France???  

In Video games blamed for England Euro flop

Thumb Up

lucky the French made every family throw away there game consoles which led to them winning the world cup. A great policy....

In Why is the iPlayer a multi million pound disaster?

Unhappy

It works really nicely, and they handled the p2p kontiki issue far better than channel 4 or sky. At least when you switch it off, it stays off.

The article above sounds like a mac fan boy ranting/crying.

Please stop printing tripe on the reg, the quality of the material is really going downhill. I really liked it when it produced insightful and witty content.

"Your one source said this and another source said this" is really an infantile way to write a supposedly serious article. Please do your research instead of quoting your mates down the pub.

Would be awesome if they could do some customer service  

In Virgin Media pins hopes on the broadband donkey

Stop

Virgin Media, do in fact stand out, predominantly for the poorness of their service and customer support. They are one of the few suppliers to have a premium rate telephone number for telephone support, and rude, yes I really mean rude telephone advisors.

Their 10mb broadband was running so slow on so many exchanges because they couldn't pay to increase the bandwidth, that it was reduced to virtually dialup levels. How they are going to be able to handle 50mb when 10 was beyond them, is really perplexing to me.

Take a look at some of the Virgin media sucks messages on the various websites and even on facebook, and you will see many others lament how poor the company is and how to extricate themselves from the contract.

In TalkTalk slams slamming charges

I called them several times asking them NOT to migrate me and cancel my sky broadband. But they did it anyway. If you sign up with them, they will do it by default and migrate you to their system

Safari is not designed for windows users!  

In Jobs: one more thing... a browser war

The only reason that safari is on windows now is so that more web devs will support it, currently most don't even look at it. Secondly, the fruit must have been given some advice by their google board member that he pays firefox 50 mil a year for search results and that apple is retarded for not trying to get a larger piece of the cake....

The iphone, is going to sell iike hotcakes, especially since its a new ipod and it can rotate the screen automatically! He could put no applications on besides that and the interactive poo game and it will still sell out.... thats the power of the ipod brand... So basically in this case its screw you developers.... Frankly nothing on the windows mobile platform can touch the iphone in terms of usability,or functionality. Face it, apple does slick REALLY well
