Internet of Things fridges? Pfft. So how does my milk carton know when it's empty?

KirstarK

of course what will happen is that there will be an rfid in the milk. The smart fridge will monitor how often the milk is taken out of the fridge and when it never return. Over time it will build up a profile of your use and can then "suggest" what you should order and when. This data of course will be mined and abused. I would also expect the fridge to get grumpy if you try to reuse a carton and alert you that your milk must be off. better throw it out. But to be safe will alert you early. If this means you waste milk then all the better for the farmers.

Whats this says gov agency. Our data mining say that this fridge has no bacon in it and is infact full of halal products. They must be terrorist. Look their milk is out of date.

UK claims 'significant lead' in drones after Taranis test flight

KirstarK

I see this as a good thing.

Less manned aircraft in harms way. Cheaper than manned aircraft. Once you get a decent carrier based one then the carriers are cheaper as well.

After Leveson: The UK gets an Orwellian Ministry of Truth for real

KirstarK

no point reading the article

It was obvious what AO's opinion is. And as some of the posters have said I would trust a politician over the press any day.

Unless you have been on the end of a press crusade against you, then you have no idea. Who recalls that web dev guy who was attacked by the local paper as his adverts were in competition to theirs?

Furious Stephen Fry blasts 'evil' Reg and 'TW*T' Orlowski

KirstarK

For some reason I cannot understand Mr IOrlowski has taken a personal dislike toi Mr Fry. I usually ignore his insulting articles. I am sure if the click rates went down he would stop being such a twat.

US diplomat: If EU allows 'right to be forgotten' ... it might spark TRADE WAR

Re: He's the first person...

IIRC he was asked to use a condom claimed he was using it but wasn't

Ask your wife / gf / sister close female friends how they would react to that

Also there is nothing wrong with sleeping heavily. She may have woke up just as he entered. No matter the details she was not willing as she was not awake. therefore its rape. Again as wife / gf / sister etc how they would feel if they woke up to find someone having sex with them.

Japan firm offers mums-to-be 3D printed unborn infants

is exactly the same as having an ultrasound pic (sonagram for the peeps across the pond) or those new videoes.

Is weird but I can see as a parent why you would want it.

Just bought an Apple product? Need support NOW? Drop an F-BOMB

KirstarK

Try that with Sony's Laptop support on 0870 240 2410 or 0870 2408 unless you put the serial number in you cannot speak to a human. If the SN is out of warranty then the line hangs up.

Re: OMG they gave people DISCOUNTS!!!!

What they did was give discounts if you didn't buy the competition and in some cases gave you higher prices if you did buy the competition, or restricted your supply.

Can you not do a test launch.

With all this data you could work out a mechanism to decide when to release the payload.

Cameron's F-35 U-turn: BAE Systems still calls the shots at No 10

I agree with the points about the f-18 etc, but shut up about the Eurofighter for god sake.

I want to switch off when you start moaning about that.

VW STUNS WORLD+DOG WITH REAL HOVER-CAR!

its obvious CGI, and not good cgi either.

also the design is stupid for what its supposed to be. It would not be stable and would fall over.

Jury retires for weekend in deadlock in Oracle-v-Google verdict

KirstarK

Re: Where are all the fandroids now?

The case is stupid.

Anyone with a brain realises that Oracles case is flawed. Thats why Android users have not filled these threads with comments. Also Android users do not consider their phone OS a religeon the way Apple users do.

Wot no Lewis ?

Interesting that Lewis didn't write this article.

Would love to be there at reg cenral watching him twitch as an article with critique of the F22.

I know maybe the F22 can use the O2 system from the Eurofighter

Little Girl: No.

T: Let go or I will tell you to let go again in a slightly louder voice.

LG: fuck you

T: detension

LG: still fuck you.

T: Right you litle shit.

Pulls arm from radiator. Little girl gets tiny scrape. Teacher sent to prison. Papers full of abussive teacher headlines. Teach and school, and local authority all sued by little girls parents.

Re: I suppose it's a bit late to suggest...

Your an idiot. The staff can do very little against the little shit and teh little shit knows it.

DoJ could start Apple ebook price-fixing lawsuit this week

KirstarK

Because they were still paying the same amount to the publisher.

Publisher say RRP is £9.99 you pay us 40%

Amazon sell at £4.49 make 50p profit and pass the rest to the publisher. Everyone has the same costs to sell.

So Apple could do the same if they wanted.

LOHAN's fantastical flying truss cleared for lift-off

KirstarK

I like the new idea. I think some sort of droge (?sp?) hanging behind the assembly to stabilise the lauch is a good idea. it will rotate the assembly into the wind and stop the rotation. Think weather vane/cock
