Easy.

Have two facebook accounts.

* One with loads of stuff about Nietzsche, 17th century choral music, wallace and grommit, and oxfam.

* And one with pictures of your bum grafted onto cherie blair's neck.

Simples.

good proof point that this is actually real stuff

yes, this is what their real stuff actually does.

The worst I've paid to see is Starship Troopers, but I've had exposure to Battlefield earth and it is a stinker.

But I've twice had to sit through 'raise the Titanic' and it is in a league of awfulness that I hope is its own. Lower the Atlantic, it would be more believable.

@Caleb Cox

Hows about you pass the comments in this thread to whoever gave you the press release, and then tell us what they said.

Proxy?

This needs a proxy in it too. Lots of hotels charge for access and tie the password to a mac address. If you could make this device the mac address it would be very convenient too.

Feeble regulation

There is some wooliness in most things on that list, ut when we come to

"Groupon applies refunds policies and cancellation rights in accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations."

That seems to have been a demonstrable breach of law that should have been prosecuted, not discussed.

With Satre, the vehicle in front controls its followers

And, yes, the vehicle in front will be driven by a bulgarian halfwit trucker who has not slept for 78 hours, consumed several bottles of strong lager to keep awake, and will cheerfully turn down a railway line because he does not understand his satnav.

good idea, bad price

I'd pay 25-30p for an hour's television, not a peculiar amount like that.

want

I want the Jag estate or/and the Morgan electric.

Not that I can afford either, but I can dream, can't I?

Yes, the Bentley SUV is wretched.

"The team is now looking at practical applications"

Make a tiny submarine and send Stephen Boyd & Raquel Welch through someone's bloodstream?

Other possibilities

the iPurse - contains money that can only be spent on iThings.

the iNurse - robotic child minder shaped like Steve Jobs, with a calming voice that says "nanny knows best" whenever signs of of intelligence break through.

the iCurse - a portable device for practitioners of witchcraft.

the iTerse - speech synthesiser that reduces whole sentences to bad-tempered single words.

the iWorse - USA's next president.

Fine, as long as you can make it hover in mid-air so I can use both hands on it.

all been said

I came here to comment on the headline, but feel I have nothing left to insert.

I'm all for it.

We can stop worrying about global warming, running out of resources, and the effects of big motors, and have one hell of an extinction party instead.

WOO HOO!

but

surely it would have been remarkable if Google got a picture of a french street with no-one pissing in it?

Nothing for men?

I'll get back to the chrome porn catalogue:

Pah!

Didn't Range Rover have a dual view system about 3 years ago? No specs required?

Parallax barrier technology, that was it.

Did you surreptitiously sneak a reference to Market Deeping, Lincolnshire into the article?

Negative Ions?

you are /deliberately/ taking the piss, aren't you? I do hope so.

But David Blane is a gitwizard

Why does cache need to be flash? surely flash is a persistent store? Would not ram, or even static ram, be better for caching?

Hmm

No save point to restore from?

LED?

You are falling for the hype now. LED backlit, not LED pixels!

I don't really care

He made some dosh, and paid his taxes. No news there, surely.

Yes, people have paid rather more per kg for his bubble, but I didn't , so I don't really care.

This is non-news, and we get enough of that from the BBC.
