Some people are just out for any excuse to be negative. So far all VM has done is announce the project but have put no flesh on the bones, however some of you are already seeing the devil in the detail.

If the story was that VM were keeping the existing platform and adding another tier of storage, the comments would be that they already have problems coping and should look at the example of wonderful free GMail.

TBH with some of you, if the story was that everything is going to stay exactly the same, but everyone was going to get a free laptop/ipod/xbox/<insert gadget here>, there would then be 3 camps - 1) it's not the right technology for me, 2) it'll be used to spy on me and my tinfoil hatted mates, 3) off topic vitriole because of an existing bias, so VM (and pretty much every major tech co, as the same comments apply) are damned whatever they do.

Personally I like VM, and I like GMail, but which is the best, there's only one way to find out...

Mine's the big white one with the gauze like hood.

a) I'm sure the one for Wollacombe is my family

b) the one for Amstetten, Austria made coffee come out of my nose

The universe is back in balance, amanfrommars had started making sense but now he is back to his cryptic/mystic/psychotic best. New algorithm?

No hate-filled bile. No unreasonable blinkered ranting. No personal attacks on Steve Jobs.

It must be Websters day off.

FLAME ON!

This might explain why the toysrus.co.uk site does appears to actually be about 4 years out, prompted by the article I went for a wander on there and found the sign up for the 'Gamers Club' - once you fill in the normal guff, you get to select what system(s) you have from : PlayStation 2; PSone; Xbox; Nintendo GameCube; PC; Nintendo Game Boy Color; Nintendo Game Boy Advance/SP; Nokia N-Gage, not exactly embracing the latest gaming technology. It's this attention to detail that makes me think the leap 'error' is going to take a while to be fixed.

Paris? She'd know what to do if her date had a digit that didn't seem to fit.

' And Microsoft said 'But that bug has been in our software for 20 years, it has to be in the standard.'" '

As this is a leap year related bug, it's only been in there 5 years!

That one there with the pocket protectors and the leather patches on the elbows.

C'mon, the PS controller is a design that should not be messed with. It is an ergonomic joy. Compare with the MonStrosity that comes with the X-Box and the TV remote (Lite) that you have on the Wiiiiiiiiiii, I know which one sits comfiest when you're settling in for a prolonged FIFA-fest.

Paris? Another model with retro looks but new vibration functions.
