Don't be daft, he thinks he can entrust all his data to a single 486 desktop running Linux - no need to backup either. After all, it's Linux.

You're talking nonsense. Problems due to overclocking are statistical in nature... Intel clock it at 2.5Ghz because that means it statistically gives a very low failure rate, at 3.75 they are not satisfied with reliability. The fact your chip runs at this speed just means you got lucky, or that it hasn't broken yet.
Well done for totally missing the point of open source - creating software so that people CAN create great software (free or commercial) with it.
If you want to demand people put back in "their fair share" to the community start your own "it's only fair" license to compete with GPL, MIT, Apache, et al. I'm sure you'll get plenty of MPs supporting you.
You misunderstand. Testing is done, but actually making people use it for real is not the same as testing. i.e. checking all the features of Word work and it doesn't have bugs is testing, but forcing all your staff to use the new version in day to day use is "dogfooding".
...it's passed me by. Is the idea it's a single way for BBC, C4, ITV to deliver streaming video - in effect a new additional tool alongside iPlayer which supercedes it?
Given the massive difference in quality between iPlayer and 4OD, I'd be worried it won't be as good as iPlayer is to begin with (although iPlayer implementations on non-PC platforms tend to be pretty hit&miss).
Or did I misunderstand totally?
Yes but with cameras you don't have a network effect - you build a camera into a phone and it's a camera. If you build a payment device into a phone, it's only useful if 100% (or close) of vendors accept it. Which they won't... so everyone will HAVE TO carry their credit/debit card with them as well.
I'm more interested in using my phone at an ATM I reckon. Do they plan to do this?
I'm still on my Nokia N81 and finally considering upgrading, but I want to stay on O2. I imagine the £100 price on this means it's locked to Vodafone?
I've been looking at the Lumia 710 and I would be interested to know how the two stack up. Note I am not after high performance or external storage or the ability to root my phone... I want a solid phone which can also do internet/email on the side.
meaningless, even iPads have done this at launch IIRC.
A price of £1k would be a massive deal-breaker though. Compete directly with the iPad perhaps but costing more is crazy... unless that's for the Intel version only and the ARM one will be considerably cheaper. After all an Intel tablet kind of IS like an ultrabook only even smaller and smaller means pricier.
That doesn't really seem an answer, simply a slightly related fact. You don't say what temperature sublimation occurs at for instance.
On a related note... isn't 40K quite warm for a crater which never sees the sun? Has the sun, over the eons, heated the entire moon up to 40K? Or is there residual heat from the moon's core?
>>Microsoft has recoded the platform so that it shares kernel features with Windows 8, which is good for integration but bad news for smartphone vendors, since upgrading existing handsets is impossible.
Is this just bad reporting... why does changing the kernel automatically mean handsets can't be upgraded? Surely if people can hack their iPad to run Android or get Win98 running on a phone, getting WP8 onto WP7.5 hardware is possible?
