I would have hoped people would realise a £14 server isn't targetting enterprises even if they could use it. It's clearly meant for small, maybe medium, business.

It costs less than a video game. What do you guys expect?

My guess is some anti-virus company maked this to try to drum up business or some windows fanboy who is butt hurt over the fact he loves the least safe OS.

Either way I suspect it's not real harm unless you like running random bits of unknown code.

The first time I watched super mario bros or street fighter, I was quite frankly depressed at how poor they were. Mortal Kombat wasn't much better.

But after watching them again they're not that bad for thoughtless entertainment and I'm glad I got them on DVD.

The more serious attempts that I've see are worse. Resident evil goes down hill very quickly and it just doesn't have enough excitement or horror. I saw tomb raider the other day on iplayer and it's shit. I'll certainly watch SMB again before I watch that. I don't think angelina was a good lara and daniel craig's shit accent and poor acting is a good reason for anyone to have been hessitant about him becoming Bond.

Even postal easily had more entertainment value than tomb raider.

QT is good and rather than being childish about it they should focus on the good things about QT rather than having a go at the competiton.

This why we need to punish companies (not the developers) that released shit code.

Considering how often data gets breached and how often a company is punished why would you pay decent wages for decent developers, test the code properly and take the time to do it right.

There's very little reason for so many systems to still be susceptible to SQL injection attacks.

Or stuff like Tesco sending plain text passwords. This stuff shouldn't be happening but there is no real reprecussions for producing a poor product.

the article is right

I can't help but feel the article is written in such a way to troll the commentards given it's obvious many of them are irrational fandroids.

But the article is correct. The problem though is that when the patent system was devised the lifecycle of items were not nearly as short, you didn't have multi-billion dollar corportations and far too many lawyers.

One thing I'd like to see is that patents can not be tranferable. That will kill off patent trolls which is a larger threat to the small guy than apple (or samsung).

There should be an easiesr system for the public to repsond to patent applications through the website with prior art. But it should require enough information from them that if they're just being a dickhead fanboy they can then be punished for wasting time.

Google TV is a dumb idea (like most competing solutions). If I want the internet on my tv, I'll hook a pc up to it and play anything I want and have a boat load of storage for all my ripped dvds and cds.

I acknoledge most people won't be inclinded to do the same but I suspect that doesn't meant they want some under powered box that is meant to not do much more than try to force you into paying googlre and film streaming companies.

It's not that new at all. The logo is the same as the outlook 2007 categorise icon except a flatter and possibly a couple of the colours switch around.

There's not that much you can do with those colors when creating a relatively simple logo I guess. Unless they want to copy google poke-ball / simon says logo.

Don't give them any compensation and tell them to suck it up.

The reality of the job is you need to find better ways to invade people's privacy without getting caught.

The headline implies apple started but (surpringly) tells the truth in the artcle making the headline a bit stupid and misleading. Which I guess sums up most of the content here.

Of course google pay people but admitting that will make their fanboys all butt hurt.

The company specialises in taking people's data even when they have no right to it and they can query that in mere milliseconds. But they want me to belive they can't figure out who their shills are?

The judge should bitch slap them if they comeback empty handed.

I like how the haters here who spend a considerable amount of time just on this site talking about apple are calling fanboys sad for cheering a company.

Yes, that may be true but it's infinitely less sad than spending each day hating on a company on the internet.

Fact is, apple make good hardware and software. People are getting fed up with windows. So until someone can come up with a good bit of hardware with quality software on top of it, apple will continue to do well.

I'm glad I don't live in the US where it standard to bend over for corporations acting like children.

They should ban every single tablet and phone until all companies can decide how to move forward like adults.

How much shit are taking? I can take a ds, phone and laptop all in a laptop bag. The phone and ds charge through the pc and the laptop has a nice small cord. It has a 256gb ssd. Who *really* needs more storage than that?

Sounds like some people just can't disconnect at all and must have all their toys with them all the time.

Seems to me if sweden can't guarantee he won't be shipped off to the US then he shouldn't go there. The US happily kills its own citizens for no reason other than they *might* be a terrorist and it locks up people forever for no good reason and has no qualms with torturing people.

In regards to human rights the US is about as bad as Hitler. So the UK should let him go and quit wasting our money.

And Clinton said he didn't have sexual relations with that woman. Does samsung thing that's a good excuse?

In a way I don't blame him. Android is gonna continue to get a repuation for being budget crap, they can't sell iOS so what else is there these days other than to ride this out and maybe quitely work on their own solution in the background.

Sure people can say Android has a lot of hand sets out there but that's because a lot of android phones are lon-end. Some are probably even Happy Meal prizes.

That article was pretty useless and doesn't have anything of value to really say. One of it's key points was over something that was a flaw with humans rather than software and largely due to the guy being a public figure with something of value that was relatively easy to take a hold of from a remote location.

And yes OSX is vulnerable to stupid users just like all operating systems. The 100% full proof system is one that gives you zero freedom.
