Hmm.

It smells all right so far. Cautious thumbs up, let's wait and see.

That's gonna have

a lifetime of approximately 3 seconds, i.e.. the length of time it takes Steve Jobs to declare that iPhone apps must only be bought through the Apple App Store.

You think so? Worked with councils much?

Oh FFS

Just stick one of those "panic" buttons on it. Problem solved.

Tories put ID cards, Contactpoint on manifesto hit list

I

actually rather like the overall flavour of this. But what you'll actually get is: Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.

Largely irrelevant to me anyways I guess as I live in Scotland. The merest hint of a Tory in power, and watch the good ship Caledonia break orbit for the choppy seas of independence. Nice knowing you, English people.

how many of the latest comments on that page are from you funnytards?

The last thing we need is any sort of recursive-turdspurt situation.

Unbelievable!

Oh, good job.

Nice one Mr Johnson. There's now not a 17-year-old in Britain doesn't know about this stuff and isn't making their way to an internet cafe with switch card in hand. You know, had you left it alone, it might possibly have faded away as today's silly young tw*ts become tomorrow's adults. But no, you had to publicise it didn't you? As well as giving it the added kudos of being illegal and rebellious and dangerous. You realise of course, that you will now NEVER get rid of it, will NEVER be able to impose any sort of regulation or quality control - making it far more dangerous than it ever is at present - and will be obliged to waste police time and effort until the end of time tracking down backstreet producers?

Bravo sir. With a single statement, you've introduced a brand new and far more dangerous drug into youth culture at the expense of pleasing a few hysterical voters. Have you ever considered a career in marketing?

Any c*** running a washing machine overnight should not be unsurprised to find themselves failing to benefit from reduced electricity bills.

Bravo

Well said Sir, and condolences for the family's loss.

Seanmon

Good.

Yep, firmly behind facebook here. In spite of many of my so called adult friends playing at running cafes or farms or wtf-ever, Facebook is stil the most grown-up of all the social networking dross. It came out of a university, it is aimed at those of us who went to university or are otherwise well-traveled and educated and are more likely to have friends who ended up in distant places. This is how I use it and it works well.

It is not intended for teenages to arrange bing-drinking sessions or upload happy-slapping videos. If you are using an adult's network, you must behave like an adult, which means excercising proper care and responisibility for your own safety.

That bodes a bit for the next series of Top Gear, I'd say.

End government pre-snoop on stats

Seanmon
Alert

Here's an idea

How about the politicos get access to the statistics at /exactly the same time/ as the media, the analysts and even we poor ignorant plebians?

If only there was some kind of cheap and gloabally available publishing medium that was specifically designed for mass dissemination of statistical data.

Oh well.

The

built-in censorship is the main reason I won't buy Apple gadgets. Well, that and the risk of being thought a fashion victim techno-wannabe.

iPhone: The OS with big aspirations

Seanmon
Thumb Down

Two things.

1) As already mentioned on the Apple-pr0n thread - no thanks to vendor lock in and controlled distribution channels and now even application censorship. Watch iPhony sales drop as android gets traction.

2) The reason any jobsian products are considered virus free is that, until recently, they were such a tiny, tiny minority it simply wasn't worth it for the bad guys. This is now changing. I hope at least some people in Cupertino have stopped drawing pretty cases for long enough to think about this.

If an iPose virus does happen, at present it's likely to be a doozy.

Airport scanners face double exposure

Seanmon
WTF?

Doesn't it

rather remove the point if not everyone gets scanned? Simply send more than one bomber, the odds are that at least one won't be selected for the pervo-vision.

BAA poo-poos Bollywood star's pervscan printout put-on

Or indeed...

...some kind of pocket sized device that could, at the click of a button, create an exact replica of an image displayed on a monitor and store it for future perusal. Possibly even combined with some kind of near instantaneous copying and distribution technology.
