I'm sure it's a lovely device

...but it looks awful. Also, from various sources, no UMD, so you have to download ALL your games. This thing will hacked wide-open on release day...

(sorry If I re-iterated anything in the article, I just skimmed over it)

Dell's Homo-Erotic Fantasy

Dell further subjegates it's customers by breaking us up into boys-only/girls-only websites. Are they planning to evolve the boys site into a Nuts/Zoo-esque affair.

Personally I would pay for a Dell Laptop if Jordon had a tits draped all over it...

Could have been worse!!

Kettring is The Midland sLint Basket

iphone 4G

this would support the rumours of an OLED screen though, allowing for a thinner iPhone and an even thinner iPod Touch.

It's the Kate Moss of mobile phones surely, just without the drug addled boyfriend...

not bad

...pretty crap iPod Touch users have to pay for it though. I am guessing if this is limited to the 3G iPhones, then it will probably be limited to the newer iPod Touch??!

Kindle Smindle

These look very similar to the "concept" images of the Kindle from a few years ago??!!

NXE Impressions

All in all I'm impressed with it, it certainly SEEMS to make the console feel more lightweight. I have already installed GTA: IV to the HDD leaving me with 5GB of space to save stuff too (I have the demo of Mirrors edge installed too) So a 20GB HDD isn't a total bust, but you have to think carefully before you download something now...

I'm al;ready saving my pennies for a 120GB HDD... Microsoft's plan all along I think...

What happens when the experience becomes old hat though, will it just become Xbox Experience??

Also anyone noticed they retured Windows 3.11 recently too, coincidence??

What about...

Kolonic Kestrel!!

re: Kari is hot

Yes Kari is hot, but she seems to be getting more and more annoying with each episode.

Maybe they are having legal issues regarding the RFID stuff BECUASE it may be a tad illegal to clone/copy information. Just a thought, I may be hellishly wrong!!

Black Market

Oh the puns that could arise, but I assume you mean the Black Market AKA eBay??!!

CHEEK!

I remember using Windows 3.11, so it wasn't that long ago...

you can't tell me the UK school system is behind the times!!

Does anyone remember Jabra Headsets???

In the UK, There used to be Jabra "jelly" headsets, these had a tiny microphone that attached itself to your jawbone, so rather than looking like a call centre operative in your car, you could look like a tw*t in your car instead...

This is just reinventing the wheel

WTF???

With Sky the box is yours after 1 year, I don't know how it works with Virgin Media??? My parents where with them in the NTL days and afters 6 years of dedicated viewing, NTL asked for there box back when they left them to emigrate to Thailand...

Maybe it is just fear...

Police seem very afraid of technology. Maybe they are just scared of this "new" tech.

We once had a server hacked at a company I worked for in Stoke. They sent two officers down to collect finger prints and determine a point of entry to the server room, it didn't occur to them that this could be done remotely and they needed more electronic methods to see what had happened.

They went a lovely shade of red when we explained what a hack was and what DDOS attack meant...

Just waiting for GIMP now

just waiting for GIMP to come up to the same compatibility level and I can ditch Windows completely!!!

Well done OOO

What sort?

what sort of meta tag would that be then???

"it is extremely early to spot which format will eventually win" - WTF!!

I think it's a fore-gone conclusion that Blu-Ray will triumph, as reported on this very website, more and more people are moving over to Blu-Ray or drooping it completely from their sales line-up. Toshiba are being overly optimistic on this one!!

Backwards compatibility

Why would you buy a PS3 if you want to play PS2 games??? You never know, knowing Sony they will probably rejig the config of the 40GB version to include backwards compatibility and the missing card reader. Take the case of a 60GB and pop a 40GB in it (with a few extras fo course)...

Portable HDD??!!

Zipping is a good idea, but what about setting up an FTP server on it?? Or another WACKY idea, move it to the other PC you want to use it on!!

This drive sounds like a complete waste of time though, you could sue for mis-representation, the product DOES NOT do what it say it does, it doesn't let you share over your own network!!

No surprises

I am in a similar situation, everything I write or do on Wikipedia, whether it is relevant or not, is removed within 24 hours...

ID Cards

What's the point of ID cards now, there's enough fake data out there now for anyone to be cloned. When the abbey was bought by Santander and my records transferred over to the Santander system, they changed my name, screwing up every direct debit and standing order I have, bascially erasing me from history. The goverment has now lost enough data on me (as I have children), for someone to be open or do pretty much anything in my name.

So what if the data is protected by military grade encryption, so what, a 5 year old has probably already worked out the password, or even worse, the dumb-ass at the goverment office probably wrote the password ON THE CD!!

PS3 Sales Sky Rocket because...

could this also be down to the fact that Nintendo are suffering with stock at the moment, and you can't get one without remortgaging your home???

James Cameron LUUUUURVES The Titanic!!

First of all, Deepest sympathies to David and his family. Second of all, nice piece of fan-fic for the 'Voyage of the Damnded' Trailier, but as everyone else points out, Kylies is looking decidedly glam for a waitress. Nicely done though...
