Killer app

It seems that Apple have finally figured why young people have Blackberries - BBM.

Imessage will offer a strong incentive for people to not get BBs just for chatting. Chat on iphones, which is currently only via third party apps, arent nearly as good as bbm.

My nerd brother bought me the Riddick things for my birthday.

Worst. Birthday. Ever.

I kicked off about this today

I called O2 customer support today and complained and they gave me an apology, said it hadn't been handled well, and gave me £5 credit.

You'll have to excuse me...

...But my wife and I will have to leave because we've just both come.

Hmm

"The search for our daughter Madeleine has been greatly enhanced by the work carried out by the team at CEOP."

Yeah, but they haven't found her yet have they?

Could I have the bill please?

It appears that both my wife and I have just come.

Also

Let's not forget that they would search you on the way in and collect phones, then when they went missing they wouldn't be responsible for any losses.

Squirt

The Rolls Royce of keyring tools is the Leatherman Squirt p4. Normally I wouldn't buy such an expensive device (£45) however my local John Lewis made a mistake and sold it to me for £12.

Dongles

The amount of trouble I have getting a decent signal on my dongle is ludicrous. I end up waiting 10 minutes to send an email because I'm barely connected. I was missold

Good

Unfunded bribes the lot of 'em.

Lame

This version of the console is 5 years too late. Everyone who has an xbox, won't upgrade, and anyone who wanted one, would have got an elite 3 years ago.

WHAT?

GORDON'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debacle

The launch of the DAB system in the UK has got to go down as the most incompetent technical decision ever made in the history of broadcasting.

Fantastic

This game is seriously awesome. I love the online part as well and have already got a posse together for taking on banditos.

But! I still prefer GTA4 because I am basically an urban individual and armadillos scare me.

A Sad Day

Newzbin will be sorely sorely missed. However, they always had it coming.

I like this

I also agree with it. iTunes for windows is a buggy piece of shit.

Fail

windows mobile x=bum.

Lovely creamy chocolately eclairish android= now you're talking my language.

Battery

The battery life on this monster sucks.

Oh yeah

I have an iPhone and I have to beat birds off with a faecal truncheon.

I wish :-(

Shame

There is no mention of a solar charging solution.

Shit

Now I really want one. I think it would be the perfect simultaneous tv watching computery device.

CURSE YOU INCUBUS JOBS!

It doesn't take a genius

to guess that they are going to get enron style on their records

It seems nice

But I like to play with things before I buy them.

Mines already done

I let my whippet do it for me.

Meh

For a small screen device I think that multitasking is a bit pointless. I do think that the ipad should have multitasking though.

Christ

These fuckers are thick as asphalt milk-shakes.

7D

Eventually it will be cheaper to add dimensions instead of worthy, decent programming.

We will all be in Dante's 7th Dimension of Hellishly boring programming. "Wooooh, it's like we're in the tv but in the future and watching Brockian Ultra Cricket" we will say, but actually we will be crying inside.

Crying.

Oh Great

Who's the leader of the club

That's made for you and me?

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

ooookayyy

So, a disincentive then? I wonder how this will play.

Interesting

From my perspective, I am in the market for a ebook reader but the price gap between a kindle dx and an ipad is basically non-existent. If the ebook readers want to hit their sales out of the park they need to come down in price to become a commodity, not a niche device.

The ipad (and I won't be buying one) is a much more useful device for a similar price point. Where's the pricing differentiation?

If

If the Courier can do that, and do it like that, then holy shit. That was amazingly good.

Wow

I can never get it up when I go binge drinking...........so........... kudos.

The Lord Giveth

And the Lord Taketh Away.

Freakin' Nazis Man, Freakin' Nazis!

Kevin Smith

Retweeted the link to this article. Obviously this is what he thinks he will look like with the gastric band in place.

Remember me on this computer? Post anonymously?

Damn good idea. Damned good. Shame about the Skypopoly though.

I don't understand

Are lots of people bothered by gaming scores on XBL then? Is it that prestigious to have a high gamer score? I don't even know what my gamer score is.

Chinny reckon.

Oh dear

Toys thrown out of the pram by hulking 20th century businesses with equally elderly business practices?

Ludicrous pricing for books is going to kill this industry even before it starts. I am afraid that only our eye patched and be-parroted friends will win this one.

Hotel Rooms

Buying just 24 hours wifi from most hotels would be more expensive than having a months worth of contract 3g dongle action.

Howay

Ah will bet that those clivvor people from Newcassel winnet be buyin owt from them.

Ahh

I hope District 9 wins everything. That shit was off the hook.

You Kids

With your humour and 'music television'.

Huh?

"O2 axes broadband laptop bundle connection fee"

Why are they axing? Surely they already know what the fee is.

Oh Dear

If you can't innovate, litigate
