Re: Available in the UK

Indeed, I happened to see it advertised on the EE and O2 sites yesterday.

I didn't dare look at the prices though. I suspect I'll be hanging onto my S5+ come October

MINISTER: "Have you finished reading that report yet?"

LACKEY: "Yes Minister"

MINISTER: "Well sum it up in one sentence for me, I'm a busy man. These expense claims won't file themselves y'know"

LACKEY: "He says he hasn't got any powers, Minister"

MINISTER: "Ruddy cheek! Write him a letter and tell him he bloody well can't have any!"

Sick burn, brah: SpaceX test fires rockets for SES bird launch this week

Win-Win?

Either SpaceX will finally get one of their rockets to land on water, or we get another nice big firework show.

Personally, I don't see any downsides.

Good news: Adobe bangs out Flash patch fast. Bad news: Google's defenses were useless

Flash must Die

At home I have Flash disabled and I don't miss it, except when I want to use iPlayer (which is most often used on the telly). Even the usual pron sites still function (erm... so I am told).

Unfortunately at work I still need it enabled (click to activate though) for the Spotify Web Player, as I'm not allowed to install the client. The sooner Flash dies, the better. Even Adobe must see this, all these critical patches cost them money and bad PR

Advertorial?

Shouldn't these types of articles have an Advertorial indication, since that's basically what this is?

"this probably shows that 40 per cent of modern teenagers are just a bit soft."

Or, more likely, this probably shows that 40 per cent of modern teenagers parents couldn't give two shits about what their bastard hell-spawn are up to

"Are you still there?"

People seem to be getting far too comfortable with the idea of cameras everywhere, watching everything. Everyday getting closer to Orwell's vision, especially with the current breed of Commons Critter. I'm especially uncomfortable with the idea of a Cloud (AKA Somebody Else's Computer) connected system.

Audi RS3: Keep running up that hill, with no problems

Re: Dear ElReg...

Absolutely this. If you're going to insist on using these horribly compressed images in the articles, at least provide a link to the full-sized, uncompressed version so we can actually SEE what it is you want us to look at
