Re: And Picard is now a turd

Well done for not saying anything about wiping out Klingons.

Re: Let the lawsuits begin

So you see, your honour, at breakfast I bit into the slice of toast at the exact moment the windows 10 pop up appeared on the TV screen in my kitchen as I was watching the weather forecast, at which point like anyone I could not resist the urge to laugh uncontrollably. I could not breathe. I thrashed about the kitchen choking, knocking the TV, laptop, a few smartphones and a few expensive porcelain ornaments to the floor before my wife performed the heimlich on me, in the process dislocating her neck requiring expensive private medical attention.

All this came to $10,001 exactly. A cheque will be fine, thanks.

Re: Why no mention of their greatest inventions?

Don't forget the exciting innovation of apologising wrong.

Re: a bit harsh on the other fruity one

The microsoft line on that chart is what statisticians term "floor noise",

Surely the only meaningful equivalent in 2016 will just have Android, iOS and "others".

He was a great man indeed, and during #antennagate sure knew how to hold his phone.

Re: British politics in a nutshell

One leaders Cast Iron Guarantee is worth as much as anothers Boom And Bust promise - and both equal anothers Tuition Fee Pledge.

I was painful watching the helpless LibDems during this parliament. Even at every party conference during their once-per-century stint in power, Nick Cleggs main message was "I'm sorry".

Re: Strangely Poetic

When the watch stops it's your fault for not winding it up. When azure stops it's your fault for relying on microsoft.

Re: Blilliance

It makes this adjustment without using any power - even when switched off - making it eco-friendly too. And its users get an extra special surprise when its done this and they first see it.

And all because of the superior Apple user experience.

Re: Me got new one, me got bright yellow one

Remember folks - this is what Symbian was thrown away for, because we were all told it was a "burning platform", and Android swerved because "there is no way to differentiate handsets", unlike, err, the way manufacturers can infinitely customize WP8. Just don't tell that to Samsung, Sony, HTC etc.

Actually, yellow is an appropriate color when you think of whos pocket Elop was in when he made this "decision".

True, but not as embarrassing as Apple being ordered to print apologies for the same lie in the British press.

Then told to again, because they apologised wrong.

Perhaps Sinofsky did more than just publicly give Ballmer the bird when he left?

Re: Not surprising

I also find poppy related crimes offensive

Where do I complain?

Re: Will it be available in the UK at a reasonable price

Depends on the shape of its corners.

Siri, do you have any examples of the dramatic effects global warming is having on the environment?

Re: It sure is.

@sabroni I'm reminded of what Russell Brand said when he was caught making obscene phone calls with Jonathan Ross: "All I ever wanted to do was make people laugh.". The best reply, actually from the letters page in Viz: "Well Russell, start when you're ready".
