Apple's iPhone numbers do not add up

Version 2?

I wonder how many potential buyers are waiting for Version 2? I know I'm not interested in V1, but I'm ready to consider V2.

If Greg is right about Q1 and Q2 projected sales, then that represents a pretty steep drop. Apple can't ignore that, so it tells me that they need to come out with V2 long before June if they want to maintain sales momentum.

People seem to be complaining about the slow pace of firmware updates for V1. That's another clue that Apple had moved on and is focusing resources on V2.

When they run out of good ones, they will.

El Reg seeks ultimate 'nom de sex'

Re: Surely someone must have lived here?

My God, you could found an entire industry in the area of that map! Zoom out a level, and you'll find such potential surnames as 'Bedwell', 'Longwood', 'Woodcock',

and of course, 'Cucumber'. Supporting roles could go to 'Wildhill' and 'Hornbeam'.

Hopefully, the above-referenced 'Floppsy Wankard' didn't also grow up on Cucumber Road.

Chilean scientists crack lost lake mystery

Re: London Buses

If I've got this right, the lake drained through one hole.

So the question is not how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall, but how many Albert Halls can be filled with one hole.

When can we look forward to a definitive answer?

Bombs in context

"Something happens and the American womans first reaction is 'BOMB IT!!!!'"

Of course, the woman is referring to what we Americans call 'bug bomb', or insecticidal spray. We would never use actual bombs on our own homes, ha ha!

I would, however, caution other nations to not allow their spiders to crawl into our ears. I hope the Canadians are listening...

Enraged AC Milan fan eBays goalie Dida

"Football"?

"Netminder?!? I dont know if you noticed but this is an article on Football, therefore the term is "Goalkeeper", "'keeper" or "Goalie"."

You must be nuts. This is an article on Soccer. Football doesn't have 'Netminders', 'Goalkeepers', 'keepers', or 'Goalies'.

Americanizations failing to penetrate eveywhere. I don't know...

Boffins brew up ideal Bond e-fit

Hoagy Carmichael?

"See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fleming007impression.jpg"

Looks to me more like Basil Fawlty than Hoagy Carmichael.

Now there's a Bond to dream about. If only they had dumped Roger Moore and picked up John Cleese...
