Re: Government verification gateway without the verification

And a good idea.

You forget though that this is GDS where they take 12 weeks in discovery, do "user research" and come up with a "better" idea, which then "fails fast" in beta.

All at great cost, whilst wearing shorts.

Re: Registered office.

Scotland are in a lose lose situation: stay in the Union and continue to complain about Westminster for no reason; leave and lose all these companies, have no currency, create a doomed economy with a mass emigration problem at Gretna.

If they do pack up and leave, then good luck to them: there's not much Oil left in the North Sea; Welsh whisky ain't that bad; and no one wears tartan skirts.

I'm getting the popcorn ready, it's going to be comic either way.

Re: Sadly...

I claim to be no expert in such matters, but don't these AMD's provide better performance per £ especially in multi-threaded workloads?

The only reason the intels get a good rap is they are better at single threaded performance and older games can only do single thread?

i'm not sure a pure nerd model would be efficient. The nerds would just spend a lot of time arguing which technology is the best thing to use, whilst not finding out what the business actually requires.

Re: This is clearly vital information.

good is a terrible implementation of secure email and calendar for BYOD companies.

It's also red and ugly and stands out like a cooked lobster in a tin of sardines.

Re: watches

Just avoid buying a Rolex and buy a nice watch with some style then.

Re: UK vs Euro pricing

well yeah, that is indeed ridiculous.

I'll just continue to use their cloud services for free whilst I get my wares by other means...

Re: Well I think they're cool and want one!

come out from behind your AC shadows and tell us we look like dicks to our faces (but please don't say "google" before you say "dicks").

Re: I solemnly promise

but when it's called an iGlass, I'm sure you'll be onboard ;)

Re: Don't believe the hype...

also agree with the article, but don't agree that I'm currently fully happy with 3G.

Whilst H+ is fantastic and has got good coverage, the coverage on a train is just s**t which is where I personally need 3G coverage the most.

How hard is it to string a cable along the overhead wires pumping out a 3G signal across all railway networks?

Re: Jobs

Apple: "we've made a white rectangular phone with rounded corners, which has STT&TTS, what else is there to innovate???"

hmm, not great first impressions.

Stock Galaxy Note II, it's slow to load, says an app restart is required a lot and you can't specify when you want to sync files for offline reading or if that can only happen on wifi.

I'd find a better outfit to outsource this to.

Re: ?

@MyBackDoor

I might agree with you if this was a few years ago, but times are changing: cost of ownership and maintenance is king and lock in is currently cheaper and simpler.

Re: Maps worth more to Google than Apple?

i'll take my own advice thanks, I like my own advice, it's paranoid free.

Until some secret assassin knocks on my door for looking at too much porn, I'll be fine - and if that does happen, I'll go all Jack Bauer on the world.

I think we're just better at putting up with piss poor services since we've had to endure piss poor services most of our lives.

Re: I believe RIM is toast

They should of opened up their BES to all devices long ago and become a services company.

Re: Said it before and I'll say it again

but people generally discover they don't really want an iPad either after the newness and marketing spiel wares off.

Personally, I think if tablets survive in the future, it will be the cheap tablets that lead the way. The keyboard and mouse works for a reason.

Re: Pretty cool

lol, indeed, it is impressively thin, but what would you do with the space saved :)

Re: Wow

"Unfortunately for Nokia, the big profit is to be made in the apple distortion field."

there, fixed that for ya

Re: Stupid HTC Management

The verge's article on why they might of done this has some interesting points

indeed, I thought the 920 would be my next phone (the camera being it's biggest selling point for me), but the tie up with EE coupled with not wanting to be an early adopter of the unproven windows 8 means I will be skipping this Nokia.

Shame, as it looks like a great piece of hardware.

(BTW this whole fanboy/fandroid riling up malarkey sure is a fun way to kill time at work)

Re: Bought one yesterday after the price-drop

is that you Joerg? Being an AC from now on eh?

Anyway, I've yet to see an iPad used for anything other than web browsing, facebook, and the occasional note taking. If you ask me, they take a lot of your money for a device which people don't do very much on.

People will soon realise they've been idiots buying into iFail.

Re: Bah to El Fan Boyz

when they released the windows phone one a long long time ago now it feels, they said the android one would be released in a couple of weeks.

Not holding out hope...

Re: Why always FakeOS?

because something which looks good and fancy often isn't very user friendly

Re: $100 Nexus?

just google for the 10" nexus and you'll find the rumours. At $300 it would be great, hopefully they'll see sense in their pricing unlike MS and their OEMs

Re: $499

sorry for double post.

especially with the lumia 920 coming out which is a much more exciting prospect with it's camera

Re: Makes note to check camouflage on the shark pens

you might need to double check, if this is what you can get commercially, imagine what's been in secret military spy satellites all these years...
