What a shame!

A minor balance for all the UK IT staff forced out of work by Indian staff taking British jobs.

Ah!

ANOTHER hundred reasons NOT to buy an Apple phone.

"...the issue is likely only to affect a small subset of Redmond's customers."

"...the issue is likely only to affect a small subset of Redmond's customers." - Yes, they are Win 8.x users (all of 'em).

The only update most users want is Windows 9. Unless, of course, it includes TIFKAM.

For desktop/laptop users Win 7 is just great. It ain't broke - don't fix it.

So how will anyone make money out of YouView?.....

....before it goes the way of other unprofitable ideas.

BT =

Bunch of Tossers

end!

Stay with Win7

THAT was obvious right from the the Beta versions of Win8 - and NOTHING has changed to alter that view.

If Microsoft don't pull their corporate finger out and realise that Win9 has to bring back USEABILITY and RELIABILITY, then their main market will just become part of computing history VERY quickly!

Just goes to show.......

........that Windows 8 is going NOWHERE!!

It's BELKIN kit

So what did you expect?

Oh Dear!

Another duff decision by Nokia.

If they had gone plain Android from the start, they would not now be part of Crapsoft.

It's mainly a matter of time.......

.....before Android is established on desktops/laptops. Then Microsoft will become part of computing history.

They couldn't make a worse job of servers

I remember IBM servers where the performance was beaten hollow by cheap desktops.

Perhaps Lenovo will do a better job. Have to say I am impressed with their S6000 tablet for the price.

And the basic problem is....

....that Intel is closely linked with Windows and Windows 8 is a DISASTER of mega-proportions.

Intel need to ally themselves with Android and get Android-based PCs out there. Then they can re-employ those laid off.

Simples!

Blimey!!

HP have finally done something RIGHT!!!

Are they going to rename it McCrapAfee?

T'would seem an appropriate name.

What!?!?!?

".... expected to meet the requirements "in full" from April 2016" - Time the regulator pulled it's socks up!

The Best Treatment.......

......for Hamed Shabani is a hell where you receive spam texts and phone calls continuously 24 hours a day.

And what IS good....

....is that umpteen million car radios will not be obsolete!

Good grief! - the government has actually made a SENSIBLE decision at last!!!

Ah Java from Oracle

As an IT Consultant, I used to hate it if any of my customers needed an Oracle-based application, 'cos I came to the conclusion that if it was Oracle-based, it was a pain in the proverbials.

Java comes from the same stable - 'nuff said!

But we all know.....

....that BT stands for Bunch of T****rs

It's a Government IT Project

What else did they expect?

Er...

.." although exactly why the issues cropped up to begin with is not entirely clear"

That's easy - LACK OF TESTING. Since Ballmer took over, that is the norm.

That old scam

I was working for a large firm of city solicitors when somebody tried a similar scam with "free trial" laser cartridges, threatening legal action - the letter of response was enough to make a worm crawl away and die!

I think it is fair to say........

......that Microsoft have completely and utterly LOST THE PLOT!

My prediction is that Android will become the standard for phones and tablets, with IOS as a niche OS.

The question is given that M$oft seem to have lost the plot with desktops/laptops, what will take over?

Linux has not done it, so perhaps Android?

Yes, but....

...who is ranking the senior (mis)management who allowed Windows 8 to escape and have THREE DIFFERENT implementations of it's APIs? Not to mention outlook.com

Of course Apple Products are not vunerable to attacks

Oh Wait.....

Of Course it's the bl**dy Sun

What did you THINK was causing fluctuations in Earth's temperature?

- Winston Churchill's cigars?

- Harold Wilson's pipe?

GET REAL you idiot scientists

Scientifically Speaking

When I worked on commissioning and testing of scientific instruments, the sort of SMALL VARIATIONS in readings that are bandied about about as "Global Warming/Cooling" and "Ocean Levels" were usually recognised as NOISE in the reading equipment and, thus, were ignored.

Excess CO2

Can they make these nanotubes from carbon dioxide? Then tell the bonkers scientists that this will soak up all the surplus CO2 that mankind is ALLEGEDLY pumping into the atmosphere and causing global warming, wait, COOLING, no wait again, WARMING, - whatever - that is actually being caused by a not totally stable raging nuclear furnace located 93 million miles offshore.
