Acid Test

The acid test for this plane is going to be "Can it carry out a carrier landing with a full armament", if the anwer is no then it will be unfit for the most basic carrier operation, the combat air patrol.

Libel

If my ISP were to send me a letter accusing me of illegal filesharing I would be able to issue a writ against them for libel. However, how would I then prove (as required by law) that the statement they made was false?

iPhone tops mobile browsing charts

The truth is in the price

I would argue that this is less to do with the iPhone interface (good as it is) and more to do with the tariffs currently on offer. Prior to the iPhone contract from O2 there was only one realistically priced data option available, and that from a company who's coverage was so spectacular as to earn it the nom de plume One-to-nOne.

Personally I would much rather have bought an N95 or similar phone if I could have had it on the same terms as O2 offer for the iPhone. My only real complaint about the iPhone contract is the fact that you're stuck with a measly 500 texts per month.

When more data tarriffs start being offered by the mobile companies I think we'll start to see an increase in the use of the other mobile browsers.

Wilde's Nationality

Oscar Wilde was British. This is evidenced by the fact that he was Irish and he lived and died during the period where the RoI was part of the UK.
