You can shoot someone dead in the street and walk away, but your're fucked if you swear.

Some tube driver is going to put down his jaz mag and spring to my defense if someone has a go at me on the viccy line!

An excellent opportunity to...

Give Turing a posthumous OBE, and then dig up the pointless old farts who persecuted him and display their skulls on spikes.

nerrrr....

Whilst Neu-Labour didn't cause the global financial problems, more prudent (ah the irony) Government saving during the good times would have buffered the effects. Having said that the previous Tory government were no better. No north sea oil sov fund for us.

And knocking a few points of VAT temporarily just cost businesses a bit more in accountants and stationary. SO I suppose it might have stimulated those sectors.

And high end brain-drain in the public sector? Not likely from my experience.

Apple's iOS 4 beams into unprepared world

fairly epic fail...

Had a Ipone 2G jailbroken for 2 1/2 years. Kindle multi-tasks fine on it via backgrounder/proswitcher (albeit a bit slowly) as does most other stuff without being re-written.

So another example of Mr Jobbie trying to stitch us up with a "new" release.

I'm bailing out to an HTC Desire....don't think apple can justify the price premium now other platforms have caught up.

As for the fan-bois vs Apple-bashers...Its only a phone you sad cnuts.
