Your attitude is typical of why people hate many Apple users without getting to know them first. I don't know you and I think you're a smug prick who's superiority complex makes me want to vomit in your face.
Stevie Devil as branding & marketing twats like Omar are teh spawn of satan.
"(b) that State's policy on the death penalty and its current Death Row throughput rate?"
So we can look forward to a Simpson's style episode where the ex-con's murderous personailty still alive in the liver assumes control of Mr Jobs and starts to wreak revenge on those that helped convict him......
.....coooooool
Perhaps it is indeed the athlete's foot fungus from Chuck's foot (sacrilege I know) that was passed from Chuck to Sumo after numerous roundhouse kicks from hither to thither.
Although to be fair to Sir Norris Athlete's Foot isn't probably known as a fungal infection on Chuck, probably something snappier like.....<insert comical name here>
Title says it all as far as I'm concerned.
On a tangent somewhat. I'd also like to place on record my loathing of that Audi advert on TV that has that "take you riding in the car car" song on it. Makes me want to brick the TV but if I did that then no Xbox so I have to refrain.
Oh yeah, that bloody Muller advert has come one again...my resistance to bricking the TV is shrinking rapidly.
but it just flies in the face of open transparent Democracy. How can disclosing the decision making process and the arguments of the time be bad for Democracy?
Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Hiding something? Then you must be scared of someone (in this case the voting populous that voted you and will vote you out) finding out something.
Wankers.
snigger snigger, you eejit. I think he meant maintain the monopoly of the provider that currently has the iPhone on it, as provided to it by Apple. I can see where the opportunity to pedantically jump in with both feet came from though.
Yes, technically not a perfect theoretical monopoly as the iPhone is available on other providers but given the price is so astronomically high it's pretty much guaranteed that a virtual monopoly will be kept by the provider (and by Apple as they supply the provider) as I assume there aren't that many people that want the iPhone so badly to pay the exorbitant amount of money they are asking for unlocked ones.
I could be wrong though.
Paris, as even she'd see what Gautam meant to say.
Not a pop at Chris Williams at all, it's nice to see someone stating the f*****g obvious in b&w. I wonder how long it's taken that director of research for technology and telecommunications Paul lee so see his nose in front of his face. There is no money in social networking, if there was it wouldnt have such an excrementitious word such as 'monetize' woven into it. Still, Zuckerman will be laughing all the way to the bank regardless......ooh, the Sopranos have started on HBO, I'm outta here!
Peace, and a Happy New Year to all fellow El Reg-ers.
Yeah they could have easily said no. I'm not sure what the Wal-Mart sales predictions are or how much cut they get from each phone & contract combo sold but they both must multiply together to make it financially worthwhile.
I wonder how much they argued and cajoled about dropping the price, maybe Jobs said upfront "there will be no price drops or extra incentives...now let's talk business"
I'd love to get one, an iPhone (I love my iPod Touch) I really was wanting to buy the 3Jeez version when it came out but I'm gonna hang back until it's untethered from O2 so you can PAYG and they bring it up to a similar level of gadgetry & function on my current Nokia.
Stop icon, as that's what I've done with regards to purchasing said iPhone.
"According to research by LG Electronics the average person in the UK will spend £350 ($516) on home cinema equipment this Christmas"
O Rly?
sniff...sniff...I smell shite.
I also think that while the days of the DVD may well be numbered in media terms, the futureseers out there need to wipe the shit from their glasses in order to see clearly in that they think that once DVD goes everyone will suddenyl upgrade all their kit to Hi-Def? Don't think so chum. Look at the time and hassle on trying to ensure that as many people as possible are ready for the analogue switchoff for a comparison.
If I gave my boss some critical experiment results based on plausible yet unsubstantiated information I'd be sacked, I'd expect to be sacked. Why not these loons?
I suppose they have to cattle prod the Merkin populous every now and again to remind them they are "at war".
Paris - cos I'd be in about her like a dug wi' a burst baw
So what did people blame for twattish behaviour before the GTA series started? Twats like this have always been around behaving like this so why try and blame the GTA games or videogames in general?
As for the 'scant respect for women' quote, I'd go so far to say that in the game you can show scant regard for pretty much anyone in general if you so choose.
So the guy is a violent sex criminal, lock him up, throw away the key and let the rest of us 'normal' people play games as we want. Now if you excuse me I've got some OAPs to baseball bat.
“We’re trialling it online, where it’s a manageable area and allows us to get feedback from both advertisers and viewers. It gives us another tool in the arsenal, and it’s subtle.”
Here's some feedback, ram it up yer arse. Another reason not to visit their website and another reason on the very long list of why advertising & marketing types should F.O.A.D.
They've withdrawn the 160GB version? I'm surprised, I love mine, never go round Asia without it. Still got about 18GB free as well!
@ Webster - I'm no Apple fanboi but please, fuck off and do your tiresome trolling elsewhere. It wasn't ever funny, or clever and no-one's interested.
