Yawn...

Another Bloody Stoopid already out of date Law made by a bunch of archaic idiots who couldn't collectively find there own arse-holes with the help of written instructions...

Ex-IT
Meh

Not Surprised...

Having bought several LaCie drives over the years, the build quality has taken a real dive over the past year (or so), it's fairly obvious they have internal problems; a take-over/buy-out really isn't a surprise.

OK, so this may be a silly question, how would anyone know if their details are at risk?

Is there a list of web hosts, sites & services that use WHMCS?

Pah!

In 2 weeks it'll be June, and it's still bloody cold!

I'm Confused!

When TPB link to copyrighted media ISP's are ordered to block access, Google link to copyrighted media and it's OK?

El Reg: I think we need to see the pictures; purely in the interests of ballanced reporting.

Shirley...

Using ANY network (WiFi or Wired) carries a risk unless you know who has configured it, interception and redirection is just so easy.

Ex-IT

Errr...

Just out of curiosity, do you have a part number for that seat?

Ex-IT

Yep...

Same Company, Same People; they changed the name after FibreCity went tits-up with pavements dug-up, contractors un-paid, promises un-fulfulled... blah, blah, blah!

Don't Care!

Just want fast reliable, fast Network access (mobile and wired) at a reasonable price and with reasonable terms.

Lock e'm in a cell with a group of Scientologists (also a good excuse to lock-up the Scientologists).

Yawn.

Um...

It's the thought of your GF asking if She can borrow it...

Ex-IT
Meh

Meh...

If it's good why does it have to be a 12 month contract?

If it was on a rolling monthly (or even 3 month) contract I'd be interested, but for 12 Months I'd want a guaranteed minimum level of service; 12 months is too long to take a chance.

Once bitten...

What is the official line from the Church/Lawyers, Is it considered Adultry to give one to a Hoover?

Ex-IT
Unhappy

No Thanks...

I stopped using iCloud when it started duplicating and deleting calendar events (at random), it was OK with 2 devices sync'd but the more you add the less reliable it became, when I got to 5 it was unuseable; the whole system seems the depend on all sync'd devices being on-line all the time.

Someone has too...

Pictures or it didn't happen!

Ooh!

I've been tempted ever since I saw a scathing review on an Apple FanBoy site; my immediate thoughts were, if Apple Fans are worried it must be something special... The more I look into it the more I want one, and that's not just because it isn't an iPhone.

Nothing Stolen?

Didn't Symantec say something very similar when they got raided?

Ex-IT

Pah!

Sounds more like Dr. Web (anyone heard of them before?) found a way of getting LOTS of free publicity.

Ex-IT

Why?

Why bother when you have TomsHardware Forum?

What's the point when It won't have that Apple Logo on it!

Makes me wonder, that on-line game "Nuke-Iran" I found at the weekend, it did look very realistic...

That's a Hamster!

Why is this country so obsesed with Illegal Imigrants?

Ex-IT

Simple...

If you're sleeping Rough the best place is outside an Apple Store, you just tell the Fuzz you're queueing for the latest iWhatever and you don't get moved on, there's also a good chance of getting your face in the paper and (maybe) a free cup of Coffee.

O2, the people who manage to make 3 Mobile look good!

America is the center of the Universe (in the same way the Arse-Hole is the center of the Body).

While yer in Bug Fix Mode...

How about spending some of them Billions on fixing the IOS Battery drain issue that was due to be fixed before Christmas, or the vanishing calendar events in iCloud, or the (still) dodgy BlueTooth stack in OS X, or producing a reliable Thunderbolt cable...

Does it have any attachments for those 3D Grumble Flicks?

So...

Where do the batteries go?

Ex-IT
Unhappy

But...

Until someone produces reliable cables, what's the point?

There are plenty of posts on Apples support forum from users who have to wrap their (Very Expensive Apple) Thunderbolt cables in tin foil to get the *kin things to work!

Better Idea...

The British version... paint the ceiling Grey and turn the sprinklers on every hour.

I repeat...

My previous comment, will it work with pictures of other body parts? if so this could be fun...

With all the recent political changes in the area, I'd consider Israel a very dangerous place for any long-tem investment.

Hmmm

I wonder if you could mount telephones in a box thing and position them at conveniant places around town, so people could step into the "TeleBox" and make calls withot getting in the way of others; the boxes could also double as an emergency urinal if needed.

Maybe I should patent the idea?

Was in the process of placing a (non-sale) order for some £650, then everything stopped responding, so I went elswhere.

Well done eBuyer.

Ex-IT
Mushroom

Agreed 100%

Problem is if it was left to Central Government to sort, nothing would be done but it would cost Billions; if it was left to Private Industry corners would be cut in the name of Profit/Share Dividends; experience tells me a colaboration between the two would result in the worst of both worlds (high costs and cut corners)!

Maybe we should just hand it over to the French, they seem to be far better than us at running a Nuclear Industry.
