Things i dont want...

1) Red hot poker inserted anywhere.

2) Cold poker inserted anywhere.

3) All my web surfing / details sent to M$.

Plus its all on Apple devices, so M$ would only be unhappy :D

Free press is like communism...

a good idea in principle, but fails when people get involved who cannot keep their hands out of the cookie jar - like in all soups, scum rises to the top

and like communists, journalists need to be shot on sight.

4G - what is the point...

4G is totally pointless, on my phone i look at twitter, facebook, email and some web. Mega fast broadband is not going to help me. The dumb limits on 4G prevent you from streaming anything / downloading anything.

So i reiterate - what is the point. I would rather the mobile companies spent the money getting us 3G everywhere, i dont just mean 98% of the population, i mean everywhere.

Also, try Three out in the wilds of scotland and Shetland - you will be glad you went with Vodafone or O2.

The Dancing Pony add is a case in point - I know where its filmed on Shetland and i can tell you there is bugger all Three signal there. I was thinking of complaining to the ASA about it. :D

At least...

1) We are told about it

2) There is a patch.

Unlike another company(s) i could mention, that wouldnt tell you and release a patch 6 months from now once a load of machines are compromised.

Exists only to be nasty...

No, it also has playmobile models.

If you can stand the heat, dont be a pretentious twat - and get orf the internet :D

Come on....

Everyone knows the UK invented the modern world.

Working on it for so long...

Yeah, 30 seconds after information about an Apple watch - sometimes i think Apple make stuff up, leak it to see what Samsung does. Quite funny really.

More proof...

that windows 8 has bombed, it will never seen any real corporate use - Lenovo knows it, everyone knows it.

I wonder how it feels at M$ not talking about the elephant in the room, when its trumpeting over the conversations, and shitting all over the computers there. Maybe they use macs :D

so...

how much are you being paid to promote sim-shity? lots by the amount of articles...

wouldnt be so bad if they were any good to play.

Holy Crap

I hated google reader, and i wanted my RSS Feeds over many devices - so i built my own Cloud-based RSS feed reading system. I need to get on and make it commercially viable now.

Why dont Skype (M$)...

Declare war in France - problem solved.

35 Kms

Why is the distance in Km??? We work in miles last time i checked. Try not to be Eurotards please.

naked???

'meaning customers will be naked and vulnerable to hackers and viruses'

How is that different to running Vista, windoze 7 or 8???

Missing option...

Start trek first contact - excellent film.

Also, just added 'Forbidden Planet' to my love film rental list.

By the time you have messed about...

Stick a gun the users head outside and ask for the password.

No point in bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Ok, lets get this clear for people...

There are only 3 certain things....

1) Death

2) Taxes

3) M$ products are crap.*

You are not going to get out of this life alive, so go and enjoy yourself.

* Added to try to make it a bit about computers.

No idea...

Who you are, who you were or what you did...

so long and thanks for all the fish - enjoy your new job doing whatever it is you do.

WTF...

El Reg is basically the Daily Mail with added computers - if you didnt know that, then you are really in the wrong place.

meh,

I have been less than impressed with icloud, i personally preferred mobileMe.

icloud might be free but you get what you pay for.

Mind you...

spending 8.1 Milllllllion whatevers should mean the tape(s) are not empty or just contain readme.txt when you need to get something off them.

Now, first prize to anyone who can span all the tapes using tar and gzip WITHOUT looking at google for the command line switches :D

lol, users

1) Tell everyone the cameras are down, been not working for 2 weeks - really hard to fix. woe is us.

2) Profit from idiots who now speed

i might be a tad paranoid though.

So..

So much easier to just burn the methanol... which my V8 will use (give or take)

- or, just thinking out loud here -

what i would really like is a methanol (Alcohol) powered car, with a hydrogen powered fuel cell for city driving (Where my car is not overly efficient, ahem), then just run my V8 for country roads / off road where power is required. Bingo, problem solved.

soho ==

the home of dumb ideas - are these people promoted out of the way so we can actually get on with things?

5G???

zOMFG - we dont even have 3G where i am, how about getting the network(s) up to some kinda of standard first.

asshats.

When will the studios realise...

1) There stuffs effective value is 0, you can get it for free, from a torrent site and play it anywhere. (Stuff is worth way people are willing to pay for it.)

2) DRM is pointless, it just annoys people like me who are willing to pay something for viewing/listening to top quality stuff, on anything i want in any format i want. If i cannot get it how i want it for the device i want it on, see point 1

3) CD's in the 1990's made the prices too high, see point 1

4) Dont do any DRM, save the money on paying for it, make all your stuff available for a few pounds, and see lots more money come in. Lets face it would you rather sell 1 at £20 or 10000 at £2.

People in entertainment land need to realise there methods of payment / distribution died 10 years ago. No matter what you do its not coming back.

If you go in to McDonalds

Then you need to be beaten up anyway for being a chav / ned.

Quite frankly...

I hope he does.

Of course Samsung innovates...

look at that, its nothing like an Apple product.... oh, hang on...

Ignoring the blatant coping of designs in Korea, i think Google might bring Chrome to the party about 2 years and the iPad to late.

FFS...

When will the far east innovate rather than bandwagon?

'Hey samsung copies everything, my be we should too'

Big trouble....

This is gonna take crackerjack timing, Wang.

So, the jist of the problem is...

A total stranger messages you, then strips off and tells you to do the same etc etc.

I would like to remind the world of the twin sayings - 'A fool and his money are soon parted' and 'Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited'.

and let me append

WELL. DUH.

The problem with USB is not the way around they are...

but how close they put them together... they are the exact distance apart so nothing else will fit by 0.5mm. Drives me nuts.

Hacked my arse...

She excepts the money, then uses the better product - Also just in the news, the top man at CrapBerry just sold all his shares. That shows confidence in his company. Rats and sinkingship comes to mind.

FAIL because thats whats happening at BlackBerry.

If they electrify the M25...

just do the left hand lane, maybe then it would keep Audi, Merc and BMW drivers over to the left, rather than hogging the outside lane(s).

Also ran + Also ran =

Also ran, who would have thought it.

Well no one at Yahoo - maybe they should have googled it.

Camera watching me, watching them...

DO. NOT. WANT.

Shutter for the camera - like i believe thats not see though.

BB RIM - however you name them...

They are dead, they just done know it yet - but like another phone company that begins with a N...

During the move...

I basically got rid of all my old, hoarded machines (Best being a P3 800) now i just use my laptop with virtual machines. Its not nearly as much fun and it really doesnt look as cool as old machines doing things with no cases on them and loads of wire everywhere. Such is progress...

(Mind you its a lot quicker to tidy away and SWMBO doesnt moan as much about my experimentation :D)

I hope he has...

a bluetooth headset, i for one would not want it near my ear or mouth.... :D

WTF....

Mouse and screen sharing??? Get [*nix|OSX|FreeBSD], learn how to use <insert your shell here> and SSH, that is all you need. Get some PI's or old cast off gear.

Ambitious...

But rubbish,

Basically windows 8 is like anything the topgear lads touch....

How would M$ makes short work of this...

in court? its not using any there code, its not modifying the .exe's in anyway, i cannot see how this would be a problem.
