" ... the *really* (re)productive people in this world browse porn."

Sorry to break this to you, but w*nk*ng isn't reproduction.

Hmmm

I put it to you that this isn't a real phone. Those pictures are photoshop specials.

What about Apple's own stores?

Presumably they aren't included in the AT&T figures ..

And lets not start on...

.. Braveheart..

@nickj

".. perhaps I'm related .."

Either that or you benn having sex with scyphozoans

Punters left out

Over here we are a accustmed to being with a network, and getting upgrades when the contract runs out.

This isn't happening with the iFone, thanks to the O2 numpties believing the Apple hype and agreeing to their stupid marketing plan.

Hmmm.

So if the angular velocity is *the same*, then how come they are spiral shaped?

For Lewis Page Fanboys...

Ditch the US entirely

They can't be trusted at all, and will leave our forces in the shit when it suits them.

What about the RAF Chinooks which can't be used because of a software problem?

Not Linux !!!

I think they are using Wind River's VXWorks as the RTOS

Eh.. 98% of a MW?

"Modern transmitters can be incredibly efficient, with efficiencies exceeding 98 per cent. However, a broadcast transmitter with a megawatt power stage transferring 98 per cent of that into the antenna can also be viewed as a 20 kilowatt electric heater."

98% of a megawatt is 980 kw where I come from. 20kW is the heat lost in the amplifier, not radiated.

Well done Mr Page

Brilliant, just brilliant.

Your talents are wasted here. Have you thought of doing stand-up?

It's been done already..

Metric system invented by...

...

yes, us Brits !

From the Wiki:-

"The metric system, and metre was first fully described by Englishman John Wilkins in 1668 in a treatise presented to the Royal Society some 120 years before the French adopted the system"

Who?

presumably this person is another unknown american airhead soap/porn/musicstar. Who gives a f***?

Suspicious..

How do you see the originating ip address of an email in your hotmail account?

... migration

Someone said "What's most likely is that intelligent people, including the best teachers, who could get work elsewhere legged it when the rain started glowing in the dark. This selective migration would lower the average intelligence and teacher quality having a compound effect on academic outcomes."

I think you'll find that teachers moving away has a benificial effect on average intelligence... :P

Only a fine..

And it'll be a poultry sum I bet.

So wrong El reg

Joan Bakewell is the "thinking man's crumpet", and cannot be redefined by some jonny-come-lately iJournos :(

Future not too bright

So on the heels of yesterdays story of the Orange MarketingTwatDepartment associating their company with smoking, now they do this brainless thing.

Obviously not a cool outfit to be associated with.

Well Duuh

More trolls.. Apple won't have to look far..the Newton had a touch-screen keyboard 12 years ago <rolls eyes>

Reincarnation

So Harold Shipman came back as a cat.. interesting

Yeah, well..

This is a USA only system, as the FCC only has jurisdiction there. To talk of world-wide access is simply more marketing speak.

What a tosser..

"Analysts have been warning Apple for years that the iPod risked going the way of the starting handle after the invention of automatic ignition."

So when exactly was "Automatic Ignition" invented? I can't say I've ever heard of it..

At least he wasn't using his mobile...

.. or did he have a hands-free kit installed?

Well duuH

So the flood plains are getting flooded are they?

Well consider how they became flood plains, and then figure out if this occurred in the last century, or the last millenia.

Global warming - well yes of course. It's a natural phenomenon.

Caused by us? I don't think so..
