Boffins pump out pop-up touchscreen

Ron

Not as good as it sounds

This sounds really good, then you watch the video and realise it can only create buttons that are built in to the screen there is no dynamic button creation really. Its like a screen which can hide its buttons and then display them again. What would be good if it could create buttons on a generic screen of any type and size decided by the application otherwise its just as limited as having actual buttons for example at the side of a cash machine.

yeah your techno-phobe missus is also gonna have to buy all her stuff via itunes. If her life has anything in it made by anyone except apple then she'll have problems. Unfortunately I like Oranges and bananas too so Apple is too restrictive.

Pirate Bay loses trial: defendants face prison time, hefty fines

Pirate

win for USA

It seems that no body can get away from the evil wrath of the U.S.A these days. They put pressure on others to abide by their laws and yet when they break them we can't do anything?

Is there anybody who doesn't know that torture is going on in an American facility? and yet we can do nothing against that?

Piracy does kill the market but it was the way this trial was conducted that annoyed me.

Why should pop stars get millions and millions of pounds anyway, we need to change the way we think and allow all sorts of free bands to surface and get rid of all the crap that we see today. Piracy will pave the way for a new type of consumerism in the end anyway.

(Pirates because we are all Pirates at heart)

Game creator slams Wii MotionPlus

Wii on Me

They should give these away for free because the control accuracy is so sub standard anyway, it should have been designed better in the first place. I kind of feel like the wii pulls the the wool over peoples eyes as all the games are sub standard with gfx to match. The controls are flaky at best.

Also this add-on doesn't look like it'll fit into my WII gun either, another flaw.

Landmark copyright trial against Pirate Bay gets underway

I can find Torrents on google

Fair enough they say that they are just providing links to torrents and not providing the actual data itself. Google provides links to torrents. If i google anything and add .torrent on the end i'm sure i'll find some reference of it somewhere on the net and be able to download it for free shortly afterwards.

Now is googling for a torrent the same as using pirate bay to search for a torrent?

Seagate isolates 'potential' Barracuda flaw

Finally

I've had seagate barracudas for quite a while now. I've taken my 2x 320gig Seagate Barracudas back to the shop around 7-8 times before they said i wasn't able to return them any more. Recently my failing seagate barracuda wasn't showing in bios and caused windows 7 to boot infinitely. Same would happen on the vista cd set-up before i ended up disconnecting them completely. Atleast I know not to get any more !

Employees sue for unpaid Windows Vista overtime

lol !

I think this guys watch goes about 5x faster than anyone elses 15 minutes to boot vista. They must all be working on 486's or something. You could load programs off a tape quicker than that!

Sounds like these people are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
