C'mon, Reg

Sure, Kim is a dick. He's also grossly, if not morbidly, obese and while it's ok to acknowledge that fact, making snarky comments on his size really makes you no better than the SIS. Grow up.

new slogan

A slight update to El Reg's slogan: "Biting the hand that feeds shIT."

hard worker

Won't be working quite so frenetically once he's off the meth, I'd wager.

no need to renew it

when we've now got our running dog lackeys, Australia, Canada and Britain, to do it for us.

Hire a proper photographer, please

While I enjoy the car reviews, I'm constantly disappointed by the terrible pictures that accompany them.

For example: Show us the whole back end, not just a taillight, and not a close-up, either, step back so we can see how it integrates with the whole. Same with the front end.

Just sayin'.

I want that hat!

Where can I order one?

"... finds cheeky exploit a bitter taste"

Kind of like their coffee then.

I'm confused

I thought Verizon had stopped it's fiber build out years ago in order to push people into using more expensive cellular wireless. Are they now saying they're going to start building again, that once they've sold off their copper (as they've announced) they'll replace it with fiber?

Every Verizon employee I've badgered over the years has maintained that Verizon will never bring fiber to my city.

What a co-incidence

Just bought the 1st Witcher from GoGamer for $3. Only played for a couple of hours so far but seems interesting and sure looks pretty. Glad to see the new one's good.

white hat hackers ...

That would make them 'whackers'?

Well, guess this means my Verizon bill will be going up.

half humans fault

You mean, like, halflings? Damn those hobbits!

better get that video service up

Then the money will start rolling in, just ask Google.

Just curious ...

What does the LG G Watch (pictured) have to do with the iPhone 6?

WTF!?

"Error loading YouTube: video ID is invalid"

I want to see that cat video, dammit!

Thanks

That headline made me think of the scene with the radar gun in Super Troopers.

new beta testers

So, home users will be beta testing the patches for enterprise users now?

Ghostery browser

Ghostery, the browser add-on people, have released their own Android browser. It's available thru the Play Store.

Is there ...

an emoji for "because"?

Might want to add 'Jr.' to the DA's name

So as not to be confused with his father, the former Secretary of State under Carter.

(Tried to use corrections but don't have an email account on work computer, sorry.)

"it’s good that people are interested in us"

Well, you know what Wilde used to say ...

"recreational terror[-ism, -ist]"

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thank you for that wonderful euphemism.

Employing a botnet is just a modern twist on an age-old phenomenon (ask anyone employed in the service industry).

And I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice, eh?

Finally, a reason to join Twitter!

Not.

This just in: Rand Paul an ass

Well, d'uh.

Won't Work [on] Hipster[s]

OMG! That's like half the potential buyers!

Still, likely proof the watch itself has discerning tastes.

Meh

I'd had a Steam account since shortly after they launched it but had never used it. Recently, though, I bought Goat RPG Simulator; when I realized Steam ran in the background even when playing a single player game, I uninstalled it (along with the Goat game). I buy games through GOG now.

couldn't work in lace curtains?

Tsk, tsk. Disappointed.

Nice change of pace

Nice to see someone suing Verizon for a change. Turn about and all that.

Only 12 cent per phone loss?

Not very much really and easily made up in commissions on app sales Oh, wait.

Well...

Now that they're not going to be spending time and effort trying to get the merger approved, they'll direct those energies into improving their customer service?

Ah, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, right.

Looks like even Apple didn't think these things would sell

Otherwise they'd have warehouses full of them and the people who placed those million+ orders wouldn't be waiting 'til June too get them. Probably just made enough to fill all the display cases in all the stores.

pay to play

Nice ads you're serving there, be a shame if no one could see them.

How can this be competing with Netflix?

Netflix shows movies, some episodic shows it produces itself, and back seasons of some TV shows, not current TV shows. It would seem Verizon's plan would put them more in competition with Hulu.

And since it's only aimed at FIOS users, it's going to have a very limited market, indeed.

Drat!

Back to rigging elections the old-fashioned way, I guess.
