Meego

Is there a version of Meego available that would run on it? I've that on my old Acer Aspire One and, for something that's not finished yet, it's not bad.

Superb

I thought Ping would be a useless piece of crap but now I know it won't interface with Facebook I reckon it deserves a second look.

Time for some social networking down in O'Neill's yet?

Apathy kills Google's new-age Wave

just IMHO

I thought wave's biggest problem was that is required moving the whole communication into the googleverse. With gmail I can communicate with people that don't have gmail accounts even, occasionally, hotmail users.

er?

"Usually techie sites are full of sensible pro-choice, 'Free my Device', 'Its My Computer', 'Jail-breaker' kind of people"

You mean another bunch of small-minded arseholes who don't understand that the choice they should be exercising is not to buy the fucking thing in the first place?

I don't currently own an iPhone/smart-phone and life seems to have gone merrily on with barely a care in the world beyond still having more beer-tokens than I might otherwise have had. Must do something about that...

Oops: Chief Climategate investigator failed to declare eco directorship

forgot or didn't have to register?

I'm biased because I've generally only heard good things about Lord Oxburgh but reading this 'story' I did have to wonder about a couple of things. GLOBE has in it's listing 'Nature of Business (SIC(03)): 9132 - Political organisations' - I wonder if peers have to declare in the register of interests every political affiliation they have? I don't know the rules... I'm just asking.

Also the thing about him being one of 23 key legislators just means he's (a) a legislator and (b) people find him worth listening to.

Anyway, like I say, I'm biased but this doesn't strike me as a huge deal.

(for the record, while I hate the term, I'd fall on the 'climate sceptic' side of the debate and I rarely hug trees).

Apple bets on Mac-only photo land grab with Aperture 3

Re: sigh

As I've been saying for years:

a) Computers are a bit shit really

b) So are people

There are exceptions to point (b).

Alternatively: Computers are just dumb tools. So are most of the people using them.

hehe... twatblanketry :-)

Re: I just want a cheap netbook

Not the cheap option but iPod touch and iPhone are ARM based aren't they... and there's rumours of a jumbo iPod touch, iTablet thingumy. A device that just works? Even games available from iTunes...
