Honesty, eh?

We can only hope this catches on!

Eric Schmidt has demanded tough rules on civilians flying surveillance drones

Screw you.

This is a kite.

I just need to know

Your name, DOB, mothers maiden name, the first line of your address and postcode, and your password, for "Data Protection".

Hang on. You called me. How do I know you are who you say you are?

It's only fair.

There are copies of kindle books in other dead languages

Surrey Integrated Reporting Enterprise Network

You've got to have a good acronym!

Otherwise, what would all those marketing committees do?

So, essentially what you're saying is

Now is a good time to buy?

They are very blurry

How fast were they doing it?

Avoid the rush hour, avoid higher rates.

What a great way to screw over the majority of people that have to work for a living.

Duck Sauce

I wonder what they will make of this.

Google+

Is that still going?

"Our goal is to make it as easy to build an application as it is to build a website"

And as soon as you do that, every idiot that can string compilable code together is going to publish an app.

I'd hate to see app stores turned into the modern equivalent of GeoCities.

I love the look of that Elan machine! How did I miss that first time around?

I'd worry about it's evil twin Nale coming to get it though.

It's only an illegal cartel if they are fixing prices for customers.

When it comes to fixing wages to defraud the worker, apparently it's all legal and above board.

Is this "information transfer" something similar? As nothing physical is actually being transmitted between Alice and Bob.

No degree here

I've got 99 problems,

But having a degree ain't one.

Kid vandalises shop window.

Gets let off with a caution.

Commit the same crime digitally, and it's up to 25 years in the big house?

Somethings not right here.

They are getting rid of men, just because they are men?

Isn't that the very definition of discrimination based solely on a persons sex?

Bitcoin offers criminals an untraceable way to launder their ill-gotten gains

Unlike the HSBC. Who were able to completely trace everyone that had laundered money through their bank.

I produced some dire websites at the start of my career too

And like Zuckerberg, sometimes I still do.

Landings and takeoffs are controlled from within the theatre of operations

I would have thought that a maneuver like a landing or a take off would be ripe for automation.

Is there a technical reason why the pilot has to do it manually?

A bag contains fifteen marbles.

Unless you live at Mountain View.

In which case, you've probably lost a few.

Time to start chanting the browser prayer.

Please don't break my website!

Please don't break my website!

Please don't break my website!

Where have all my divs gone?

Another problem with archiving.

Those tapes have a limited shelf life.

What I'd like to see is the digital equivalent of a stone tablet. A storage medium that can be viable for millennia.
