I've seen at least 2 SP3's with Simplo batteries with this fault.

they went from ~38w/h to ~2w/h in a matter of weeks.

Windows 10 didn't make any difference.[yet]

I had an iPhone 4 replaced twice in two weeks. the first one the cellular data just died entirely after a couple of days.

The second one they refused to replace, I believe had a 3rd party screen replacement in it (when I received it from apple). the screen wasn't as clear as itshould have been - I cant really explain it, but it seemed like it was displaying the image from an interleaved signal. eg you would look really closely and every second line would have this faint flicker to it. so annoying!

Instead, claim the drive was encrypted and then jail the guy indefinitely for refusing to decrypt?

Ok

So.. The form should have a hidden field with a random length of data added at runtime?

Sounds like some sort of Short Messaging Service

would not be surprised...

I would not be surprised if Telstra were throttling Netflix, to steer users toward their crappy Presto offering..

Connecting to wifi

Is this your first time with windows 8? You don't need to open control panel or network and sharing centre to connect to wifi.. Just use the right charm and click networks. Wifi networks will be listed right there

Installed it today

So I just installed Skype for business today. It's really just Lync with a new skin. I don't think you'd even need to upgrade the server unless you had some old version that doesnt support the updated client.

I found the new UI to be rubbish, very little contrast in some areas, like using Office 365 without using the light-grey or dark-grey theme.

The new notification sounds are even worse, so I will be changing those pretty quickly.

You can switch between the lync/Skype themes by changing a registry key and restarting the client.

I much prefer 'Lync' as a name as well. Lotus Sametime had some perks but I prefer Lync

hasn't this been done already

Or could we just expand on this http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/11/project_ara_mdk_alpha/

and have the Processor/mainboard modular too?

You know, just have everything plug into the back of the screen, acting like a hub?

Unlimited...

So, have they also done away with the 20,000 file limit, where the app then silently stops syncing? How about the invalid filenames, which are valid in windows.. MS have a tool that let's you scan a folder to be sure it will sync ok. Why not build that into OneDrive? Why not use the same limits as their own OS?

No doubt to watch game of thrones will require a $35/mth upgrade package..

How about...

Replacing the L with an uppercase i ?

... "in a move that will please the green lobby, the switch can be run off a battery that, according to CSR, will last for up to six years"

These statements are dumb. If it takes six years to flatten a battery. How much mains power could it possibly use. Plus you don't have the environmental impact of battery disposal.

In Queensland they are introducing the requirement that all tattoo parlour operators must have their fingerprints recorded in CrimTrac before their tattoo license will be renewed. You don't even need to be a criminal! They also said the prints will remain in the system permanently and can be used to match prints from crime scenes..

Hopefully..

Hopefully the rumour is wrong, and it turns out to be a tablet capable of running OSX or bootcamp-ing windows 8.. That could be nice.

So the PS4 is for "play". But I read here that it won't play mp3 or stream DLNA.. What kind of 'play' is that.

I'll stick to my PC thanks

These prices aren't that cheap once you factor in monthly line rental. I'll keep my unlimited Jiva thanks!

When I was younger, I once stayed up til midnight to plug in my alarm clock, just so it would flash the time. It was one that the time would change so it was accurate and constantly flashing...

How much for the ps4 without the Cinavia feature?

"...such as stealthily posting tweets, taking photos, stealing device identity information, sending email and SMS, attacking other apps, and even exploiting kernel vulnerabilities..."

fairly sure that the user must first allow the program to send tweets/take photos/send sms...

not sure how it would attack other apps as its sandboxed, - unless it jailbreaks the device first..

this sounds a lot like Differential GPS..

but with "phase" detection...?

D-GPS has been around for years, and did ~10cm accuracy- IIRC

I'm not surprised that there are 100k+ apps in the store..

I was browsing in it (for the first time) and I saw at least three different versions of Media Player Classic with the same image, and they were all $5. There must be pretty poor (or none) QA process..

I'm curious to see if restoring firmware via DFU would bypass this protection, unless that prompt for iCloud I'd and password is kept in a separate location on the device..

3mAh? at how many volts?

This doesnt give an indication to the actual capacity this offers.

Low power LEDs, that you might find in your optical mouse may draw between 4-20mA at 2 volts (according to wikipedia)

**Assuming** this battery outputs 2 volts at 3mAh (0.004w), it might run a low power LED for maybe an hour..

an AA battery (1.5v/250mah) could run the same for almost 4 days?

low screen resolution

I dont think that the low resolution is an issue at all.

To those who would like it alot higher, could you stare at 1920x1080 over a 12.5" area?

everything would be so small and just cause frustration
