I have a cure too!

I can grow hair on soap aswell, surely i can sell this as a possible cure?

Or just leave a thin layer on your head until it grows hair?

Fail because it's not AFACT

I can't be the only one here who won't buy a dvd without already watching it somewhere, so if a mate lends me a pirate and i watch it and don't like it.

Obviously i won't buy it.

Sorry to have to do this Reg...

"But this doesn't mean Microsoft is providing nine-figure marketing and engineering support - as the headline on the original wire report suggests."

A billion is 10 numbers, 9 is at least 100 million and at most 999 million, 999 thousand, 999.

Ha!

Funny how yet again Sony have shot themselves in the foot and done more damage than their customers possible piracy may have.

Everyone together now...

Bait and Switch!

Bait and Switch!

Bait and Switch!

So many questions...

So basically Android has begun assimilating other phones now and will soon have infected them all?

Don't tell me all these people will stick with Nokia when they can see what Android has available?

And this could possibly be a way of Nokia even getting ready to adopt Android rather than redesigning its OS?

Amazing!

Just signed the petition and i'm number 24622 =]

That doesn't add up...

4 releases a year roughly 4 months apart is not 4 releases a year.

Firefox aren't good with deadlines as FF4 showed.

I support the good work they do, but anyone can see these deadlines won't be met.

Not completely unexpected, but...

Microsoft isn't doing too good here, any word on whether the phones are decent?

Other than that data using yahoo bug there isn't really much news or bragging about them.

Found a flaw in your research mr scientist...

These kids believe a massive fat man brings them presents once a year all in one night, doesn't claim benefits, isn't bogged down by health and safetly laws, exploits a garden gnome population in a place of the world they can't escape, and does all of this for FREE.

And this scientist is surprised they believed there's a species of octopus that can climb TREES!

FAKE!

Brings back memories of when Derek Acorah got possessed by a spirit that was made up to expose him in an old pub.

FAKE!

Crazy!

Is this the same Iran that recently banned stylish haircuts and can now arrest people and have the police shave their heads?

"You’ll likely be reinstalling your PC at least once a year."

Yeah, if you're an idiot.

As others have pointed out already, it's not normal to system restore even half that much.

My brother isn't very computer handy and he's never system restored in 5 years.

I myself have gone a good 8 at least but that doesn't count incompatible Zonealarms bad driver on my Windows 7 last year.

Basically to state that "You’ll likely be reinstalling your PC at least once a year." you either have access to very crap test subjects in the questionnaire who gave that figure or your attempt to attack Windows wasn't very good.

Ha!

Well they got infiltrated much better than they Anonymous so maybe they should be standing at the side lines trying to learn a thing or two, rather than getting in the way?

Lemme get this straight...

So it didn't affect many users and security was increased?

Overall result: well done for having to be threatened to actually protect your customer data Frogster.

Very Informative!

A very good article, but at the end of the day it's the shareholders who decide what happens.

If they suddenly decide they want Nokia back in the ring, then it may be forced to use Android or WP7.

At least they still have a chance, not every business is so lucky.

Simple Solution...

Electrify the track with a low current.

Best news all day...

So basically if Apple gets bigger, they can be hit with anti-trust suits for their uncompetitive behaviour, but if they shrink, then they lose their high position in the market?

It's all win win then =]

Not looking forward to these developments.

Sickipedia and Fitlads are favourites to block by o2.

One is mostly offensive jokes and the other is a gay social network with the option for naughty photos.

It's how you use the web really, without painting everyone as a parent with underage porn watching kids.

Besides, how can they slag off the Australian Firewall if they're implementing one anyway but at a slower pace?

Hold on a minute...

It's a fix.

The bottom says "excludes users who din't use apps at all"

So the 108 figure is definitely too high for an average as they cherry picked their target audience and excluded anything that went against it to fudge the numbers.

Anyone else pick this line out?...

"Consumers and enterprises want to buy from a winner"

I don't, i just want something of a decent price, that works how I want and not the other way round.

Which rules out apple.

Cruel and unusual punishment?

Seems like those conditions would make anyone already suicidal, even more so.

Being woke up constantly and not allowed to sleep is sleep deprivation and illegal under the same law that bans waterboarding right?

Exactly why i don't trust apple

An ideal world for apple is everyone having exactly the same phone, same laptop, and same whatever else they're selling.

No-one can have a better version of something in that world and everyone is the same and not alowed to complain (Remind anyone of 1984?).

Glad i bought into Android then as no-one in the right mind wants a limited spec computer, a phone the same as everyone elses, and hardware you can't upgrade yourself (should you want to do so).

Looks like something a child made...

It appears to be made from a few metal poles and stretched bin bags from your photo, is that right?

Is NASA a recession victim aswell?

Wait til next year...

Their revenue will increase even more as Android spreads as most apps are free and Google will collect cash from the adverts.

I'm just glad i got an Android before Win Phone 7 came out or i'd have a phone that appears to have flopped and uses your data cap on its own.

Titles?! We don't need no stinkin' titles!

This is espionage and could be a silver bullet against Wikileaks if it's proved.

They're actually appearing to look like a terrorist organisation or spy agency after this.

It could also affect Julian's trial and eventual execution in America.

Scammers Directory

I'm well aquainted with 419 scams and the like so it's always surprising to hear about how the new scams are worked.

Take a trip to 419eater if you're constantly plagued by spam emails, they're fun to mess with as long as you're careful.

Or you can just read the accounts of other peoples dealings with some of these dumb scammers and have a laugh.

Here's a genuine question...

Wouldn't a nuclear powered warship provide enough energy?

I'm sure there's already some in use.

I don't need no stinkin' title!

Directautomotive (a supplier for our work) is down aswell today, it seems there's a few people not paying their bills this week.

It's really hypocritical that these big companies expect to get away with not paying their bills, yet their customers would never be able to.

Aha!

"Lame Stuxnet worm 'full of errors', says security consultant"

Turns out it was the Americans after all =]

And they appear to have got Microsoft to code it for them.

Title in hiding

Seems like they got the idea for this from that film where the guy shrinks a ship and travels through someone elses body in it.

That or the giant squid program on the Discovery Channel, in which case i hope it fires torpedoes or harpoons.

Your username and/or password are incorrect. Forgotten password?

"You can wind up literally running your whole business off of an iPad or and iPhone."

Except for being able to make phone calls or run the business how YOU want to.

He must have meant, "You can get wound up trying to run your whole business off an expensive brick, that you must teach your staff to hold properly."

It isn't fair

So basically, each time Microsoft creat a new version of Windows, they have to try and make their end bulletproof and also try to protect users from the lousy programmers who created crap code and don't bother updating it when a vulnerability is being abused.

No wonder MS have such a tough time when Adobe and quicktime can constantly update but not fix flaws people will then blame MS for.

There's a fair few uses...

"the powers that be warned latex ladies are not recognised flotation devices"

Still useful for getting in the carpool lane tho

No title required

Why don't they just install signal jammers in the prisons?

They're not exactly expensive
