It will keep the brand out there any I am guessing that the best 'experience' will always be on a BB handset. Keeps their hat in the ring, espically if Samsung are paying them.

It would be interesting to read a new review. One thing that was missing from your article is the A10 which is going to take the Z10's place as the flagship all touch screen BB10 device. Sounds like they're running down inventory before it launches.

"The fact of the matter is that ITS missed its profit target last year by more than 50 per cent and we're in a performance-based culture"

They must have reached their target once before. When that happens you just set the target twice as high, problem solved.

"We have overspent in some cases by as much as 100 per cent against the original budget that was put together for a job of work for a client and usually that also means we're late and we take penalties."

I wonder who made the promises to the client in the first place.

"it's about the quality of the solutioning that gets done, it's about the understanding of the cost models,"

Wow, could spend all day on this one.

Remember folks, it's your own fault you're not getting a pay rise.

Title too long

"A canned statement (PDF) saying that if users try to load a file for a 3D gun its “... smart software scans the model and tries to match its characteristics with the characteristics of a firearm. If certain features align, the software will not allow the user to view and print the model.”"

Phew, GW can breathe a sigh of relief. No one will be able to print their gun toting models any more. But what about the ones with the blow pipes?

I've said it before and I've said it again, Crapita.

Profits up 10% but 1.1% pay rise for the grunts but 20% for the officers? This sort of thing is just unforgiveably bad management,

Title is too long

Gender is a function of biology. It’s hard to imagine that if God exists that it has a gender and if it does, why? It would imply the existence of other Gods of the opposite gender and by extension, lots of little Gods and Godettes running round the place (Mount Olympus?). Maybe they’re the ones wreaking havoc.

Need a spawn of divine being icon.

They're kidding right?

Some manufactures and telcos consider their phones fire and forget. Maybe if you're lucky the'll get thrown an update here and there. Unless the phones are unlocked it's hard to see this happening.

So we can see the pictures from the farside observatory when it finally gets up and running.

And one of the first things elop did was kill r&d. It's hugely impressive but we won't more big leaps from nokia for some time.

Always said that if nokia released a phone with the sensor of the 808 and the lens of the 920 I'd be tempted...

It's a pity the playbook won't get bb10. There was some speculation that it just didn't have enough RAM. Having used it for a year I don't understand all the hate it gets. Hope they keep supporting it.

So, how many Babylon 5 references will there be?

I only wish I was surprised by anything this piece.

Will it be defeated by something as simple as putting a stone in your shoe and cotton wadding in your cheeks?

I haven't seen any studies that indicate this stuff is ready to be used on such a large scale. Even tiny error rates are going to cause a massive workload sorting out the false positives and negatives. The thing it will be most useful for is going after citizens who embrass people in power.

Any chance the technology could be used in material science to analyse stuff?

I know this is probably never going to happen but what would it take for one set of frequencies to be used for this around the world?

Just right. The privacy concerns override any possible cost cutting advantages.
