Not really gurus tho are they?

For "gurus" their staff are really thick.

I'm sick of waiting in their massive cues just to be told that they don't have what i want, they don't know how to do that, they don't understand, or to just recommend something completely unrelated.

I asked if they had Liveview for Android last time and the so called "guru" tried to show me an iphone.

Well done 02, you've created more expensive corner shops.

"There are no stupid customers. Only stupid *designers*."

completely the wrong way round.

This calendar app needs full internet access to sync in it's permissions, fair enough.

This one needs full internet access, fine gps, ability to send premium rate SMS permissions, that should set alarm bells ringing.

The stupid thing is that an app like that would get downloaded because not everyone reads the permissions or reviews first.

That's stupid and ignorant.

Volvo demos automobile auto-pilot tech

Don't believe it...

The last time Volvo tested this, they smashed a car into a lorry without it even braking and ran over a cardboard pedestrian in another.

Are we expected to believe they improved this quickly and trust them when they say we can drive on top of someone elses shadow safely now?

Stop sign because your car won't stop.

Ah, but your phone can't access the memory stick on the go can it?

Which i believe is the big point here as many people want to sync to computers or more devices without constantly saving things to a USB and plugging it into different computers.

What a joke!

"The undisputed evidence shows that 'app store' is a generic name for a store offering apps"

An unbelievably vague description that could also affect any site like Softpedia or Downloadpal.

RE: Tony Chandler

Well all the ones i've seen have 3 main buttons, so not including volume, camera or power.

That gives you a Home button, a Back button, and a Menu button.

Without them the Android phone is still fully functional, most games and apps will struggle though.

I don't personally think we should be paying any climate change taxes until it can actually be proved people are causing it.

An assumption should not cost us money.

Well Facebook was built on pillaging private information, copyrighting your pictures, and selling your details on.

It was proven ages ago they build profiles of each person to advertise specifically for that person.

There was even a study that proved gay Facebook users got more adds targeted at gay people than straight people by a large amount.

RE: Minehandle

I have a top of the range Android phone and have never paid for an app solely because the free ones can offer everything i need and generally have better user ratings.

If your app is expensive compared to the competition and will crash, be buggy, or not have all the features i need, then why should i pay for it?

Do we need to pay for Microsot Office with open office offering similar functionality?

Antivirus when generally free models are better than Mcafee and Norton who charge?

RE: Steven Jones

Actually, while Cameron is getting 20% of the cuts from Tax, Labour were quite clear they would get 40% from new taxes.

Between Labour and Cameron, Cameron seems more likely to make temporary taxes and not introduce pay-per-mile or yearly petrol increases or sign us up to the Euro as Labour had planned to.

Some people seem to forget how deceptive Labour were/are and how they screwed so much money from motorists and Council Tax payers (to name a few)
