What would kicking out young, healthy, tax paying immigrants and replacing them with old pensioners moving back into the UK do to the economy and the NHS?

The pod things can be handy (think the one we have is nescafé or something like that). A lot of my wife's family drink coffee but we don't. For all the times that they visit us they are handy as I couldn't make a decent coffee and the pods keep, an open jar does not.

Have to admit I'd prefer some lose leaf earl grey. They don't have a pod for that.

The second or third generation of this product could be very interesting if they go for alternative battery technologies like the AL based one that was in the news recently or doped Li. Can't help but think when it doesn't have to go anywhere, power density is not a hugely critical factor. Longevity is.

I've heard it might be possible to rent rather than buy. Depends on how much it is of course but might end up cheaper than having to dispose of an old one safely and buy a new one every few years.

If it's going up that high, why not use hydrogen? Might be risker on the way up but a lot cheaper and will it deflate any faster?

Getting users to do their testing can be like getting kids to eat their vegetables. Putting it out there like this might just be a tactic to protect developers who don't have sufficient influence to make users do it properly or help put pressure on users to get it done when they are suppose to.

If it had a removable battery it would be interesting but I'd probably spend the extra £50 and get a Z30. Still aa nice little handset.

One of the reasons why I am waiting for the first redesign to buy a new console. Had a release 360 that could heat a room all by itself. Plus hopefully they're'll be enough new games worth playing.

I bought stuff over a year ago and it was drm free then.

If they framed it as pro-freedom and anyone who opposes it as a STASTI communist it might stand a snowflakes chance in hell of getting past. The prison industry and prosecutors might not be so pleased though.

No chance they could do a rap around on the old api to work with the new one?

It's handy to have the apps built into the TV but that's the advantages of the dongles and consoles, software upgrades. How many TV manufacturers have updated the apps to avoid this.

If they go back into 'developing markets' where they sold a lot of feature phones they could do quite well but may not be sufficiently profitable to keep analysts happy.

When another nation can keep a man fighter or bomber out or shoot them down for a fraction of the cost it will be too late. There could always a c&c plane a few miles behind.

Someone else confirmed it will run off-line but that would be good to know as well. Not sure why you were downvoted.

Even if they lose that referendum they keep promising?

Will if work if yer Scottish? :P. A ring with NFC combined with pattern or pin seems like an obvious combination to enhance login security. Unless you lose the ring...

It's not difficult to imagine some version of big blue sorting through lots of samples but it will be a long time before legally a qualified human won't be examining anything flagged as suspicious with a few random samples from the normal pile thrown in for good measure. Biggest benefit this system will probably bring is allowing lower qualified techs being sent out to remote locations (or people's homes if they are house bound) and doing the test there with the images uploaded for analysis elsewhere.

Doesn't the presenter also work on the digital human show?

Bet their disaster recovery plan gets dusted off and reevaluated. Backups aren't backups unless you test a full recovery.
