In short

oh Shit, taken me ages to find a mobile operator I like and I'm really happy with their tariffs :(

Rubbish claim

I don't care what mobile phone you have, whether it's got a amazing UI or not, I severely doubt the claim you can edit video on it with any type of competency.

Seriously

What's going on?

Does simon not want to write BOFH anymore?

WooHoo

I have defective eyes that only see in part of teh electromganetic spectrum and I have a small arse, so this has to be agreat day for technology.

Mine's the invisible one with a toilet booster seat in the pocket.

Yay for indie film makers

This sort of thing is becoming more and more popular.

I've seen at least 2 'bedroom' productions using the Star Wars franchise, where would we be without Aftereffects and/or Final Cut Pro.

Listen to Bucky

It's nothing to do with infections it's all to do with sales figures for the film.

A whole country not turning up to see your film as expected will have a dramatic effect on global box office sale figures.

@AC 00:17

"You mean, for example, like how the original iPhone was released using EDGE, and shortly afterwards 3G was all the rage??"

LOL 3G was all the rage even before Apple released the first EDGE enabled iPhone, hence why everyone laughed in the UK at O2 who had to start rolling the network out when most of the other operators were winding the service down.

Curious

The migraines I've suffered from tend to stop me from looking at anything (generally the pain won't subside until I have the eye concerned closed).

I agree with other posters, I think she was being watched by her employer for the straw that incapacitated the camel. I can't imagine for one second any employer is going to go to the expense/effort to watch all of their employees on Facebook. A pain in the arse employee is a different story though, anything short of framing them to get them out the door.

No longer will we need...

... a puncture repair kit for Rachel the inflatible. You could create a whole hareem of them.

Mine's the Plastic Mac currently forming in the RepRap over there.

Or alternatively...

... go out and buy a Wii and get the opera browser installed on it and you can also play games on it as well as watch youtube.

Cynical

Is this not an excuse for the manufacturers just to add about 4-5k on to their prices, that way they get even more money out of us, we buy the car and hand over our tax money at the same time.

The theme for this recession is hand outs to all and any who want them, those who work for a living and pay tax are exempt though.

Love'em or hate them

They are definately historically british. If I bump into one on a sunday afternoon with a hangover it's more than likey going to stay on.

Rest in Peace Peter

Now I'm really worried...

... shouldn't have watched 2 episodes of the Sarah Connor Chronicles last night.

(RoTM icon should be the fit terminator girl)

More like Little Green Men...

... that are sitting out of view of the camera and keep giggling lots when they muck around with something on Spirit. When they get bored, Spirit won't move anywhere, it'll be up on bricks with it's wheels missing.

If only Labour could work as hard as these little robots, prehaps we wouldn't begrudge them their extended years in service.

Making it easier...

... for BOFH to dispose of people too.

Shooting fish...

Surely it would be better to let them carry on linking to Pirate Pay, would it not be easier for pirates called the RIAA and the MPAA to search Facebook for their next victims to sue in court. Facebook could also earn a bit of cash for every person who gets caught.

@Steve and Jake

I'm with you, Twitter seems like verbal dirrohea for the masses of people desperate for attention. Which seems to be the case for most Web 2.0 crap.

Stunned by Brown's stupidity

He's definately grabbing at straws now, what exactly will make Nissan want to build their cars over here? Is Brown going to suddenly lower the minimum wage so that Nissan pay their workers less to compete with other countries low-cost workforce.

Personally I'd like to see Brown and all his NuLabia lackies to plug themselves into these new charging points, arse first.

Another factor being...

... my cat, Ren, she's been decimating the population ever since she's been old enough to go outside.

I've saved a few in my defence.

So what they are really saying is....

.... fat human girls are an easy lay if you have some cakes going spare.

House of cards

"They are taking on yet another web2 service that has a broken business model and will loose them money left right and centre."

My thoughts exactly, my biggest problemm is the fact that a lot of business clients want to jump on these bandwagons as another communication channel with their audience but becuase they are free they think I'm being paraniod when I tell them they should have a back up in case there comes a time when the service is suddenly yanked, without paying a fee for teh service there is no service level agreement that can be enforced.

@Kevin

Glad you pointed it out to, saved me the trouble and yes it was still superior on PAL as well.

So superior in fact that Beta was used for a lot longer in the Broadcast industry years after the consumer version had died.

I used to disagree, but....

.... for the time being I'm back to a preference of gaming over shagging seeing as my preference of shagging over gaming has got the missus up the duff ;)

(Yay I've asserted my manly-ness with that comment and can now stop bragging)

They should ask daytime WoW players as there a number who are housewives filling in the hours between looking after the little'uns, would love to know what their response would be.

Tricky arguement...

.... I for one.... couldn't give a toss, TomTom are just as bad as MS for screwing over their customers, they are welcome to each other as bedfellows.

I for one...

... welcome our peckish elasmobranches overlords, let's hope they do a better job than Brown did with our countries finances, they can't be any worse, Brown is eating us alive as well.

Small problem

In that we are extending the life of all the stupid people as well, is that a good thing?

Lost

Why have we suddenly started re-inventing things in the IT world?

Cloud Computing - Mainframe computing

Web 2.0 - The internet (looks pretty much the same as the Web 1.0 and offers nothing new that couldn't already be done)

Offline web apps - cheap/free software you install on your PC

I re-invent things too, done a car and a washing machine so far, took me a number of minutes to realise these devices were already in existence and usually because I'd drunk/smoked/injected/snorted too much [delete as appropriate, depending on which tech company you work for]

(I know what the IT angle is, so call this the confused IT industry icon for this post)

DAMN IT!!

I missed the free biscuits :(

Oh yeah, umm, crazy lady in the video... umm definately not commenting on the other aspects of this thread or I might not get any biscuits.

New Monitor please...

... gotta love it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I cry myself to sleep everynight for giving up our rights to bear arms and shoot one another :D

Why?

nuff said

Damn shame

Best wishes to his family and friends, long live Playmobil.

(Re: RIP Herr Playmobil, Well said Sarah)

Using RIP icon for obvious reasons.

Worrying

27,000 jobs lost and Wollies will still live on, how many jobs will be created with it's shift to online only.

Not exactly the death knell for high street retailers but it's still quite scary for that such a large retailer will stil live on and the 27,000 staff are wondering how they will live.

I wonder how much they bought the brand for?

LOL

Tyler Derden strikes again :)

I live in Ringwood...

... so you lot in London are all northerners as far as I'm concerned.

Mine's the one with just a small amount of snow on.

Bless ole Scheffer

I think it was more his attempt at being hip, trendy, cool, down with the kids, innit?

(I had a few more, but due to being in my 30's I'm not young enough to know how to spell them).

Mine's the one that looks Emo enough to wear ;)

RE: Stradivarius and Rembrandt

[tips hat in thefutureboys direction]

Love it :)

Minor snag

Does Charlie know there is an access panel to get the fuel tank plug?

@AC

So sorry that got your goat, if it helps I'll start reading the Daily Mail tomorrow.

I'll also remember to be extra careful of the language I use so as not to offend you PC'tards in future.

So just that I'm clear I'm ok to use Reich but not "NuLabour"?

@Sarah

Nice :)))

I want the opposite...

... cause my wife never listens to me ;)

@All very well but

I'm with you, I don't think it's a stable business model. Granted I can't see any other way Google could stay afloat if they didn't, but on the other hand I can't actually see the Ad's making enough money compared to how much Google is supposed to be worth including assets, capital and such like.

Same goes for Facebook, could this be the year where companies like that end up facing financial difficulties and end up going to the wall. Most of the time I think these companies stay afloat due to creative accounting, which seems to be rife now.
