Or like BBC online where we're 'allowed' to comment on the Chelsea Flower Show but not on the unlawful imprisonment, the miscarriage of justice of Sam Hallam.

David Willetts told assembled IT bods in London that companies should 'fess up to their security boobs.'

They could get into ballooning.
They could get into trains.
They could get into airways.
They could get into speedboats.
They could get into supply of telecoms ...
OR ...
They could just carry on doing what they do well.

If the Kindle Fire is not improved from the US version then iPads have nothing to fear.

"The dollar price is the same as the euro price, by the way."
So, they're using Apple's retail calculator, then.
Still, it costs more to do business in the UK as Steve said.

But what if they 'mislaid' a list of coppers with convictions for fraud, GBH etc.,?
Oh no, it wouldn't happen of course. They couldn't all fit on a stick or at least crash the servers. Still, when G4grabbit runs the shop all will be well.

Will we have a Dixon's/Curry's experience? I doubt it as Mac boxes tend not to have information about their contents.
It's the law ... for some!
So, Sophie Scholl of the White Rose, the 21 years old student was RIGHTLY guillotined by the Nazis for distributing a leaflet announcing that the ‘day of reckoning’ had arrived for ‘Adolf Hitler, the most contemptible tyrant our people has ever endured’.
She was convicted of treason. It was the law at the time. She pleaded guilty.

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!
Apple are known for employing people and NOT TELLING THEM where they'll be working. Browett will actually be Senior Vice President of glazing for their new spaceship headquarters. He may yet get to work on the car park.
Bent coppa
He'll be forced to join the other bent coppas. You know, the ones convicted of fraud, gbh etc., so welcome now in Her Majesty's Constabulary.

Why not issue them with PlayBooks? At least they could use them to hit (sorry, placate) offenders as they fall down the steps.

"Windows geeks bringing up the rear"
So, Windows geeks are gay, huh?
I, too, saw what you did there.
Anyway, the Romans did it and look what happened to them!

Never!
Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
Murdoch?
Mudroach supports SOPA.
Therefore SOPA is bad.
Easy!
Dentistry
“We are adding balance,” said Dr. Don McLeroy, the leader of the majority conservative faction on the Texas Board of Education and a dentist by trade ..."
A dentist, huh? So was Bashir (Basher} Assad, President of Syria and Regional Secretary of the Ba'ath Party.
Like McLeroy, he should have stuck to dentistry instead of assassination.

Compare:
£2,000,000 paid by NewsCorp to Millie's family for distress
£6,000,000 paid to Rebekkah Wade (Or whatever she calls herself now) for knowing nothing about the phone hacking and having to resign (weep,weep).
Come on ...
If the NHS changed software vendor, the nurses would have to relearn how to look at their holiday and party pictures at the Nursing Station.

So British Gas are REDUCING tariff prices due to cheaper shale gas.
What do you mean they're not ...?

Actually, she looks as though she should be in one of their shops ... as a Halloween gift!
So, Mudroach pays out two or three million to the Dowlers and a charity.
Compare that with the Millions paid to Rebekkah Brooks (or whatever she calls herself now) for being fired for incompetence.
Seems like a bargain!

Strange!
I wonder what the CEO of DSGi is paid. I'll bet it's more than the boss of John Lewis.

Oh, do get with it.
The iPhone has been called the 'Jesus Phone' for years now, just as the iPad is a 'Fondle Slab'. We cultists don't slam our coffee (or Kool Aid) down to vent our rage, we just look upon another saddo wanting to troll his/her way to acceptance of some crap or other.

Didn't she collect over 40 million from her last but one employer?
She doesn't know when to stop!

Haven't you worked it out yet?
The UK is in a recession. That's why prices have to go UP so we can solve the US recession and that's why Apple have UPped their prices and why the likes of Tesco and M&S have announced BIGGER profits!
Or are we just being ripped off again, as usual?

You still haven't got it, have you?
The Apple Marketing people may give you your buzzwords like ... innovative, magical et al. Believe them or not, just as you will; but what Apple ARE good at is taking a design or concept (often someone else's) and making it work for most folk.
Take the iPad for example ... it is NOT a full blown computer but it does what many people want. It scans the web, does email, does photos, gives a bit of fun and does a bit of music ... in other words, it does what many, many people want. And it does it well.
Take the iPod ... Sony could have had the whole music thing sorted but they didn't, Apple came along and wiped the floor with them. Why? Because they provided people with WHAT THEY WANT. Apple don't provide geeky stuff which is difficult they provide something which generally works well, does what people want and looks good.
Just look at their stores ... I can go into my local Apple Store and, if I want, check my emails, mess about with Photobooth and even check price comparisons. I can do what I WANT and not have some spotty yoof (who doesn't even know his products) tell me what to think and what to buy. Some firms are actually catching on.
Apple DO have a walled garden. Apple are control freaks wanting you to buy from them and use their products but ... and this is what you don't get ... IT WORKS for most of us. I really don't care whether it's better than the competition ... it's good enough and it works ... FOR ME!

"and fined them £20,000 each ..."

He's right, you know.
Yes. I worked it out on the calculator on my iPad (apple). I shouldn't have pressed the plus sign.
£157 is correct.
Apple are thieving Bastards!
