"Researchers at the Max Planck Institute are trumpeting as a breakthrough the successful teleportation of quantum information over a whole 21 centimetres."

I remember when I could get my girlfriend exited over half of that. Boffins are such size queens.

Paris. The queen of size queens.

Anti-virus not included?

I suppose I'll be expected to upgrade my blu-ray collection now.

How is that fair

"and its contents will be of major interest to anyone running massive Linux-based infrastructure clouds."

So this won't be available for my Azure based solutions?

As you were Gentlemen

Continue to code yourselves into irrelevancy.

Tux cause you're always free to change.

Could it be!?

"Although Kim Jong-un normally likes to broadcast videos of himself trying out the latest Nork military tech, Pyongyang has not yet commented on the cyberattack claims."

Could it be that the illustrious Un is just a script kiddie and they fear we'll find out?

Because I assume he's smart enough to push a button.

Don't blink.

Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe, don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink.

Mine's the one that's hiding the forth coming <quantum> tag.

Obviously not.

"A 'final' office action does not signal the end of reexamination at the USPTO, much less the end of..."

It's not final, until it's final, unless it's final... and all that?

Even Paris knows when she's finished.

I don't suppose we'll be seeing any actual new today? Did we give the rest of our Reg hacks the holiday off?

What's in your wallet?

Cash. It's called cash. No fees required.

Jolly Roger because now we know where all the pirates went.

Ubuntu

So this is how we're taking down China? After their first apt-get dist-upgrade they'll be back to the stone age.

Story of my life.

I gave a girl tadpoles and she wouldn't even swallow.

Paris, because she knows what to do with the young pollywogs.

If you wanna be elite...

You gotta do a righteous hack.

Yarr, we'll be taken the booty and the baby wearing it.

So now we have to worry about quadcopters stealing our babies?

...You know, if we had babies?

The real story.

Wait, North Korea has a tech blog?

Perhaps Gentleman...

Now we can get back to the business of creating mobile devices?

Verboten

From accessing computer systems for five years. Unless you're in prison, of course.

I'll wait for the next elevator.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

“Is this the way you’re meant to interact with other people? It’s kind of emasculating. Is this what you’re meant to do with your body?”

Good question, Sergey. What does my private data tell you?

Poor Andy sounds so put upon. Perhaps he needs a break.

But does it play snake?

We still allow third party cookies?

Mines the one with peanut butter cookies in the pocket.

Does this make it more... or less "cool" to hate Microsoft?

Tux. Cause penguins, like bow ties, are always cool.

"Microsoft plans to make information explaining exactly which patents it owns available to anyone on the web by April 1, 2013."

I'm obviously not the first one here to wonder which patents I'm infringing by using Linux.

To quote a certain narrator "The world may never know."

Tort? We don't twist that way.

He might want to sue his lawyer as the lawsuit will likely do more damage to his reputation than any mobile application will.

The rest of us will have to wait six months before we get this feature on our droids. Those iPhone kids have all the luck.

Paris. Why not?

Battery is at 10%

One of half a dozen stories on battery technology breakthroughs in the last few years. It's always either smaller size, faster charging, longer life, or higher capacity. I'd love to see these boffins put their heads together and get some of these things to market.

Episode IV - A NEW HOP.

A few packets ago on a network far, far away....

Surely it's not Facebooks fault the stock isn't worth what people paid for it.

Old Irony-side

They sunk our battleship!

And a bottle o' rum. Yarr.

"This isn’t something that companies like Microsoft and Apple will undertake lightly,..."

What a scary world it'd be if we only had two choices. That is, those two choices.

Now that that's settled.

Opera should release the presto engine under a BSD/Apache/Your flavour of open source license and see what a community can do with it. Then even after the switch nothing has truly been lost.

Have they thought to ask it by for a bit of tea?

Can the United States government make the right choice? Someone buy Obama a copy of Hackers and maybe Angelia can convince him to support the effort.

Mines the one with the directors cut of Hackers.

It could be argued that a browser like IE 6 could not only trigger homicidal rages, but encourage those in such a state outdoors!

They missed out on the perfect design when their space station failed to resemble a penguin pushing a vacuum.

Just another reason I'd never install Gnome on a personal machine.

Is it true that one of these bricked lappys is still more useful than one that boots Windows 8?

Not real? Try telling that to my grand dad.

Next you'll be saying no ones ever really seen a penguin.

Why not jump in their type 40 mark 3 then have Hartnell play himself?

Oblivious are the money makers?

It's all smoke and mirrors anyways.

As long as I can still afford a pint at the pub.

Wasn't Schmitt wearing Google Goggles™? Coincidence? I think not.
