T-Mobile getting out of blighty?

No wonder...

...they are in dire financial straits - is there really ANY reason for having about 3 T-Mobile shops in the centre of Birmingham? 1 in the Bullring, 1 on New Street, 1 on corporation street - all within about 400 metres of one another.

To all the people wondering "why this over XP"

...how about security updates once XP ceases to be supported, which I would wager isn't very far away.

XP is now 8 years and (almost) 2 releases old.

HMRC bigs up success of online tax returns

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Cannot fathom why people are moaning about having an activation pin sent out in the post...these are the same people who would moan if it wasn't as it wouldn't be secure to send via email.

Once again, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Retailers risk libel nightmare over 'no-work' database

Fortunately

Our defamation/libel laws are very litigant friendly in the UK; the burden of proof lies with the defendant in a trial, which is why every tom dick and harry sues for libel in the UK as opposed to anywhere else.

I give this thing three weeks before the company running it is sued into submission.
