I smell

Ken Mulcair's hand in this.....

Has anyone checked if the company is owned by News International?

I buck the trend

Because I use mine constantly, in fact I have to prise it out of my wife's hands.

I use my 3g phone...... Ok, it's an iPhone, but I'm not a fanboi honest! To give me the same service as a 3g ipad!

Truth be told, I'm kicking myself for not getting one with larger storage.

Garbidge in, Garbidge out

Wow, I must be unusual, because I have two IT degrees and I'm training to be a teacher. Funny that, because everyone else on my PGCE teacher training also had IT degrees!

And why not teach students to make apps for iphone; because Apple charges a small fortune, and you can only do it on an expensive Mac computer.

It's not a good policy, and there isn't the funding either. These are more "real" reasons why.

Also, how can students learn to program without being administrators of the computer, and the last thing you want is a bunch of 15 year old boys with administrator level rights!!!

Delivery

30 minutes or it's free right?

Stick it to the man!!

Nice to see someone stick it to Apple, but don't forget Playboy did this 1st!

and wait for......

drop box app on iOS to suddenly infringe apples terms and conditions!

Do you remember.....

That guy that got an AR tattoo, I bet he feels a right tit now, mainly because he is a right tit though!

I can't see!

Huum.....

A video about the iPad, that can't be viewed on the iPad....

It's not about the numbers.....

It's about the desirability.

Sell less, and they become more valuable (look at the Wii, the VW Beetle and the BMW Mini when they 1st came out).

Next time you make / renew a product, you're going to have muppets queueing round the corner salivating like flesh hungry zombies.

You "claim" a shortage, and two days later more limited numbers arrive in store.

You sell shed loads, people think they're desirable, because they are "rare", but the stock flies out the store quicker that if there were thousands available in store, and no-one felt that they would be left out.

It's the economics of idiots. Treat someone like an idiot, but put an apple logo on it, and they will behave like idiots and fall for this vulgar marketing ploy

SUPRISE

Hold on, two of the most corrupt nations on the planet, are awarded billion dollar contracts from one of the most corrupt organisations on the planet...... and no-one saw that coming???

Anti-Virus

All this is well and good, but I would have liked to see a guide to installing av on a Linux distro!

Volume Licensing

We have a schools volume licence for 70 computers

Suddenly MS have given us 350 32bit and 350 64bit licenses.

Therefore we have 700 instances of Windows 7 that we have NOT deployed.

Whats the betting the we're part of the sales figures!

Dry Stone Walling

is still massively popular here in the Lake District!

Why do you need a keyboard in the first place

Touch typists... on the iphone? Surely it misses the point of an iphone as a basic internet tool. Your not going to be producing large word documents on a phone!

At Last

He's BACK!!!

Serves 'em right

for buying apple!

Why paris, because she's a dumb vacuous blonde trying to be achingly fashionable, but NOT that dumb / vacuous blonde and fashionable that she'd buy into this crap!

ZX80 anyone

I think Sir Clive Sinclair should sue over the design. It's white, so no doubt Apple will be claiming rights on it too!

Sorry to be perdantic but....

should the the line that reads "£4 per megabyte" be "£4 per megabit"???

XBOX anyone?

Thank goodness I have a 360, which has the rewards and in game messenging built in.

AND

A 3 year warantee as standard

ONLY 5000 per store???

How many jesus phones are O2 expecting to ship?

I'll be the one.........

Morris dancing outside

or not!

IPv6

This problem is going to be made a hell of a lot worse when IPv6 is the standard!

Time for a radical re-think me-thinks!

Paris would know the answer!

Bargin Flight

If she was willing to pay £180 for a flight from Bristol then:

(1) The Bristol flight was damn cheap

(2) She's a complete donkey for not wanting to use the train

(3) She had it coming

You'll all be watching this film.....

Having downloaded it from an encrypted p2p site!

Lets face if, Hollywood complains that everyone is downloading their movies so they are losing money....

In reality... who'd pay to watch this rubbish???

Next in the sequel, John Connor is joined by Rambo (not the French philosopher)

I'll be back......

Jeff

Whats the betting that Jeff spoke with a Yorkshire twang?

Remove this book!

I had the misfortune / stupidity to buy "Greetings in Jesus Name!: The Scambaiter Letters"

Do yourself a favour and avoid like the plague.

The author is a right self satisfied twit, who has that sense of moral high ground exemplified in the dimwits who want to bring the country to a standstill with fuel protests.

Scam baiting should be left to law enforcement... or even to El Reg, not self appointed, smug git!

The stories aren't even amusing, I stopped reading after the author had made a young lad get a tattoo, was being SERIOUSLY threatened by the tattoist who wanted paying.

the lad wasn't even scamming, he'd asked for money, not tried to do a 419 scam!

In the end, I came away with the impression that the real loser was the author.
