Google, Amazon, Starbucks are 'immoral' and 'ridiculous' over UK tax

Duty, not tax

Time for the government to introduce duty on the production of said coffees at a local level. If it works with booze & fuel, it will work with phonecalls, searches & caffinated brews. Removes the vat manipulation & fraud.

Why lock your digits to a phone? Telefonica to flog cloudy numbers

hmmm

no different to what hitoori were doing via their hosted number service 20 years ago. both mobile and landline would ring, time set diverts, txt activated diverts to where ever nearest landline was, and voice mail straight to email. Are they that desperate for R&D cash to re-launch failed ventures of the past onto the cloud to fail again. :/

BT Fusion ?

BT offered 3 times your allowance if you were in the vicinity of a home hub / fon / openzone hotspot.

Alas, shity handset & wifi chewing thru your battery & the inabiliy to get realtime call allowance checks as the x3 multiplier couldnt be verified ... and a clear drop off between wifi & cellular made it a crappy white elephant in my experience.

Sony distribution centre engulfed by fire

Jobs?

Regardless that it was *Spit* Sonys depo, 750 people until last night worked there.

Apple eyeing Hulu acquisition, insiders say

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Why would they need a divi from the shares?

Have you seen the increase in value over the last 2 years? ... Makes for a portfolio busting return.

Depressed Scottish file-sharing nurse gets 3 yrs probation

£54k my arse!

I dont know where they got their figures from.

I have 17,000 genuine karaoke tracks on 1200 discs, and it has cost me the princely sum of £3900.

Scots and pilots brace against ID cards

Haha, no card for the jocks as they have a Government

11 Any move for production of an ID card to be a condition of a public service which is within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament would require authorisation by an Act of the Scottish Parliament.

The act says if the scots dont want it, they dont pass the act !

Scottish Government to block wind farm plan

Why is someone always rattling the can about Scotlands healthcare bill?

Revenue raised by UK taxes. Total government receipts are forecast to be £516.4 billion in 2006–07

Scotland gets £8,623 per head (Barnett formula)

Scottish Population 5,062,011

PER HEAD x POPULATION = £43 billion pounds to run the country

SCOTLAND IS BEING SHORT CHANGED BY £23BILLION PER YEAR

WHO IS SUBSIDISING WHO?????????????
