In El Reg Street View snappers caught on camera

In Apple Mac Mini (Early 2009)

Interestingly, this ViewSonic monitor has the same panel as the new iMacs:

So a high end mini, Apple keyboard, mouse, this monitor and VAT will set you back £870.

In Apple tells Mac users: Get anti-virus

Mac users should worry about their Windows colleagues (it's a bit like having an injured puppy in the room) and have some sort of antivirus software running but ClamXAV is more than good enough and free.

I think it was more to pacify sysmans in mixed networks who can't bear the thought of not installing crap on computers to make them run slower and infuriate their users.

In OpenOffice 3.0 - the only option for masochistic Linux users

In King Arthur was English 'propaganda', French claim

Calling Arthur an English king is like saying Cornwall is part of England.

In Analyst: Intel Atom inside iPhone in 2010

In MPs: Axe Nimrod subhunters to balance MoD budget

In our modern fast warfare scenarios, why do we still hang on to archaic divisions in the armed forces where all three operate aircraft, yet we have the RAF, etc.

Maybe the real saving could come with having just one armed force, that works together and has one set of equipment. We could then concentrate on always having the best for each job.
