Apparently the NHS staff memo was available...

...but it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'

Sacred cows... (Entrenched price discrimination)

...make the best hamburgers!

Bring it.

16 and 17?

When I were 16 I was far too occupied trying to cop a sly look at a Razzle mag down at the local paper shop.

The kids today, eh?

There's lIfe on Mars!?

And what did we do?

We sent a Viking as a representative!

Kids eh?

Just wait until telekinesis 1.0 comes along.

What am I thinking about?

bah!

Only terrorists need to cross borders!

I saw it on FAUX News

Snoopy & the Red Baron

Fly again!

Nice job

Product placement is the new advertisement

Many of the TV shows I don't watch*, simply have the proponents holding, driving, eating, wearing or using the "product" during the show. It's hard to know when the ads start and finish sometimes.

Apple are one of the best at this. No one, but no one, uses a PC on TV it seems.

* I see the occasional grab here and there.

Hey, Ars Technica.

Suffer in ya jocks!

Wow, that'll show 'em!

NOT

There's no subsidised upgrade path for XP...

...so in under 2 years I'll "upgrade" to a 27" iMac.

Hasta la Vista M$.

Memories!.......on 1.44 MB disc

I remember loading MS-Office onto Win 3.11.

All 35 x 1.44MB discs.

You'd get to disc 32/35 and then get some random error....

Then we got CD-ROM drives.

Life was never the same.

In the publics interest my arse!

A criminal act is what it sounds like.

Plain and simple.

Alien and Aliens

Love them

Sci-fi with balls and a female hero!

Behind many bad law lurks...

Scared politicians or religious fundamentalists, or in the US; both.

Trojan attacks of the future...

...might actually include actual (printed robot) trojans!

Ahhh Aussie Post

Always a bit late to deliver.

3G WiFi iPad 3

All good here.

Not a problem to behold.

Just loads of Jobsian goodness [TM]

...and I'm a PC/ Windows 'tard of old.

AM radio still exists?

People who listen to shock-jocks on AM radio also still exist?

Who knew?

2050, 2100!

Oh, that's alright then.

You had me worried for a bit

He ..."is black"

Of course he is.

I had a mental picture of a black guy (victim) from the 1st paragraph onwards.

Oh America, how you have strayed.

Applied science

Ra!

Because

It's what's best for the proletariat.

This will end badly

Politicians and Lawyers are involved.

3G for calls, home wifi for data.

"They’re just too smart to pay over-the-odds for the data we download, when the home and the office have WiFi available."

Exactly.

3G for data?

Perish the thought.

Almost got me

Almost

But whacky Apple patents can be stranger than fiction sometimes.

It's just a bit of pig flinging fun

Its great on the iPad.

Cheap, easy to play and a mild distraction from work.

What more can one want?

Political overlay?

I'd like know where the GOP candidates are right now to see if their location relates to an increase in wind (hot air).

Send all the religious types first

Then destroy the plans for the star ship.

Let them create a world of their own, free to invoke any gods they like.

Leaving us filthy, nasty, heathens in peace.

Remains the property of NASA...

Maybe.

But they definitely remain the propertieS of various sea life.

Wait for the creationists...

3....2....1......

Don't ya just love science?

What NBN?

1. My place is not on the roll-out map (Just 1 street off)

2. Politically, Gillard's crew are toast, not even Obi-Wan Kenobi could save Princess Julia

3. Liberals will scrap the NBN and issue quills.

Hurrrumph

Could have been worse

He might have tweeted a link to Tim Minchin's Pope Song....

So much goodness!

It's a nice little distraction

On my shiny new iPad 3

As a claustrophobe....

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!

Lizard masters

Smart meters will mean that we'll soon be under the mind-control of our lizard masters.

Mutate now and avoid the rush!

3 way fail

1. You have FB and you provide your log-in = FAIL (too stupid)

2. You have FB and you don't provide your log-in = FAIL (too stubborn)

3. You don't have FB = FAIL (too shifty)

(from the panel's POV)

Angry Birds in space

Just loaded it

WooT

PS: Did I tell you I got my iPad 3?

Colour me skeptical - part 2

Even though I don't automatically believe' them, this from Wikipedia:

"Critical thinking has been described as “reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do. It has also been described as "thinking about thinking". ...... More recently, critical thinking has been described as "the process of purposeful, self-regulatory judgment, which uses reasoned consideration to evidence, context, conceptualizations, methods, and criteria."

Oooh, look, a pink unicorn!

Facebook? To get a job?

When did it become mandatory?

IMO, having a FB account shows a (minor) lack of judgement. Not having a FB account shows greater maturity and perhaps a better understanding of privacy concepts.

Who would YOU employ?

Let the down-votes begin!
