OK, I'm curious

How can they actually prove this?

"Look, due to our influence - THIS never happened!!

If we hadn't been involved, another 20 thousand people would have downloaded this film. Take our word for it, seriously !!"

Hmmm....

Paris Hilton

ok..

You had me at "suck my cock"....

Serves me right for early-adopting with a Kindle... damnit, there's always something just that bit better around the corner. Or on its knees.... in this case.

ooh !

Back of the net ! Get in !

lansalot
Meh

:(

Ah come on... New case "unveiled" ?

Opportunity missed with "New case un-sheathed", surely...

lansalot

hmm...

... tricky for those with tight download quotas then...

How about... take your removable SSD to (store), and they blow a copy onto the storage there, via some MS-provided delivery mechanism?

lansalot
Unhappy

ha!

As usual...

oh..

Dear America

You're a laughing-stock.

Love, everywhere-else.

even better

How about voice recognition, so if you shout "giggidy-giggidy!" at the same time, it's an "I *really* like" ?

interesting..

I especially liked how it took a chocolate bar for Katie Price/Jordan to have something intelligent-sounding to "say". Only to revert back to form moments after.

Nothing quite like celebrating your vacuousness out in the open, eh !

lovely!

Great timing - thanks so-called white-hats!

Release your PoC a couple days before xmas holidays... wonderful..

ah..

I think you'll find, Tony, that this is the 21st Century equivalent of 10 PRINT "Boobs!"; 20 GOTO 10

honestly..

I've loved the whole series, Brotherhood was a brilliant game. But, this mini-tower-defense thing is utterly crap and takes you right out of the game you're playing. It's bolted on, it jars, the execution is appalling, boring and just plain irritates.

Ubisoft could do with a patch to disable that crap for those that would rather just get on with playing the game they thought they were buying.

Oh, and Ubisoft - your code to allow me to play online is SHIT. I pay my xbox live subscription to enable online play, so stop trying to screw anyone who dares buy the game second-hand. You grasping little wankers. This is how it works in the real world, and just because you feel you deserve a cut because I've finished your game and someone else wants to buy it doesn't entitle you to another slice.

You don't see me paying Ford a chunk when I buy my car secondhand, do you ?

lansalot

ooh

Acer R3700. It's practically a hand-held and does full-res 1080p HD. XBMC loaded on and full steam ahead.

Personally, I liked this one..

As seen on twitter, via @TwopTwips...

SIRI: When unable to understand the Scottish accent, have an educated guess by recommending the nearest pub.

I liked it...

lansalot
WTF?

file transfer?

File transfer? Over bluetooth! Hey, about time - that would come in handy! I quite often take a photo on my iphone I want to bluetooth to a friend, so that would be useful.

Ah wait, I remember.. in the dim and distant past (before I went iphone), I was able to do this with my Nokia's and Sony Ericsson's..

Apple - striving to ensure you eventually forget about the freedom you once had.

rodents?

Seriously, rats?

They should deploy CAT-5....

lansalot

ah come on...

Maybe he was just over-bored....

lansalot

OK..

Any chance of this review FORCING the Desmond empire (Star, Express etc) to have to join and comply with the new-and-improved PCC once again?

lansalot
Unhappy

Well

If it's that bad, I think it becomes MS to provide a bootable ISO/USB that will fix it in a one-er, without the need to reinstall everything.

Ker-ching for those fixing PCs as homers in the meantime!

Facepalm

Nasty...

They could also do her for racketeering (sorry!).... or, driving with a load not securely tied down ?

lansalot

hahaha

Will take a certain age of reader to understand the "Lion Bar" bit there...

Topic-al ?

lansalot
Happy

Ouch..

"Rather than fingering his back-seat squeeze"...

And there was me thinking it was The Law that had the long arm.....

lansalot

oh come on..

Surely it's as simple as "two of every animal on one boat"? Completely impossibly to collate in a thousand lifetimes, and thousand other reasons why it would never work.

Piss off, in short.

lansalot

ouch

He's due a leathering for that one...

lansalot

hehe

As seen on Twitter earlier.....

BBFC. Ban Human Centipede 2 and explain why, thus giving the ailing British piracy industry a much needed shot in the arm. @FurryCanary

errr

"Simply activate the 'Erase Data' feature to wipe all data on the iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, stopping brute-force attacks"

The brute-forcing would be done offline against the specific files - you'd only be putting the derived key into the device. Hence this would be no defence.

lansalot
WTF?

(un)happy?

"We are (un)happy to announce.."

Sounds like you have a nice little product in your sales portfolio now. And loads of free publicity for the fact? Why would you be (un)happy about that?

Ker-ching! (tossers)

lansalot

also..

The rate that Adobe has to push its fixes out, I'd really rather not wait until once a month anyway...

lansalot
Unhappy

a shame

I played all the previous Lego games (bar Harry Potter) with my 12yo daughter. We've been playing them since the first Lego Star Wars came out on the 360 (about 3 years ago). They've always been intuitive and very well put together, a good family game.

We sat down to this, really looking forward to it. Both of us actually find it quite confusing at times, and we're very well-versed in the lego games having completed everything in SW, Indiana Jones etc.

She's given up on it totally after the first couple of levels (those major battle scenes are just a confusing mess) claiming she has no idea what's going on, where she is, what she's supposed to be doing or what's happening. And as a seasoned gamer (but one who sadly paid for it), I'm not that far behind her.

A shame. Something just isn't right here, it doesn't play as well as the others do. So, back to finishing off Lego Batman it is then !

6/10 from me.

"Anyway why not just use a pedometer like the rest of the world......."

Paedo??? Paedo?????? Where's my Daily Mail?!?!? There's laws against that sort of thing young man. People like you make me sick so I'm told....

hmmm

This is exactly the sort of hands-on approach needed to finally settle that age-old question; just which nation is full of wankers ? Is there an iPhone version coming (as I would expect that the number of wankers would soar if so...) ?

Like the idea of the "encouraging" sounds.. but surely a picture would be more appropriate? You could have two, even - one of Halle Berry playing tennis perhaps for those racing towards the quick shufty, and another of Anne Widdecombe's ankle for those looking to extend their stamina... ?

Good to see it's free though, I wouldn't pay for such an app what with being so tight-fisted...

awww...

Looks like my trip to the Congo is out then... don't think I'll get a visa for that one... :(

lansalot

me too

Got the email from Play (regular customer, doesn't sound like it's their fault tho), and got the Acrobat X spam from GSN (never been there before, never heard of that site) as well...

hmmm..

Not sure I want my bottom loaded, but each to their own

Yours, predictably...

Unhappy

oh really?

"the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it."

...

and then going "ah shit - the only track I like on that album was the one I've been hearing on the radio - what a total waste of money that was !!!"

Might have worked when you were loaded, but if "allowance" money required saving for one album a month, then you really were up shit creek with that "model"...

lansalot
Thumb Up

personally..

I'm just glad to see they're asking for help now, rather than waiting till it's too late.

Good on them for that. It's no reflection on the staff on the ground of course, nor on Japan's tech capability. Sometimes events spiral a bit and it's helpful to have an outsider look at the situation. While some countries would be more inclined to pull an iron curtain round and secretly hide their tech, this is the proper way to go about it. Other countries, take note !

Astounding...

But what of Kerry Katona? And what's the latest with Jordan, Lester ???

What ???

lansalot
Unhappy

dear oh dear...

How completely depressing... :-(

lansalot

what?

An award? Give him a pinball machine - let's see how that pans out! ;-)

lansalot
Go

eh?

He sounds more like a graduate of Police Academy - specifically Eugene Tackleberry. Shoot first, no-questions later !

(Jesus, I can remember that after all these years...)

lansalot

hmmm

Should have taken the trio to the local prawn shop...

delays?

I had heard there were delays filming The Hobbit - I just presumed they were short-staffed.

Coat? Thanks, it's bitter out...

lansalot
WTF?

nice !

End an investigation into bribery with... a bribe ?

Corporate accountability, anyone ?

lansalot
Go

oooh..

Sounds like a nail-biting opportunity.... or maybe not...

lansalot
Unhappy

ha!

Kids, eh ?

I bet she'd like to put that one behind her... but I'm wondering if it was the mention of autism that gained the cheater a free month on XBL. That's a reward, isn't it - and not a punishment which you kinda might think was more deserved ?

Microsoft... They didn't need to make such a (frankly worthless) gesture. Now it seems like they've done it simply coz the kid was autistic. Pull your pants up Microsoft, no need for that.... You caught him, you've got the evidence. Let the moany-mom eat her humble-pie in public. Job done, case closed.

OK

So it took me a while...

Mock-cock ticky-tock bomb-clock shock ?

I'll get my coat.. :-(

lansalot
Unhappy

Love it..

This has so much potential for a tabloid-style pun-tastic headline.. I'm racking my brains, hope someone else is having more luck than me... :-(

lansalot
Happy

mind you..

My mate Michelle wasn't phased..

- nothing like a good bang for christmas

- the orgasms just blew me away

- i was so turned on by my new vibe i could have exploded everywhere

Thumbs-up for her then...

lansalot
Happy

well yeah..

It was crappily built. Which is why MS admitted responsibility and upped the warranty period for RROD. Where have you been hiding ??

lansalot
WTF?

bollocks

From memory..

RROD were caused by Forza 2 (when it came out).

They were also caused by GTA IV (when it came out)

Also caused by Gears of War 2 (when it came out)

Also caused by (whatever is currently popular).

Co-incidence. Get it repaired (and yes, it's a shitty thing that happens, it happened to me) and move on. It's no more kinect's fault than it is watching Sky player, playing Red Dead Revolver, or whatever else you were doing when it struck.
