I'm so sorry.....

... but any Reg article that has "explain that sex is mandatory" & "intersex" in the text, brings out the childish 14 year old in me.

I'm off to draw knobs in people hands in the school books & sneek out for a sly ciggy behind the bike sheds.

Please wait before...

... you start having a pop at Tim, he has only been in the job for only 30 seconds.

He needs at least 6 months before we throw him to the Lions & then you can take a pound of flesh. If it was my 1st day a CEO my letter to the team would read :-

Team:

Your all fucked, I've spent the money on booze & slags.... last one down the job centre is a rotten Apple!!!

@ Craiggy

There is also no point in being the richest dead person in the graveyard either..... Might as well spend it while you got it.

Apple will 'own games industry'

Lord Lien
Gimp

Ha Ha...

"Apple is set to increase its dominance in the games industry and could own the whole shebang in ten year's time".. you could say that about any company Veep. Bit of a generic statement.

Sony, Nintendo & Microsoft are very big players in that arena. My Führer Jobs & Co, would have a hard time breaking into that market, especially as there is a wave of distrust in the direction that Apple seem to be going with developers at the moment.

Saying that, I know nothing about the new generation of consoles/games. I'm still trying to complete Super Mario World on the SNES 100%... may be after that I'll move on to Sonic The Hedgehog.

Anyone else remember the Viz adds Sonic?

Codemasters pulls website after hackers pwn customer database

Lord Lien
Gimp

@ Kurt S. Phising for accounts.....

They just send out these emails from a list in a database somewhere. Even my old man gets them all the time for WoW, Eve & Rift. There is no way he plays them or even knows what a mmorpg.

I seem to be getting YouTube ones all the time now, since you need to have a Google account to login to YouTube.

Hackers jailbreak iOS 5 in under 24 hours

Lord Lien
Gimp

@ Matt 89

There are also some geek apps that Apple will not allow on the Iphone.

Not everyone Jailbreaks their Iphone to install illegal copies of paid for apps..... Just wish Apple would not be to militant on what I can/cant have on my phone.

Lord Lien

Thats all bullsh*t...

Stop sexing up IT and give Civil Servants Macs, says gov tech boss

Lord Lien

I've done MAC/P.C support...

... for years now & people always seem to think "The grass is greener" if you were to go Apple.

Apple churn out just as many defective hardware units as HP/Dell & all the other hardware venders do.

If you want to be cost effective & still have the stability of OS X, the only way to go is Linux. Fedora or Ubuntu are my personal choices.

Apple shareholders demand CEO succession plan

Lord Lien
Joke

I'm taking over from Steve Jobs & I'm going too...

... take the shareholders money, fly to Vegas & put it all on black, on the roulette table.

I have either doubled their money or they will fire me & I will get a big pay off.... so its a win, win situation for me.

Google Apps boss says cloud computing is your destiny

Lord Lien
Boffin

Would you trust anyone with your data...

.... in the cloud, keeping it secure?

I know a few small companies who have moved to the cloud for email, but they all seem to want to retain data/files locally.

Do wonder what would happen if the Government asked Google to have access to your data. How quick would they would roll over for them. Does Google have the right to refuse any Government access to your data?

Console games 'hack' reseller gets community service order

Lord Lien

Was the fine for the pirate software &...

... not for actually putting modchips in machines?

After I purchase something its my right to do what ever I want with it. If I want to modchip my Xbox/PS or toaster I should be able too. I understand my rights to return the item within the warranty period are now no longer valid, but the law must understand, its mine & I can do what the devil I want with it.

Its a bit of a grey area as most people only modchip there machines, so they can play pirate software. I don't know any homebrew developers.

Mac App Store giving away pay apps for free

Lord Lien
Gates Halo

Will it be like the Iphone soon...

.. in there will an "alternative" app store allowing you to download what you want for free?

Could potentially see this happening. If this does I wonder how long before we see the 1st bit of malware that might actually do something.... then again nothing could happen ;)

Interesting times ahead for Apple for the home market, but us corporate fuddy duddies are gonna hate the app store with a passion...........

"But I had purchased a load of apps & you wiped my machine"

"No personal data on a work machine"

Happy Birthday my bug ridden friend.

You keep me in beer & cheap holidays. As long as I'm alive I want you to stay a bug ridden piece of bloatware that companies seem to be scared to replace. It pays the mortgage ;)

Paris icon, because even she knows a nice little earner when she sees one :)

Windows malware dominates Mac malware detection chart

Lord Lien

AV software on a MAC..

messes with the performance of the machine big time. If your a "home user" why would you need it? In big corporate where Sophos make money I can understand as you would not want to pass something onto a client.... but for home use.... would seem that Sophos are wasting there time & trying to scare people into using a product thats not needed.
