French handbag eBay over fakes

sarah bee

you are a woman,

you are critising designer handbags,

you are clearly lying..

next you'll be saying that jimmy choos are rubbish.

don't try and distract us with all that 'nice weather' chat....

;)

and so it begins....

surely this is going to go and on for ebay, they continue to allow fake tat to be sold (can they even stop it?) so more and more companies are going to try and hang them out to dry - fair enough really.

eBay told to stop forcing Aussies to use PayPal

Go Aussies!

well done oz folk, keep pushing this and maybe the rest of the competition 'regulators' will take notice.

it is blatantly unfair, when one company gets 2 commision payments from you, and they abuse their dominance. is ebay going to implode one day?

lets keep pushing this one folks..

Microsoft's own chip design blamed for Xbox 360 RRoD

GTA 4

Afghan cellco accuses rivals of funding Taliban

a letter from the taliban?

i'd flog that on ebay...great, they're so polite, the mafia used to trash the place first then ask for protection money.

and the FT spoke to a taliban representative? what, they just rang them up? i thought the US/UK/AN other suckers were supposed to be destroying these morons, yet the FT just rang them up after borrowing someones letter?

do they use Word templates for their letterheads, or have they gone openoffice now?

Apple's Snow Leopard to cut the bloat from Mac OS X

2 points

1. who gives a shit about hard drive space these days?

2. apple, i love you, but for gods sake sort quicktime out - it's a pain in the arse and cannot handle a bloody thing, and mr pc owner hates it. Ex-quicktime would be better.

3. just don't install the languages in the first place-easy.

4. i'm a mac powerpc owner, but we all have to move on at some point (to a newer mac i must add-not that microsoft gubbins)

5. new iphone needs to be PAYG

6. obama for president

thats 6 points.

Asus floors it with Lamborghini laptop revamp

err styling...?

couldn't they have done something with the styling on this thing? something a little different, or eyecatching..that keyboard layout is as bland as the cheapest acer laptop...the cheap acer laptop that's had a yellow case shoved on...

oh..i see...

Phoenix chokes on 'clumpy' Martian soil

BigTrack would have done better..

just a bit of programming with his little wheeled trolley on the back and Bigtrack would have shovelled up HUGE lumps of red clay and brought them back to the NASA kitchen!

And he would have avoided the alien dog AND martian granny who's asleep after a whopping great martian dinner!

Don't even begin to think what 'Simon Says' would have done on this mission...

Asus quietly demos Eee Box

is that wood?

Ofcom slaps MTV with £255k fine

Amazing - Kids still watch MTV?

hilarious, although if we have a watershed, it should be stuck to, 'fuck' & 'motherfuck' etc are a bit much before 9pm aren't they?

Yahoo! bitchslapped Ballmer's $40 a share offer

so he told m$ to piss off...so what?

he started the company and he doesn't want it to be controlled by M$, yes, his heart ruled, so bloody what? maybe more heart and soul is needed in the industry and not just cash grabbing faceless wonders, like mr gates for example.

The economy: A big Arab did it and ran away, claims PM

petrol price high is good, it's the rest that's the problem

if you look at the whole situation, the high price of petrol is quite a good thing really (but £1.25 for diesel is a piss take - get them both around £1.10) BUT the problem, as usual for UK consumers, is EVERYTHING ELSE IS TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE! electric, gas, water, council tax is too much.

my ideal situation - get petrol/diesel down 10%, other taxes/bils down 20%

sorted.

ish.

Microsoft Office chief to manage Bill Gates

tax

alan - because a 'few million' is exactly that - a lot of money.

do some research on this, St. Bill 'entertain a crowd' Gates is a shrewd 'investor' in his money.

why does someone need to set up a public foundation with all his cash? why not do it anonymously? it's a real 'look at me, being really generous with my cash' while microsoft themselves are NOT reducing in equalities in the US or around the world are they?
