>If you wanted to make a terrorist attack, why wait

>until you are through airport security?

Or, indeed, why this obsession with aeroplanes? Why not attack a nice, unpatrolled, railway terminus or cathedral or bus station or ferry terminal? All these, and more, feature in terrorist attacks in the mad orient, yet no-one imagines it will happen in the dignified occident.

We have even had attacks on busses and stations and branches of Mcdonalds, and yet only airports get the drop-yer-trousers approach to security.

Bonkers.

Cloud provider?

Don't MI6 or GCHQ have the expertise to run a government cloud?

They could house the swervers at Bletchley Park, the tunnels at Dover, Portland heights, Lunna,

Nothing wrong with that.

Re: conflicting form factors

You are obviously in possession of advanced info - you seem to know it won't cause damage. I did not deduce that from the original article.

Re: the next Yellowstone

I thought recent news suggested that the next Yellowstone would be Yellowstone?

Re: Never buying SONY again

I have an Xperia tablet from work. Connecting a Bluetooth keyboard kills thw WiFi dead.

Sony have /never/ replied to reports, emails, posts on their own forums or on farcebuk. I have tried to telephone both them and O2 and had no responses.

Buggerem. Sideways. With a rotating pineapple.

...the worst backup software there is except ...

The thing that annoys me about Acronis and all the other "user friendly" systems is you can't find out what they do from any documentation. When you fire up and give a backup name do you need to include the date? will the next one ask you again, append to that one, make a delta, make a new one by auto-increment the first name? what? say you want to use a physical device for backups, does it have to always be there? can you move the backup set to another bigger drive in 2 years time? or does it have to do it.

Seems to me the only way to find out is to try it and waste a lot of time.

Re: Monster mash

That's a million-to-one, surely?

Re: trouser pockets

Is it time for the thigh pocket ('sadlebag') to escape from the hill-walking fraternity and make it to high fashion and saville row? One of these monster phones is not unlike an OS map, after all.

Re: iPhone

Dual (or more) sim would be a killer!

Re: it just needs to integrate better with AD.

Everything you say is true.

It doesn't make me stop wishing that AD would die in as horrible a way as possible.

Re: IKB must be spinning in his grave.

But knowing him he will be doing at at some hitherto impossible rate!

Re: they really have nothing

>Side profile is pretty much identical to an Apple wireless keyboard / magic pad

It's been while since someone invented a new topographic form that hasn't been seen before.

you might just as well say that the Psion had a round bulge at the hinge and so has this...

H21 1D

The fact that they are still selling Windows Mobile 6.5 tells you a lot about how little Microsoft has thought about their legacy customers when designing WP7 & WP8.

You can't have it both ways

But what products do Apple (or Microsoft Surface for that matter) offer for people who [i]do[/i] want to chose serviceability rather than thinness?

Re: Rail network would be good too

Where I live doctor Beeching ripped our railways out, so I don't think it mattes here.

Re: To the vast majority of "normal" users, that's gobbledegook right there.

So why do they think they need a computer?

Re: Metro will never die!

Don't worry, RR, I won't vote you down. I recognise heavy irony when I see it.

Aye. well-known effect
