oops

They want a tool that gets the job done, with the least fuss possible.

like for example Mussolini making the trains run on time.....

You can replace a shop till and every single purchaser of your app will have indentical hardware and software to run your shop till app on, and the card reader dongle will work the same and the Wifi will work the same and the support will be the same and the dock will be the same.

It's just a bit ironic that mansel's account should carry a spamvert for a slimming product, as many ppl my age will recall after his brief holiday in '93 - showing the yanks how drivin fast was done - he came back to his proper job and lo his arse was too big to squeeze into the '95 mclaren.

lardiness notwithstanding he was a great champion from the good ol days before playstation took over the championship.

whats the odds his pw was 'Pr05ti5aBa5tard'

pair of doddery old twats dont like the modern world...

there's no story here.

and given the US still has 50million people with no health cover, 7 million people in jail (gaol), a 14 trillion dollar national debt, routinely flouts international law - protecting war criminals, has a political system which by their own measure is intrinsically unfair and massively corrupt, has one of the few governments in the world that kills it's own people out of vengeance, one of the *very* few governments in the world that murders it's own children - out of vengance.

but this once great old geezer reckons handing the lead in the space race back to the Russians is the thing the nation should be ashamed of.

do us a favour Neil - Pull your head out of uranus, it's embarassing!

Wasnt there a flame icon missing from that article?

Just guessing here, but i doubt you came up with the line about reducing duty on booze while patiently waiting with a sick child (could be asthma - i developed it when i was a child.... when i didnt drink booze, come to think of it! damnit you are onto something here) at an A&E department at say 3:00a.m. one sunday morning.

Keep up the good work.

Apple sued for iPhone, iPad chip 'patent rip-off'

Friday 23rd September 2011 17:10 GMT Naughtyhorse

I disagree

Some lawyers do worthwhile stuff - admittedly none of these blood sucking leeches - but some nonetheless.

And apple do have some really important and cool ideas, but the asshattery with which they then pursue their agenda more than negates any good ideas that they ever stole from xerox :-D
