Re: If you were a shareholder
So you'd have no problem with a company that's bleeding red ink borrowing to pay out a dividend?

I was taught French for two years by a number of substitute teachers who could not speak French. Needless to say, I did not do well in my GCSE.
I would have more confidence in this scheme if it invested in teachers and supporting them for a few years before rolling out the a program like this out. Good English, Maths and Science grades will set people up in the long term more efficiently than learning just programming in isolation. One of the best programmers on a team I was on was a former accountant who got into IT through BtE.
Given the length of time drugs can sit on the shelf before they are tested and hit the market I can see the point in extending protection for them if the price is also decreased (as they don't need to make their money back in such a short period). However stuff like DRM just needs to die. It only penalises law abiding customers. Why should they care if someone with a kindle buys a kobo and moves the books across if they don't put them up on a torrent?
"but does not mention early teething problems that saw fair and accurate news reports de-listed due to things said in the comments sections."
But only the journalists were notified that their stories were being delisted from the search. It was almost like Google was trying to stir up resentment....
That's what happened in N.Ireland for decades. Suspects could be held for so many days but if they hadn't broken down and confessed to what ever they needed them to confess to, they were rearrested at the front door of the station.
There was a story on the BBC about phones being remotely wiped after being taken suspects. Either someone already has an app for that or they aren't handling them properly after taking them. Opens a lot of ways a creative legal mind could exploit, for a suitable fee of course.
There is a problem with some version of android were it's not possible to view downloaded BBC iplayer videos. Does the new hudl suffer from that problem? And Amazon are blacklisting some devices from streaming and downloading Amazon instant video. Does anyone know if they've done that with this?
"Technically, meanwhile, the 2208x1242 to 1920x1080 scaling is so obviously suboptimal that the iPhone 6 Plus feels like a stopgap, launched to establish a class of device before the technology had been fully worked out. It doesn’t seem fanciful to wonder if, like the iPad 3, it might be rather speedily replaced."
Given that Steve Jobs was infamously a perfectionist and wasn't shy about berating employees who disappointed him, I wonder what he would make of this (and the watch too).
