"lead the strategies we have in place to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world."

yeah, like having a monoploy on the OS/media player/business suite apps market.....then appealing again and again against the EU when it fines you.....piss off you self-righteous, double standards turds....where does all this foundation cash go anyway?

charity foundation or <cough>tax write off</cough>. i'm sure bill does a wonderful job and gets the warm welcome he received at live eight a couple of years ago.....

Stop

it's a computer....

it's made of plastics, and metals and runs on electric and is connected to a very warm screen, and internal bits stuff spins all the time....tough shit...thats technology for you....

i presume that greenpeace/ngo/enviro-fecking-smugtwat don't use computers (or macs for any of their designed literature)?, they just bang rocks together and make patterns in the sand with sharpened sticks....piss off and face reality....

ITV fined millions for phone fraud

"I'm an executive producer...get me out of here...."

Apple punts 'Penryn' iMacs

richard
Alert

list

list of macs i've had:

powermac 8200

imac dv400

g4 powerbook 1.25

ipod x2

let's list the problems i've had:

imac had firmware/screen fuck up - my fault for trying to upgrade to OSX without upgrading the firmware first.

powerbook power supply broken - the dog knocked it off the sofa onto the wood floor.

ipod 1- battery failure - unit unusable

ipod 2 - wouldn't start up, put new hard disc in, did all apple suggestions, didn't resolve so smashed it outside with a hammer.

therefore - ipods- built like shite.

macs - still good but, i have to admit, are not as well built as they used to be - a bit like mercedes'

thank you

Virgin taps Boeing for 787 compensation

richard

slightest risk is still a risk

" If there were the slightest risk of lives being put in danger they'd be grounded, simple as that."

it was grounded, and they had to use another plane, so there was a risk of lives being put at risk.

whether its the pump, relay, part of a relay...who cares, it ALL should work perfectly on a brand new plane.

The 'green' car tax grabs that don't add up

richard
Stop

yawn...

figures, shmiggers.....it's all bloody scaremongering as usual to excuse (feebly) hikes in taxes for the working man. as soon as china/india/random former ussr country start taking co2 seriously, then so will i.

when the government produces a serious public transport idea, i will listen.

stop going to war when the people don't want to - it's not making us any safer, the bloke who just ran down the heathrow runway could have caused a catastrophe, of course it's nothing to do with the war gordon.....

complete and utter bollocks the lot.

Infra-red cameras to tackle congestion in Leeds

richard
Stop

total crap

the car sharing idea's been around for years, how it's still being approved i really cannot comprehend. you are penalised for being the sole person in your car?! so i can drive a 4x4 with two people in but if i have a smart car with just me in i get fined, that's a better situation?!

i'm penalised because i don't know anybody else at work who lives near me? and i have to pick them up on a morning? and we'll have to leave work at the same time?

it really is one of the most bollocks strategies in years, why not make the lane into a bus lane?

how does this encourage people to use public transport?

-total confusion

Doctors back more tax on booze

richard
Jobs Halo

It's not about the Fooking PRICE!

2 points about this horseshit:

1. it's not the price, if a pint was £10 people would still get wasted because: they're so pissed off with life; sick of the asshole policies of the facist state; want to get 'more pissed' than their mates; actually enjoy it....

2. my girlfriend works for a major booze producer, we get it dead cheap and have cupboards full of the stuff - i don't drink a lot or get paraletic on weekdays/weekends because i can CONTROL MYSELF. i don't need bollox ideas/useless tax hikes from doctors/politicians who cannot sort the real problems out in the UK

3. maybe they need the cash to start more wars instead of listening to what the people of the UK actually want to see their taxes spent on

4. don't forget - the government get tax AND duty on booze, AND they tax a tanker of lager when it leaves the brewery AND when it's sold in a pint to you!

5. STOP TRYING TO CONTROL EVERY FOOKING THING WE DO you useless twats!!!!

6. that's 6 points, not 2
