Nokia cuts own market share forecast to 34%

Paul Hates Handles

If...

If they'd take back their shitty N97s they'd have even less of a market share :)

She'll say God told her he did it, and God can't be wrong so he did it. Case closed.

Home Sec says 17m ID cards in circulation by 2017

Paul Hates Handles

Yep

The true way to stop identity fraud is to give ALL your ID to the person we can trust most not to lose data. Yep. Nice.

US comp-boffins claim fix for multicore 'concurrency bugs'

Paul Hates Handles

So...

...we're inventing new phrases for race hazards then? :)

UK plastic fraud losses fall for first time in 3 years

Paul Hates Handles

bullshit

Are the figures just based on people whose claims for refunds were honored?

Some banks seem hell-bent on denying fraud and blaming the account holders for "giving someone their card and pin". The law needs to be changed back so all fraudulent transactions get reported to police - that way the banks don't do the investigation and you know that they're not going to be able to just ignore their responsibilities.

Government spends £11k on ID card 'branding'

Paul Hates Handles
WTF?

@Ihre Papiere Bitte

As far as I'm concerned you came out of an English snatch so you're entitled to dual nationality in my book. Pity the government won't see that.

Nokia: go straight to Symbian 3, skip Symbian 2

Paul Hates Handles

How about...

...not having the system memory as somewhere you install the default apps to so that when the phone screws up and installs to C: you don't run out of heap?

Monkeys.

Nokia updates N97 firmware

Paul Hates Handles

Awesome

The PC-based installer doesn't work in Windows 7. Fuckbeans.

Paul Hates Handles

Trust...

...do I trust the update to not make the phone even more shit and unusable...?

I swear if this update doesn't unshaft the phone they can have it back and stick it up their arse.

UK.gov uses booze to lure London kids into ID scheme

Paul Hates Handles
Stop

Er...

...what ever happened to that 18-card thingy? Y'know, where you can send off and get a card that proves your age?

And in London they can just get that 18+ student Oyster card with the photo ID in it.

RockYou hack reveals easy-to-crack passwords

Nokia switches direction and gives away maps

Perkele!

N97...

...definitely needs a firmware update/rewrite. For their so-called flagship phone (dropped by Orange for being "a bit shit") it sucks mighty balls.

Manchester ID staff suffer isolation as new dawn fades

Paul Hates Handles
Grenade

Marketing spin...

...I was reading the Metro in Manchester the other day and there was an ad for the ID cards, touting them as being capable of protecting you from identity theft.

They seem to be marketing it not as an ID card but as some kind of security device that will somehow stop the stupid getting ripped off online. If you're stupid enough to buy into the ID card scheme nothing is going to save you from being made rich by a nice man from Nigeria.

Nokia reckons its Symbian^4 UI will leapfrog the rest

Paul Hates Handles

Awesome...

...maybe this means they're going to update the buggy piece of shit firmware in the N97. I've had mine for two months and it is just (by and large) sluggy, unresponsive and NOT what you'd expect from a £500 phone.

Near-ready Firefox 3.6 gets second RC sausage

Linux

Last update until 2011...?

If that's true and the slowdown/cpu issues aren't fixed I'm going to be abandoning Firefox too. It has become just TOO buggy and unstable :(

Sony Ericsson outs see-through screen phone

Paul Hates Handles

AWESOME!

I've been looking for a phone with a screen you can barely see! Cheers!

Naked scans: Net cries nude-o-geddon

Paul Hates Handles
Coat

Double standards...

If they're not scanning the naked bodies of anyone under the age of 18, then they're basically saying "Yes, we know we're looking at something we shouldn't and are invading their privacy so we can't look at kids naked."

If it's so harmless they can check out naked kids too. I mean it's not sexual, is it - they're practically doctors. Nobody ever stole or lost data, nope.

And certainly no terrorist or bomb carrier was ever under 18, or carried a bomb because his family were threatened.

Small biz sees signs of recession ending

Paul Hates Handles

Retirement...

...the government WANTS us to retire though. More jobs for younger people and if they're lucky we'll die off saving them pension funds, NHS treatments and they can tax any money we have left and leave to our loved ones. Bastards.

Actually...

...Mother Theresa was pretty much the angel of death. She didn't ease anyone's suffering because she believed you needed to suffer to be closer to God - so her hospitals were the most awful places imaginable.

Utter, utter douchebitch.

What's the point in dressing IT up so women'll join? If they're nerds, they'll join. If not fuck 'em. Regardless of gender they're either IT nerds or asshats.

re: no way of knowing...

...I imagine the DRM could be checked online before playback, to validate the content hasn't expired. At that point you can assume the video is being played.

They can't really use that data because it would be a bit invasive... Not that I'd expect that to stop most companies

When is it going to be too much? Laws to protect us, no privacy to keep us safe, we're not a flock of sheep and the government aren't our shepherds.

They're meant to run the country, not run the people.

Tivo to return to UK in 2010

Paul Hates Handles

Way better than Sky+

My Tivo #1 is an awesome piece of kit. the Sky+ box could have benefited from their software as they're kinda crap.

Anyone want to buy a 160Gb #1 Tivo with a Terbonet card inside? :D

Microsoft hit with lawsuit over Xbox memory card ban

AC Maths FTL

I love the console @ £149 + £90 for hdd etc.

You could look at it as 120Gb xbox 360 with either GO2 + MW2, or Lego Batman + Pure + Extra controller for £199. Of all the folks I know with consoles the 360 actually gets played and their PS3s just get used as blu-ray players.

Game install timeslol etc etc. We can all pointlessly troll and use stupid maths to support backwards arguments. :)

Religious discrimination law may open door for decent deviants

What about...

...when things are conclusively proven to be rubbish?

Like mediums. There has never been a single proven tested instance of a medium being able to do anything other than simple cold reading.

So any "religion" based on that must surely be bollocks...

LG: watchphones for all in 2010

I imagine it'd have a flight mode / watch - only mode.

I'm more bothered by the screen res being 128x160.

Microsoft admits Mac was Windows 7 muse

Paul Hates Handles

So all of a sudden...

...Apple invented everything in the world ever??

They're both as bad as each other. Apple just have better marketing, "pretty" desktop wallpaper and metrosexual case designs. A badly configured + maintained Mac still crashes as much as a badly set up Windows box.

Xbox 360 Twitter, Facebook clients rated X

Hmmm

Firstly, MarkOne - You're a tit. Most of the people I know with xboxes are in their thirties. It has a fairly broad demographic already :)

Secondly, sod fapbook and twatter - but I am quite interested in what the addition of LastFM will offer. Streaming audio or even in-game audio based on your LastFM account could be interesting.
