An iPhone with a keyboard?

Jobs Halo

@Ivan Headache

Try holding your finger on the word, you'll get a little magnifier which you can then just move the cursor by moving your finger right / left, and will do it letter by letter rather than word by word.

Unlocking

Yeah, I'm a current iPhone customer and I am gonna upgrade to the 3G version (despite it not being free on my lowly £35 a month contract!)

However, what I'm not happy about is that O2 are gonna unlock my v1 iphone, despite the fact that they will be cancelling my contract (so that I can take up anew 3g one) and I have paid full price for my phone.

O2 to offer £100 iPhone... in time for Xmas?

Different from Macworld

The report on macworld says different to this article. Is the register not capable of even taking someone else's article and re-wording it ?

Macworld says that O2 will offer the new iphone, and that NEW customers signing up to the highest package (£75 a month) will get a free Iphone.

CURRENT iphone customers will get a free upgrade if they renew their contract.

NEW customers not signing up to the highest package will pay £100. and O2 may offer it on PAYG for £269.

Google kills Anonymous AdSense account

WHY!?!?!?!

I don't understand why google would do this, in Adwords there is a feature under the "tools" section of any adwords campaign, the tool is called "Site and Category Exclusion" where you can "Refine your Google Network targeting by preventing individual websites or categories of web pages from showing your ads."

So why didn't scientology simply specify this website as a site not to show ads on, or more importantly why didn't Google advise the church of scientology to do this.

Can the register please look into this.

UK government websites out of control

Google Custom Search

The government are working with Google ?

Google's custom search, it takes about an hour to setup, granted if you wanted to heavily customise colours, etc then it may take longer, it also displays adsense (unless you pay £99). To be honest its quite a small fee, i'm sure the government could stretch to this.

The French

A french friend of mine, told me this joke.

Q: How many frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?

A: We don't know because we've never done it yet.

Proof that they do have a sense of humour after all?
