Is this something to do with Mandleson?

Whenever I see some EU-based crapness based around security and other bollocks its usually Sir Hiss who's got his fingers on it.

Massive fail and we can't even vote him out now.

Above & Beyond

Thank goodness they had the good sense to get A&B to do the DJ work.

The track is Buzz by Tranquillity Base trance fans.......

Utter cobblrs!

That's the attitude that brought Stalin's secret service so much power.

What an utter c*nt!

A vote winner

Someone must have put LSD in the tea at Labour Central.

M$ - those crazy Yanks!

"While Redmond schemes of making the Xbox 360 a complete media hub for households by adding more and more popular third-party services,"

They could also go a long way to making this happen if they sorted out the fans that make more noise than any other console on the market, awful overheating and reliability issues etc..... just a thought......

Great idea

Finally we can have cars that sound like the ones in THX 1138.

Actually, I'm surprised nobody came up with this idea earlier.

I hope someone like Saab (Koenigsegg) or Audi will have a go and see what could really be achieved.

I think the earlier comment about EA was a bit rough.

Nice move BT

That's right, instead of taking a hit from your own profits to fill the hole to pay for the bad management of your business we all pay for it now.

Maybe they should sell-off part of the business to raise the funds.

Win

Looking forward to seeing this, it's got to be better than some of the plot lines of the original.

Ideal destination for our MP's

I feel this would be an ideal opportunity for Labour to demonstrate how we should

"drink our own champagne".

The whole idea is a winner......

And you are surprised?

Yes, this really does smack of bullshit.

All the injured parties are left wondering what the hell has happened and the print owners are laughing.

Nicely done.

Diagio and others won't let it happen

I did some research and found that many well known and influencial MP's (from both parties) are on the boards of big brewing and tobacco groups.

Guess what will happen if someone tries to make a change to licensing laws.

The french are great.....

at making some cars more ugly than they need to be.

Maybe the designers are also doing freelance for Kia.

What about a flash?

Seems SE forgot this......

Silly silly people

Innicent until proven guilty

It's just a small point I know.....

But in this country isn't the burden of proof on the persecutor?

Seems a bit of an erosion of civil liberties to me.

$ky arse again

I still have no idea why people continue to subscribe to their expensive service.

Football?

Go down the pub and have a few pints with your friends.

Sky1?

Oh great, Simpson's, Futurama etc.

All available on DVD and advert-free.

HD?

How much extra?

As was quoted further up there, a fool and his/her money are soon parted.

.

Yawn...

Greenpeace, a good excuse to be sanctimonious in public while wearing clothes that desperately need putting in the laundry.

I get sick to the back teeth of their mother hen - wagging finger attitudes, maybe they could come up with some solutions for a change?

Yes, big companies are all very very bad and evil, we know.

3???

hahahahaha

Some kind of joke?

If you've ever tried to get a voice call from them, you'll pity poor souls/fools that sign up to this.

Fuckwits!

I can't believe this happened.

Please tell me it was an inside job instigated by the hateful Daily Mail rag to get back at the Manchester paper.

And to think, I nearly took a job there too.

FAIL fail fail

And again I say - Fail!

Was someone on the board of the procurement department?

What the hell is UKPLC doing farming-out this work to EDS?

I've worked for 2 companies who did this and guess what.....

I laughed

Well done to the enterprising man.

Shame Linux isn't universally user friendly.

I dream of a day I can f disk and rid my life of Redmond's influence.

Sunlounger-dwelling bastards will howl

The Murdoch (Sun) and Curly (Daily Mail) organs are gifted another slightly non-story at the expense of the BBC.

Fail!

BBC execs were stupid when *I* was there,

but this new chap really seems to be trying to raise the bar.

I wonder why WW keeps getting people in who have no 'nouse' or understanding of the digital economy - or more importantly - audience needs.

I could pull a better marketing strategy out of my arse.

Don't come crying to me when Murdoch gets you disbanded and sold-off you eejuts!

The problem is you and me.

If you want decent coverage, you need to have masts near to places that users are.

Due to the sort of *intellectual reasoning* of Daily Mail readers and people who are lead blindly by 'screeching' reactionaries and Doctor's wives, network operators have difficulty in placing cells.

"Not in my back yard" is the cry... and then, "why isn't my phone working? I want my money back waaaaaaa!"

What these people don't realise is that a local cell kicks-out less RF and using a phone that's trying to cling onto one bar of coverage. This is due to the locally attenuated engineering designs built-into all cellular networks and phones. Closer to a mast, less RF etc.....

Next time some badly informed person comes knocking at your door, send them packing if you want to get decent coverage.

Good

Let's hope they stick to this.

Police cars are a much more useful speeding deterrent and tend to make drivers think a bit more.

Unmarked cars - doubly so.

Hahaha, the party's over O2

It makes me smile to think about that grinning CEO in heated meetings late into the night with his team of "not-as-cool-as-they'd-have-you-believe" staff.

Boo hoo, some of your customers are going to leave for better networks.

CQCQ - fail

It's pretty sad that nobody actually checked the RF harmonics in this kind of kit before it was offered to the public....... oh..........

Oh

Tragic that people are choosing to take their own lives. NO job is worth that!

FT needs to be more clear with its staff as to plans, objectives and expectations.

In other words, this company needs to give its staff a good listening to.

I am a bit surprised that the 'pressure' is so great that the unions haven't called everyone out on strike however, after all, this is France.

Nicely done

Well done Orange.

At least O2 will have less to crow about!

What, no DTS input?

And for those of us who choose not to pay Murdoch a monthly fee, what about FreeSat integration?

Oh, what a missed opportunity for HD.

Outstanding, moonbase by 2099?

I'm looking forward to Commander John Koenig flying up there in Eagle 1.

I just hope that they don't start dumping nuclear waste up there, which leads to a chain reaction causing a massive explosion sending the Moon hurtling out of Earth's orbit.......

Monopoly

.... and a cartel that actively discourages new operators from joining.

I ran a radio station in the Midlands for a while and we were very serious in trying to obtain a space on a DAB mux. We contacted the main players who ran the existing multiplexes, but were told they were full. Upon closer inspection they had self-filled with automated services (carrying no advertising). When we queered further the costs quoted were more than prohibitive for anyone other than operators trying to maintain their dominance through sheer size.

The economics don't add-up and while listeners are not getting more choice or a perception of an improved service this 'switch-over' will never happen.

Forget the quality issue for a second, the real problem lies at Ofcom's door for not thinking the regulation through.

@ac

I think you need to lay down dear and relax.

Good lad!

This man must be looking for a career in politics.

Not again

£100-200M yeah right....

A voice in the wilderness

You can really imagine the C.I.O of BAT or Hailburton thinking seriously about this can't you.

Maybe if the schools all had open source as standard, things would change in - say fifteen years.

Tail wagging the dog

Blimey, some of you lot....

It was my understanding that IT works for the business .

O2 can provide a decent service?

I think there must be a joke here somewhere.....

And with BT getting into the party - another six bills to add to the rain forest of crap coming throught people's doors.

Excellent news

I'm so glad The BBC hasn't forgotten that some people actually like to be mentally stimulated.

Looking forward to this.

ITV and $ky, are you listening you low-rent bunch of IQ-retarding eejuts?

You gone taken a wrong turnin' there boy!

Nice to see that Alabama is doing all it can to retain its hold on the 1850's

Up next, weekly cross burning!

A step too far

While I agree children must be protected, we don't live in a society packed full of child molesters.

This is another example of how a failing government is trying to control the population.

Talk about the stupidity of educated people.

The freaks that want to abuse children will just go underground and it will become more difficult to track them.

Well done unelected government, another triumph.

I'm glad they are trying to make this work

At least they bothered, nobody else seems to give a rat's arse about coverage these days.

Wot, no rail gun?

This announcement is brought to you by the Number 10 press relations department.

Poor souls

My parents go out there on a regular basis (something to do with church work) and regularly bring back the most depressing and vile stories of how this country's government is little more than a bunch of "East-End thugs in suits", but about twice as crooked.

Most of the people who live there consider themselves to be rich if they own a bag of rice.

Taxing the only way they can communicate in an affordable manner is another example of their corrupt and utterly despicable ruling class.

Rant over,

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a communist uprising there one day soon.

Nice work M$

Telling people what they know already.

Linux is a hobbyists OS unless you have ninja-like skills, but it's free and fun to mess about with.

Why wouldn't someone download an iso and install as a dual boot?

I wonder what sort of people these leaflets are aimed at? The over 60's?

Looks great.

All I want is a phone that does voice, has a keyboard and does text.

It also needs a decent comms module that is sensitive enough to not drop calls.

If I wanted to code on the train I'd take a laptop.

I hope the 'feel' of the keyboard is as good as it looks.

Good work Sony Ericsson.

Great

Another way to have us all frightened, where do they get these ideas from?

Fox News?

Can't say I'm surprised

Just look at the scale of the task.....

This is what happens when there is no regulation, watch out UK when BT gets let off the hook.....

too late

Why ever did MS continue diversifying away from their core business into a market where they don't have the product to win.
