HTC is now becoming the nVidia of smartphones; re-releasing last years tech as a "new" product.
Actually, that position is already taken by Apple.
If you love the middle ages so much why don't you go live there?
Thanks a bunch, fanbois.
What's your flatmate done to his iPhone to mess it up?
Typical Jobsian attitude: 'You must be using it wrong'.
"Don't spread ill informed crap."
Says the Zune fan.
Zune? WTF is a 'Zune'??
Er, once a fortnight is still 'regular'.
jason 7: "I still remember sitting watching the foxes and rabbits thing...why????"
I also remember doing that with my Dad on Christmas day 1983! (Well, it did serve to prove the 'educational' aspect of the Speccy). Of course I could hardly wait to load-up Manic Miner again afterwards. :-)

Sorry you didn't like my comment, but even Apple can't change the law of gravity.
For weight probably, to stop the big fat iPad puling the whole thing over on its arse.
Shame the production design is almost nothing like the original idea. But I guess that's what happens when a plug designed by an art student comes up against engineers that actually know about electricity and stuff.
I always thought that the Enterprise looked like a really interesting machine, though I never managed to get to see one in the 'flesh'.
Are there any good emulators for it?
One of the more intelligent post I have ever read on these forums. Freedom of speech is an important human right but it is also a responsibility that is all to often abused by the media at large.
I think much of the problem is that today's rolling 24 hour news broadcasters need to fill their airtime with something. An opportunity for a bit doom mongering is always welcome.
Tau Ceti was indeed an excellent game. Spent hours on it and 'Academy'. Actually, pretty much all of Pete Cooke's games were classics (I even enjoyed the HGV simulator 'Juggernaut'). :)
I had 16-bit computers at home before any of that tat.

Whatever.
Shame those fancy individually addressable pixels in 8 colours didn't leave you with enough memory to do anything actually useful with though, eh?
IIRC, several of Sir Clive's adverts had him dragged across the advertising standards authority coals by Acorn?
Dunno about that, but one of Acorns advertisements certainly resulted in a punch-up:

If you still have a working copy perhaps you could consider uploading it to their archive?
Excellent article Tony!
For all my anti-fanboi trolling I must admit that I am a secret ZX Spectrum fanboi. (Double-standards? I've heard of them...)
Didn't home taping already kill the music industry?
"I'm sure the interface and body design could be done better."
Yeah, like leave out the memory card slot and the removable battery? Require iTunes to get you photos off the thing? Save the photos in a format that you can only edit on a Mac using Aperture?
They'd sell millions.
the-it-slayer: "Anything over 3.5" is just an overkill for a touchscreen phone."
Yeah, but only until Apple release a 4"+ screen phone. Then it'll be magical, revolutionary, and absolutely essential. Right?
Not bothered reading the "dreary anti-Apple comments"?
Mixed with n-hexane.
Lovely.
Maybe they should've asked Foxconn. Talk to the Organ Grinder - not the monkeys.
At last, Microsoft marketing dept. get honest.
RachelG: "Might as well bring up Gates saying no-one will ever need more than 640K..."
Yeah, except Gates never actually said that, or anything like it.
I think you'll find that many of the less-well informed (or less-honest) fanbois continue to spout the "Macs don't get viruses" myth.
I'd like to see you mount one of those beige monstrosities on a lego chassis and make something like a self-navigating robot out of it.
"Their's, because Apple don't actually say that."
Really? Then what the fuck is this then?(MAC vs PC - 'Viruses').
Baggaley: "If they still manage to infect their system, that's their own problem."
And if they infect their system after REPEATEDLY being told that "Macs don't get malware" by Apple and their legion of evangelical fanbois, who's fault is it then?
You don't need to root an Android to 'customise' it with widgets, different browsers, different launchers etc.
Do try to keep up Baggaley.

There FTFY.
'Cos there is nothing that steams Apple fanboys' piss more than one of 'the faithful' going public with apostate opinions like this.
I fully agree with Tom Melly. The 'shooting gallery' scene turned the Aliens into dumb cannon fodder, whereas in the original cut they appeared intelligent (e.g. by-passing the marines barricades by coming through the ceiling space, and cutting the base power).
...becuase stereo sound is almost certainly part of the original production, wheares the TV adding some random light show of its own is not.
Except it isn't 'random'.
Have you tried a doughnut?
Good idea, may I suggest Jake the 'chocolate snob'?
They're self righteous pompous idiots who make their point by being negative without having anything positive to say.
No, we are regular well-adjusted people who are sick of having iShit rammed in our faces every 5 fucking minutes.
" Lycra clad indeed. Jealous because you can't fit in any of the kit ?"
Fitting into Lyra isn't a problem. Not looking like Morph with a 'glandular condition' on the other hand...
Weight distribution. BMW have been doing this for a long time. My 325i SE had the battery in the boot 20-odd years ago.
Borrowing hospital plasters? Copying DVDs in a shop??
Please come back when you can think up an argument that is relevant and actually makes some fucking sense.
(...old ladies right in the face).
Alternatively, you could use your legit XP SP1 disc and the 'nLite' tool (search for it) to make a slipstreamed XP SP3 iso.
