Surely an easy fix..

Just mark every google office as shutdown permanently...

See if that will catch their interest...

Daimler

It's well know that the Mercedes electric B class uses the Tesla Motor drive train.

Likewise the Model S uses a lot of parts from Mercedes.

I'm not surprised Tesla's bank balance is going down have you seen the size of that gigafactory? Though I do think the Model X will not do as well as the S.. and Tesla need to get a move on with the Model ≡

Most decent drones these days are GPS enabled. Is it too much to ask for appropriate Legal No-Fly Zones to come pre-loaded? I'm pretty sure you could put the entire worlds Airports no-fly boxes/circles onto a single microSD card.

You could easily legally restrict drones to no-fly without "Permitted Zones Data File" for appropriate country/area. And you could get your "Permitted Zones Data File" (locked to your serial Number) when you buy your insurance from BMFA. (Data File Could also expire with 3rd party insurance.)

Sensible laws are what is required not knee-jerk bans.

I'm not surprised BT have phorm in this area.

All well and good to announce it but when is it coming? it's not in Play store yet....

This is why windows is so fucked up.

Technical preview users are not the same as end users doing their day job, they are technically previewing and testing the system not actually using it as a day to day work tool. By monitoring and tuning for these poke around users of course you'll see higher usage (read testing) of new features, giving you a false/skewed impression of their acceptance. Where as what most users really want is the peddles and steering wheel to be in the same place as they always have been.

Air Force reverse engineer?

Did the author mean "Air Force reserve engineer"?

Anyway this needs the webcam trick that the Zeus guy used. would be good to post more screenies of scammers..

Any idea on how the air pressure on the control surfaces at 100km/h at sea level compares to the air pressure at altitude?

legal Dilemma: I take picture of my vote (not another's) If Police or Staff ask to see it they are asking me to disclose my vote?! ergo prohibited!

I think staff demanding to delete anything is going to far, they should politely advise as follows:

"Taking photos/video that may disclose how another person has voted is illegal under Section 66A of the 1983 Representation of the People's Act, If you have taken a photo/video that may disclose another persons vote you are advised to either delete it, or seek immediate legal advice.

If staff believe you may have contravened the 1983 Representation of the People's Act they may pass your details on to the Police or other regulatory body."

Their best chance..

Would be to send a sub to the bottom to get the camera back!

will eventually make for precise set-downs on the surface of alien worlds

Ermmm Not quite right.. whilst they do hope to get to foreign worlds the falcon 9 launch stage never will.. it will never be Falcon 9 legs on alien soil, maybe Dragon paws will make it though...

Youview is a dead end borked fork of freeview.

By restricting the setop box to not allow local content (local media servers) they have already created a duff set top box. but worst of all Youview does not support ConnectTV so does not support freeview content delivered over the internet (there will soon be many channels delivered this way) like MotorsTV on Freeview channel 240 which works on any recent internet-connected FreeviewHD unit but is not supported on youview boxes.

The future of youview looks dim. when a standard smart tv will support ALL the freeview content delivery routes and has apps for iplayer and the other offerings.

Time is not the only lapse..

"shot at 6 frames a second for the journey and then played back at 18 frames a second."

That'd make it a simple x3. Which it clearly is not..

Perhaps 1 frame every 6 seconds played back at 18 fps making x108. which is more likely, 46s vid covers 82 minutes.

Who ate all the Pi?

Seems it was Lohan.

What we've all known for a long time.

The diagrams seem to show that men's brains are wired back-to-front and women's brains have all their wires crossed....

Brewing a self inflicted shitstorm?

Microsoft have nothing to worry about, their own research showed that people don't want backward compatibility, hence why its not included.

Of course if MS are just restricting backward compatibility to sell more games and there are enough non to tech savvy folks out there who do want it, enough to try this 'fix' ... then MS have a shit storm on their hands...

Question is, is it deservedly so?

Bit stupid to include an auto brick key sequence though...

Evil Empire uses Photoshop - haven't we heard that before?

Why, yes we have.

The perspective in the camera image is identical to the overall image, meaning the phone and hand were added on top of the portrait image, also no reflection of hand & phone in the shiny eyes.

return trips

I'm surprised no one has tripped over that yet; out of 4 capable of delivering to the ISS only 2 are capable of getting stuff back, and only 1 is man rated.

Nothing to see here...

non-story, rumour and hear say.

All risks still exist, even if this is officially declared, there is nothing to stop them recanting once he steps outside, or over a border.
