Noobs

The Russians need to up their game a little, and take a leaf out the USA's book, and plain invade more countries. This is just quaint meddling. Where's the coup's? Where's the bombs? They're such noobs.

But these people aren't stupid

They just act stupid for attention, they know what they're doing perfectly well, and there's method and reasoning. It's a disservice to say they're dumb, because they're not, conniving and sleekit are more accurate.

I'm wise to this fake news thing. I get my info direct from The Sun and the BBC, they both work hard to tell me what to think.

Is it safe?

What I wonder, is, is it safe? Is it safe?? Is it safe?

No escape

Maybe these people will make a world so horrible, I'll be able to escape into an artificial one provided for me, where I have privacy, and can keep myself to myself... via Facebook of course. Here's hoping.

Monoploy

Is the monopoly and mergers commission still a thing? Or was that consolidated too.

Given their labour practices, I think they'd consider docking the money from their employees' pay.

Bright

Look on the bright side. When we're done with Brexit, and labour costs are lowered in Britain, we'll be a good source of cheap labour, able to be competitive and flexible enough to compete at the bottom. The future is bright, you just need the right perspective.

More asset stripping. It's the modern way.

I wonder, if I tried, I could find prurient titillation stories on the on the Daily Mail website in 2 minutes.

Rule by the rich, for the rich. There's a name for that, but it escapes me just now, I must Google it.

Count me in

Your article sounds so cynical. In reality, Apple are doing a marvellous job, and a red phone! Count me in! And they're contributing to charity, that's a poke in the eye to people who criticise them for not paying taxes.

How dare they!!!!1

Typical M$ &%$£&^$. Why do they have to ruin everything, so evil. This proves they really are the devil incarnate, as if proof were needed. I hate &&%£&*^ M$ so much.

Admiral Lister

"Vice Admiral Simon Lister"... They just need a Mr Rimmer to captain the vessel, and all will be well.

Shocked

A horrible corporate culture doing criminal acts, I'm shocked. Next they'll be tax evading.

Tough love

I'm with Amazon on this. Humans are a resource to be used, start paying fair wages and give them rights, and they'll start getting ideas above their station.

Outraged citizen

Putin is so evil, mind, that he'll connect the phone up and use it to hack other countries, with his own actual hands. And it will have a button to send evil texts to manipulate other governments. His audacity will only be extended with this narcissistic accessory.

Why is this phone being allowed? This tech will only allow Putin to manipulate and control us when we vote.

The Shadow

No-one knows when and where The shadow will appear...

Open for business

Red tape has to be cut to grow the economy, every self-respecting business person knows that.

Left-wing front

I get my news from the Sun, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia as far as I can't throw it. It's a left-wing front, deeply anti-American.

Pah

It's only 4 years, what damage could they do in 4 years?

Competition?

More concentration of power, less choice. I thought capitalist types were all about choice and competition?

It was just a flash in a pan.

I want to join

I want to join in with the MS bashing bandwagon, it looks fun up there, if a little crowded. I have no problems real or make-believe though.

Business as usual then

Is it news that large companies treat their workforce badly? It's standard practice, and anti-union, nothing new there. Working rights are 'red tape', we need to be 'open for business', 'business friendly', and 'flexible'.

Think bigger

Only 4.75million? That's childs play. Now if he'd thought bigger, and went large scale like the big boys, he'd make billions, and a pat on the back, maybe even a knighthood if he was mixi(buying)ng in the right circles.

So the Irish Government are forcing austerity on the public, and refusing to take due taxes from Apple. Shows you who they're really working for.

Revolving doors

It's how corruption and business are done, everyone's a winner. Unless you're a member of the public, then it sucks to be you.

Another copycat crime, when will it end.

The poor don't need any assistance. They can live happily off the contempt their superiors have for them.

Re: Carp Soup

So I'm not alone in suffering freezes, good to know others suffer too. It's why I'm moving to Vivaldi (once they get bookmarks functionality). Until then it's Chrome. Though, I'm browsing this in FF, I thought I'd give ver. 47 the benefit of the doubt, and I do want to love FF, but they make it difficult.

Isn't it a given that the Chinese and the Russians know all the US's secrets? Espionage is hardly new, and the way the Americans sub-contract out everything, there are lots of people with access to sensitive stuff, and on a low pay cheque. A little extra income on the side...

Tay: A river

The Tay is a river in Scotland, and a treacherous one at that, many a person has come up stuck trying to navigate it's waters.

Oh and the Tay bridge disaster, it fell down and had to be rebuilt.

Re: Carp Soup

I'm surprised Olympic sized swimming pools and football pitches aren't recognised standards. Every science programme uses those measurements.

Dashlane...

Is supposed to be good. Perhaps time to look at that (and other alternatives). Shame, I love(d) LastPass.

I suppose they'll copyright 'Music', if they haven't already.

Follow me on Twitter, I regularly post what I had for dinner, and when I last did a dump. It's quality stuff.

You can mute the TV for 5/6/7 mins every ad break, and turn it into a nice quiet 'me time'. I find that helps.
