Palm Pre 2 at one point, but then I realised that's just silly. While the Cha Cha's battery isn't the best it's certainly better than my X10's 900mha charge-daily effort.

Thanks for the review

Dearest Ken

There are a couple of important points my friends and I here are well aware of, but you seem to have missed:

Here is a way for the music industry - and, ultimately, musicians - to get money they would NEVER otherwise see, whether the music is pirated or not. If it's legitimate music the industry will have been paid twice. And you're paid to represent them? If I were you I'd seriously consider offering to refund the cost of your services.

Ok, I'm sold.

"texture." It's why I buy Windows.

Also, during lunch hour

Ben Edelman and colleague Benjamin

Lockwood were searching the overhead menu while standing in line in Burger Dong(tm), and were astonished to find that the country's most popular burger, Mick Ronald's quarter-size Big Mick, was not listed AT ALL.

Quick tip for X10 owners, possibly others.

If you're on O2 and you can't update yet, uninstall the bundled PC Companion, and install the one available from the Sonyericsson website. That'll find and install the OS update.

The BPI said

"It 's

disappointing that a couple of ISPs are

trying to comply with European law."

There you go, fixed that for you.

Fart apps

...with a real keyboard. I can't wait.

Consumer-led marketplace

There is still a choice here; consumers can choose not to buy a Mac.

And here it starts.

The wall will get ever higher, the garden ever smaller.

Where once there was an untamed, wild, glorious, dangerous wilderness, now you're safe. Safe in your tiny, safe little garden. Eating your apple.

Video calls

We don't want them. Go away.

How big is Opera Mini 5?

It's 260KB or something isn't it?

Every cloud and all that

Compared to the old one the new Nano may be more expensive, but at least it's worse.

Purveyors of tat

From the people responsible for the Disney Princess Talking Cash Register? My hopes aren't high.

We are all being granted a guaranteed Bugattit Veyron each too.

Obviously we'll have to pay for it if we decide to have one.

Already on it.

Opera Mini's always the first thing I download to a new phone (I don't work for them, it just is).

Patents expire

They do.

I tried, I really tried.

I even finished the paragraph concerning multiple-site locations. Then I remembered that life's too short, and now I'm going down the pub

Great.

</sarcasm>

Actually, the correct form would be

...to 'de-friend' somebody. Although this can also apply to killing all of a person's friends; an effective way, during a protracted argument, to bring somebody's opinion inline with one's own.

Man gets headlines.

Man sells product.

Hey guys, electronic books!

Also on offer this week, video calls! They're the future!

I'm on Hardy

If Koala is a LTS release, I'll have it. If it isn't, I won't.

Please make clear whether this distro has long-term support in your review ;)

As you all know

The single most troublesome and problematic component in any computer setup is the nut on the swivel chair

Mobile phone manufacturers in the late 90s, early 00s...

never shared information in regards to the IMEI numbers - so they're not necessarily unique.

"pay for your OS"

will, in the not too distant future, sound as quaint as "another quart of coal for the iron horse my good man."

If you're not busy

...you can go and help them with Zune as well if you like

The Criminal Justice Act

..was, don't forget, a Conservative Criminal Justice Bill. Myself and others fought vehemently against it in the 90s. Don't imagine that swapping our unelected, Scottish Prime Minister will improve anything - no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.

Oh good, Monday morning finger exercise

Microsoft's business model

...is blonde.

How much of the settlement

will be returned by the RIAA to the people they represent?

I really hope

I really, really hope they try this in Europe. Not even Microsoft will be able to afford the fine

With these comments

I feel as if I'm being browbeaten into stupidity with one hand, while receiving the soothing massage of education with the other. It's like listening to Big Brother on Radio 3.

Clever

They've tightened security in such a way as not to affect IT security companies' source of income. Everybody wins except the baddies
