boogle

like it, you tell em!

I remember a few years back getting excited when hearing the latest google retoric, web this online that. at one point my fridge was going to online and would be googleing for the best price for my impending cheese replacement requirement. the replacement of MS office was with a web app was a full gone conclusion back then.

guess what came of all the bla bla! nothing. installing applications locally on a locally installed operations system is going to be a reality for a while yet i think and when i read this native client BS stocking filler rubbish i just sigh nowadays.

yawn

oh great yet another distribution of linux to confuse and disapoint.

I may start up a business selling external cd drives or pre configured SD cards so people can install xp without the headache most have, this time next year i could be a miwyunaire! I have an eeepc and didn't take me long to make the switch i can tell ya now its a great machine just which i'd have opted for a model with the atom rather than celeron

lucky

the right people got wiff of this.

poor bloke

@ crime/ timers i agree but the point is he's gonna get delt with far more harshly than he ever could have accounted for.

my guess is though that he'll only do a small amount of time in the US in some nasty jail then he'll be transfered back to a comfy cell here in the UK with playstation do a couple of years and probably get a degree

next stop cushy IT security job?

not so bad

at least they are paying them this time rather than brainwashing them. it's a step forward

whats the problem

Come on people remember this is an 'I'-Phone? 'I'Phone! it doens't even need to work to be cool, i'll take three please

horses for courses

if your willing to shell out like a drugged lemming for all the normal over priced icrap that apple curns out who to say you wont go the extra yard and shell out for this and really enjoy it. one mans plastic tat is another mans innovation.

Personally I commend this app if only all the proceeds we given to poor children in Africa it would be perfect!

@Tom Maddox

I wish I had time to give you a more intelligent explanation as to why you are a smug but completely misinformed imbecile with what seems to be a mild case of aspergers, but I haven’t. needless to say really but you really out did your self here though :D

oh dear

this thread was only going to go one way given the headline, can i add that OSX is also crap and full of security holes or would that be adding fuel to the fire! hehe

sorry it's a slow tuesday, i'll get me coat now

ok

lets agree they belong to the same family?

i wonder

If rather than building materials for moon towns complete with moon town halls and charity shops etc.. and for oxygen production what NASA are really thinking is this could used alongside robotic return vehicles to harvest large amounts of dust/rock from the moon to bring back to earth. As we all know Moon dust is supposed to be rich in ‘helium 3’ a possible component in future fusion based power generation.

tiscali tv

At these speeds does it mean my tiscali TV will actually work?

Just had a spare axe to throw into the mix

this is shocking

I think these larger cup sizes should be subsidiesd by the tax payer this would encorage more ladies to have large fun bags.

I will boycot m&s from here on and should any topless campain take place I will certianly attend to offer my support

somethings

a-foot

switch back?

osx is full of holes

hang on a mo..

Didn't we all used to moan about how often we were being given updates to IE and pointed to this fact as an indication of how insecure it was. at that time firefox had very few security updates some said this was because no one but us techies were actually using it the couter argument was that because there were so few updates it was an indication that it was an incredibly secure browser.

I think we need to keep a hold of the ground here people.

persoannly i have gone back to IE as there is just no benifit to me having firefox installed anymore i suspect it is becomming a little less secure than IE these days and also seeing as i can't uninstall IE why have two, hey but thats another argument

shall i get my coat?

does it come in pink?

people are driven by marketing that is Apple's strongest area not hardware and certainly not software.

Their hardware is generally pc bits bundled together oftern with poor cooling and power provisions and a rather oversized price tag, software is a clunky bsd oh sorry osx i forgot.

overpriced yes slightly backward software eh yes (be honest) well marketed yes (I like their style), now if only they could bring out a pink version and get it on the set of neighbours I'd bloodly well buy one. winning solution. if only us consumers would give up thinking alltogher and just let apple take care of us.

i must have a death wish dissing MAC, call it easter madness

anti microsoft sentiment?

Just noticing of late El Reg's anti microsoft sentiment has slipped from a healthily irrational hatred of all things MS to a more radical lefty, wishy woshy, girly wirly, namby pamby tree hugging google snoggin open source love feast. since when did el reg go veggie? have you guys started recycling your pizza boxes as well now?

SORT IT OUT! any more of this and i may as well start reading slashdot and will consider coming to Reg HQ and sticking a copy of Unbuntu where the sun don't shine oooh. or I could start reading ms tech net there I’ve said it!

consider this a friendly slap around the face from a concerned friend

Unbuntpoo

common admit it it's friday! its a major bummer for unbuntpoo i'm sure it'll get sorted out, before you can fix a problem you must admit you have one :D

regarding the attacking of Linux fan boys with regard to their sexuality i would never do that neiter would i accuse them publicly of being mummies boys who have never kissed a girl no in fact i would see that as imature and generally un called for. as for all the klingon references it is everyones right in a free society to be a sad git appoligies if i implied that wasn't the case ealier.

p.s my only pet hate with linux is that it never works quite right, i'm getting me coat, quick!

Targeted

I guess those pesky VX'res did some reasearch when they found this one.

ok guys we've found a hole in osx, right best place to exploint this for the average Mac user? ok we're all agreed then porn sites it is!! lol

new meaning to perverts in macs, I'll get me coat now...

Hardly the head of a pirate ring

Common I don't think it is actually illegal to provide links to content on the internet, if that is the case then we need to dig further and bust anyone who ever linked to tv-links which in-turn linked to illegal content. I think trading standards made a bit of a booboo here and I for one hope they get there sorry asses kicked for it as they should have a better understanding especially if they plan to bust down peoples doors.

Bet the register has linked to dodgy sites before in articles so watch out!

Maybe good will come out of this in clearly establishing that this kind of activity simply isn’t illegal.

Also this was a pretty good site and I miss it, although I never downloaded anything I just liked the design a lot, honest!
