Microsoft and Murdoch: Teaming up to bash Google? 01:58am on 24 Nov 2009 If the Sun believe that the X-Factor is the lead headline from all world news from today, then I'm more than happy to continue using Google, if it means I avoid the bilge and dirge Rupert Murdoch's operations generate.
The Digital Economy Bill - does it add up? 12:46pm on 22 Nov 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen of Great Britain. Your house of Commons has abandoned you.
You just have to hope and prey that the Lords or the EU will slap this down. Your rights to a fair trial, and for laws and rules to be properly debated and discussed are on the line because of an unelected parliamentarian and a record company executives sordid meetings on a yacht.

It makes the Deripaska meetings from a few years ago look positively clean cut.

We can only hope this highly contentious attack on the basic civil rights of British people can be defeated and prolonged by ISPs, and hope that The Unelected Dark Lord Mandelson will have to shamefully resign for a third time.
What Mercedes buy-out of Brawn could mean 11:07am on 17 Nov 2009 Well the blog post pretty much says everything I would have.
They are too very different drivers. Button likes a smooth drive and Hamilton likes to fight his car.

The difference between the two is so great, that you might end up with a car of blamange. They don't really compliment each other as drivers, and I can't see Button being overly happy about being the number 2 driver, regardless of the number on his car.
The anonymous bullies 1:31pm on 16 Nov 2009 I think the three quotes you've posted here don't highlight bullying at all. I just think they show people who are dramatically critical, using ridiculous language.

Please don't mix up the issues of electronic bullying with the issues of anonymous idiots making ridiculous statements, as you only serve to trivialise the real problems.
Vaz v Watson - Modern Warfare 2 01:55am on 12 Nov 2009 The one thing I can see in common with all violent people, isn't video games.
They were all babies once, and therefore they all drank milk, so surely the answer is to ban milk?

The content is pretty distasteful, but the game warns you before playing it, so you can avoid it should you wish.

Its ironic that Mr Vaz would talk about taste and decency, considering his voting record on war, his second home being 12 miles from his own home, and being the proud holder of the longest suspension from the UK parliament for trying to obstruct investations into his affairs

In context of the story, the scene is showing you that good people sometimes have to do bad things in order for the benefit of the world, something that in the week of Remembrance, we have to realise happens. Lets not forget what we, the allies did to Dresden.
Orange's 'unlimited' iPhone 10:12am on 03 Nov 2009 @Wayne Smallman

Orange offer exactly the same amount of minutes and texts on the iPhone as O2 do for the comparable contracts. Orange do a cheaper contract, with very restrictive texts and minutes allowance, but the comparable contracts are almost identical. It makes you wonder who is setting the contract pricing. Is it the networks, or Apple? The price difference up front and on the contract is pennies at most.

Simply, I can upgrade my launch day iPhone 3G next month and I live in an urban area with perfectly acceptable O2 3G coverage. Do I go to the hassle of moving my phone number over to Orange, or do I stay with O2?

I think its quite clear what I'd do.

Lets see how Vodafone goes with their announcement in the very near future. If they stick rigidly to this pricing scheme, people are going to be questioning if there has been some price fixing occuring.
Nutt gets the sack 12:37pm on 01 Nov 2009 Is it really any surprise that the Government are now ignoring scientific advice? David Kelly was ignored and look where that went.

Its a shocking indictment of this Government that they ignore scientific evidence, absolutely shocking. What hope do we have for science in this country anymore?
Valero and Vieri: the future and the past 6:52pm on 27 Oct 2009 Nice to see so many people completely missed my point about referencing Glenn Whelan playing for England there then!

The point is being Irish he couldn't.
Just like Valero, not being that talented, won't be a Euro Superstar...
Valero and Vieri: the future and the past 10:20pm on 26 Oct 2009 Well, here comes a West Brom fan.

He's far too lightweight to be a success anywhere but Spain, and he isn't the kind of player you would rely on playing against anyone with a bit of physicality. There is absolutely no way he'd be able to get past anyone in a Champions League/UEFA Cup team in this country, Italy, Germany and possibly even France. Stoke

He certainly had some talent, that is without question, but Borja Valero doesn't have the grit that makes a truely great player. Vieri would put his foot in if required, Valero would never do so.

If Borja Valero is the next great European Superstar, I look forward to your write ups of Glenn Whelan being the key to England's World Cup hopes, and Luke Moore's inevitable claim to have his name on the Ballon D'or by 2013...
24 hours with Ubuntu 2:04pm on 23 Oct 2009 I think what you miss Rory, is the move to Software in the cloud and software as a service. When this starts to hit the mainstream (as it already is in some respects, such as Google Docs, Flickr etc) then the OS becomes irrelevant and the web browser becomes all encompassing. Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla all recognise this too.

The future of computing isn't the processing power you have under your monitor, its the web browser you run.
