Think we'll have an UK KFC redux? With lots of people screaming for their burgers and nothing IT working at all...

Yeah right, and I'm the President of Trumpmenistan.

Laughed my a$$ off when I saw thhis article. Now I gotta find my a$$, it's out there somewhere.

Shareholders are a liability, and not an asset.

Get rid of the shareholders leeching off your customers, and look after your customers, then you'll see profits go up.

And hast thou purchased a screen protector yet? Oh look, a scratch!

Anyways, this may become mainstream, other manufacturers will try to copy this idea.

But I must say, it is a jolly good idea. Deliver a simple phone, with a ton of addons, so you can add a better camera on, or a torch, or an LTE-A module, or whatever you want without hassle or fuss.

Looks like Motorola got a good thing going there.

I can imagine what it will be like with a screen enlargement mod and a QWERTY mod... instant mini laptop...

Speaking of which, I dimly remember seeing some sort of 14" to 17" magnifying doohicky which you can slip over your 14" monitor to make it a 17", anybody remember this?

By implication this also extend to Google and others... or am I wrong?

Having an electric car is fine and dandy al that, but they don't tell you about the costs of replacing the batteries.

If one gives you cheese, you have to replace all of them, and usually end up with a more expensive car than a fossil-fuel based one....

Interestingly as somebody from CA was chortling with glee on how much data they had managed to snaffle a couple of weeks ago (before this exploded wide open) - now the fat lady is singing, and they don't like that....

does it mean that the Pentagon will trim the Army's IT workforce? I mean, they're outsourcing their storage, so the IT bods dedicated to storage will have to get a pink slip?

Busy with factory reinstall of a Win10 Lenovo laptop - it got bogged down for some reason. Slow to start, slow to get the desktop ready for user interaction.

And I did not load the usual bevy of malware/crapware/bloated apps, it have Firefox, office 2013, and one or two other apps... but it just got slow.

Fun times.

Then it started to gather momentum, and more people got their@email.com addresses - mine was ****@mweb.co.za for a long while, but when they got too uppity with their pricing, I went over to google.com

Alternative?
