World's oldest digital computer successfully reboots

Longrod_von_Hugendong

Stilll....

Its better than any modern MicroSoft OS.... probably quicker than Windoze vista.

Ignoring the mockery of M$ for now, its a wonderful thing to have back running, i am so glad we are preserving old machines. Well done those men.

HAH, Americans

Look around the world, Mercs are used as taxis - its only the Americans (some British people!!) who think they are an luxury brand. Mind you compared to the inside of most American cars, a Robin Reliant is the height of luxury.

I sit back and wait for the down votes to come pouring in... :D

Positive discrimination

Is still *discrimination* the only way it should be is fuck who has signed up, its open to all, and have the damn conference .

Moronic tard.

Fail, because this is even bigger than an Epic Fail.

Apple falls as rivals shake green tech tree

Lets re-headline this story...

Apple still damn sight better than most at being green(-ish)

I think this story is more telling about who is *not* in the list.

Mind you, not like i care what Greenpeace say anyway.

Facepalm

Just look...

At apple shares - wish i could back to 2000 and buy a few grands worth... will facebook do the same??? who knows.

I can tell you this for free, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

What a load of bollocks...

Let me sum this up...

1) Morality and the law *DO NOT* have any connection, look at your own expenses at the end of the month, yes i know you fiddle em a bit, everyone who has expenses does, or you have done at some point.

2) The companies all work within the law, LAW IS THE WORD, its what you HAVE TO OBEY, and you obey the word of the law *NOT* what it means or what its mean to mean.

3) There is nothing that can be done, WITHOUT CHANGING THE LAW <- that is the important bit, refer back to point number 1 and 2.

4) Nothing will change since all the MP's own companies are doing exactly the same thing, but at a lower point so we dont know about it.

5) If you are a working man, then bend over, here it comes again - you are happy not to risk anything in the world of business, so you sheeple get to reap the rewards.

6) This post will be down voted so hard, it might actually bounce :D - mind you, i dont actually care. (BTW this is a not a troll post, its how it really works in the world.)

RIM sets date for BlackBerry 10 reveal

RIM and Nokia

Both dead, just too stubborn and dumb to admit it.

Quarter of Brits don't believe that cell towers improve phone reception

Longrod_von_Hugendong

Lucky if you have...

anything > 2G - o2 here wont install any 3G - even though they are 'spending £1.5m per day' on the network. I can even see a mast from here. How much does it cost to install 3G services to a mast?

Surface sales 'modest' so far, Ballmer modestly admits

Well thats no surprise is it

its over priced, under spec'ed and a M$ product so its about as cool the surface of the sun. No one is going to want it.

It always amazes me that companies seem incapable of assessing whats required to sell, take a look at the Blackberry playbook and the palm products, there are lessons to be learn all over the market, all you have todo is to read, if they only ever read the register its obvious they are going to struggle from the offset.

No shit Sherlock - because the clues are out there and you dont need a detective to find them. I think even Bing may contain the answer...

Buy cheap...

Buy twice - just go and buy an iPad, job done and you get a device thats usable. Just to stop the rabid 'driod rent bois down voting this post until the internet breaks, i have a number of driod products and i do like driod but not having 1 stable ecosystem is killing it. iOS is better IMHO (cheap knock offs are never as good as the real thing to be honest :D)

No i am just waiting to see how low a post can be down voted...

Awesome

Will look forward to that - and the bugs it introduces :D

The iPhone 5 WILL do 4G magic on Three ... but not until next year

All of which...

Is totally moot, since we dont even have 3G coverage. Even though we are promised that they are spending 1.5m per day on the network. Doing what? Paying for Pr0n i think...
