Re: Agile Experts

Coming soon to a workshop near you!

Re: I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

Keeping a promise, yes, but revealing himself to be an incompetent buffoon in the process...

Re: Given the description of a controlled aliased signal

Or overkill given the applications for the accelerometer in today's phones... "Oh noes, my fitbit has been spoofed!"

I was rather confused by your comment until I went back and re-read Elephant correctly as Elephone...

Re: OMG!

Incredible really, given my Samsung TV can't even do a software update in the background when it's turned on!! I'd be happy for them to listen to my kids argue about minecraft videos if they could make Sammy's crappy software a bit better while they're there...

Re: Airblade, airfield, airware

Whenever I see a Dyson <anything> in action I wonder where the money is going.

Kudos to the man for putting his money where his mouth is though!

Re: I want one

Don't think it was actually in the article: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mobile-device-phone#/

Re: Makes you wonder

I bet the chief exec-level remuneration was a lot better, and involved a lot less work, going with Elop than, you know, actually running a phone business.

Re: Clickbait title!

One of the things I least like about El Reg - a perfectly good engineering story spoilt with irrelevant crap. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for stories about irrelevant crap, but I prefer them kept separate from the real ones!

Re: Absolutley Brilliant

Nah - killed by a falling caravan!

Re: I'd prefer my sparking water de-electrified!

Okay - now fixed in the article ;-)

Seriously, WTF should you be doing with a lift that is not already done by going from floor to floor on demand.

I can think of a couple of things, but you have to be quick...

Re: Planned adolescence...

Subtle joke or auto-correct fail?

I couldn't tell...

Re: We all need less stress...

Sounds like it's turned up to 11 and all they need to do is turn it down a notch or two...

Consumer hostile companies

Are there any that aren't on the list??

Re: Can we please have AI articles written by people who unjderstand technology?

OMG - how can anyone who has ever seen the output of Microsoft, Google, et al, ever disagree with this post! Let alone anyone who has worked on commercial projects...

Who are you, the bastard offspring of Steve Bong and amanfrommars??

Same bureaucratic mindset though...

She's been conned!

We had smart meters installed - the electric works as a hub for the gas and, presumably, uses mobile to report back. No wifi required. Sounds very dodgy to me!!

You don't get a severance package for just doing a good job - you need to be a major suck-butt for them to toss you a bone. The rest of us get sweet FA!

Last time I was asked to set a password I entered approx 20 random letters and numbers. It was rejected for not containing any upper case characters...

Re: Has The Reg sold it's soul to the highest bidder?

To be fair they have to pay the bills somehow. Especially with all their bl**dy minded readership insisting on using ad blockers ;-)
