Apple's ONE LESS THING: the iPod Classic disappears

Much better and cheaper alternatives

The Sansa Clip+ has to be the best sounding MP3 player out there, no volume limits, good EQ, FM radio etc etc and at £35 quid, also a steal. Get a 128Gb micro SD card to stick in it, around £55, job done.

Lost era

Maybe now I'm middle aged, I'm looking at this through rose tinted glasses but this was a great era for gaming. Huge leaps in graphics and gaming were made back then which gave gamers much more of a wow factor compared to today's turgid re releases and annual deluge of crap like COD and Fifa.

Great game and I would like to see it available on today's consoles.

BBC spreads free Wi-Fi Cloud over iPlayer delay

DaveTheRave
Thumb Down

It because its rubbish

The real reason for the delay is not because it doesn't fulfill the needs of the open source posse...Its because its crap, eats your bandwidth constantly unless you kill of services, the quality of the video is awful....... you can get the programs from other not so legal sources quicker, more effectively and end up with near HD quality..... It realy does blow
