Cyanogen Inc killed CM

The Micromax debacle was just the tip of the problem. CyanogenMod was a hobbit project yet some hobbyists found their code being incorporated into CyanogenOS, with attendant licence changes without their permission.

Strong password

Yes I did see the quotation marks, please can someone teach these so called tech experts what constitutes a strong password because that ain't it.

Paperless?

With Hunt in charge I'll be pleasantly surprised if we have an NHS come 2020.

A suggestion

Ministers, should be forced to show a basic understanding of a subject before commenting, then we would be spared the time and energy of being incensed by this BS suggestions.

Not through choice

As the article points out our electronic prescription platforms, require the use of flash. To change this requires HSCIC to update the platform, until then we are forced to use flash / JAVA to access many NHS spine services.

Really?

My car has managed quite nicely with a standard SD for its satnav.

Here's an idea..

According to Aviva the data isn't sensitive, may I suggest this and all future such breaches be punished by making exactly the same data, belonging to senior execs, available to the public on the sites homepage for at least 12 months. Bet they sort their security out then.

No further complaints, eh?

What about the one radio 4 reported to them as occurring last Saturday 6/2/2016? This is still a problem

Range?

No mention of the pitiful mpg or too small tank? Although I will accept with a light foot it's almost capable of 200 miles to a tank.

Just my 2c

But I'd argue the opposite, I abandoned Samsung as their hardware upgrades where rubbish, for me the upgrade from the S3 to S5 just want worth the dosh.

The point surely are...

1. Apple boast of their ethical manufacturing thus deserve to be judged against such standards.

2. Apple unlike many tech companies make huge profits on their hardware, they could afford to reinvest these in setting up ethical manufacturing companies, I believe the cash reserves apple are sitting on exceed the GDP of many of these countries they source from, yet they choose not to.

Sticking with XP

As a business we have stuck with Xp, inspite of withdrawal of support, because an upgrade to win 7 would require replacement printers, and whilst 7 is supported by the main pharmacy software suppliers win 8.x isn't so there is no guarantee that any new printers would be supported going forward. So we'll stick until win 9 or 10 is adopted.

Fingerprint scanner crap

It was a crap idea when ipaq did it and it still is now, I want a phone with more memory than my S3 and a better battery, seems someone was listening so I'm upgrading to the Xperia Z2 wouldn't touch this S3ss with a ten foot pole.

LG ignored?

Last time I checked LG where still manufacturing the nexus 5,so hardly ignored.
