RE: Technohead

Tell ya what technohead95.

My Xoom is less than 6 months old and if it doesn't get supposrt for Ice Cream Sandwich at the LEAST then i'll buy Sony Ericsson next time and not renew my future workplace contracts with them.

If Motorola won't keep a product up to date for even 1 YEAR then it's disgusting they can milk customers for more money rather than doing updates.

RE: AC

I challenge your failure rate since i've had my Xbox360 for 3+ years and use it almost every day for a dvd or game without issue.

My brother on the other hand has 2 Xbox360s and has never had an issue and got rid of his PS3 after the hacking scandal.

RE: Gadget Rage is BAD

It's not rocket science, the permissions screen is clearly noticeable to anyone with eyes.

The only way around this is forcing someone to stay on that page for 10 seconds before the install button lights up.

At the end of the day if the permissions for an application could give you a 100,000 volt shock and kill you then a lot of thick people would still not read the permissions, accept them, and then try and sue if they survived.

Carbon Dioxide is plant food.

The more food, the more trees and plants grow, this in turn uses more CO2 to sustain that plant and keeps us the same, not worse off.

The world will not have been cooked/drowned by fossil fuel gas in 50 years like the tree huggers claim but you will be cutting your lawn more often.

I'm not a fanboy at all, i buy what's best for my needs.

So i own a windows 7 dell inspiron duo (tablet-top) and own an X10 running android 2.1, soon to be android 2.3.

Just thought i had to mention that to safely ask what the value of Google is since my guess would put them either slightly below Microsoft or far above.

Either you're very prepared or this thing can't be killed with 1 program alone, but several instead.

Very scary.

We just had something at home that destroyed my moms bootmngr - oblitterating their pc and tried to infect my laptop through the network.

Suffice to say that winpatrol stopped it.

Luckily im paranoid and have combined winpatrol, avg, spybot and malwarebytes.

Security reaearcher discovers software flaw.

Security researcher does all the work and offers a fix for free.

Software company threatens to sue for extortion and in doing so damages their company image, looks massively ungrateful and creates Barbara Streisand effect their company may not recover from.

If any software I used did this I wouldn't reward their behaviour by staying with them.

It's unfair and potentially dangerous for their users/customers.

Google could be consulting card companies just to get them on side and to get 1 single payment system, rather than 2 or 3 different ones, especially since apple will probably make a new one up and expect everyone to adopt it.

Apple bashes 'gay cure' app

RE: Alan

That's the stupidest rant i've ever read.

Are you honestly saying that religious people should be exempt from equality laws?

Are you honestly saying that you respect the right of any religious person to ban someone from staying at their hotel, eating in their restaurant or even going to tesco because they may be owned by a christian and may not agree that sexuality is genetic/unchangeable?

The Bible is a book of hate that is used to win arguments, remember how it was used to enslave black people and stop women from voting and having rights?

RE: AC

The point isn't that people don't have to download it, the point is that apple would ban any similar app that could "cure" black people or the chinese.
