Re: BT

Exactly the same experience at the BBC. A thriving organisation (when I joined in the 80s) was utterly destroyed with the arrival of John Birt (darling of the tories) filling it with accountants and consultants ... followed rapidly a ridiculous internal market and everything being monetised ...

I’m at a loss as to how anyone thinks this way of running companies actually does any good . It always seems to destroy so much , apart from line the pockets of a few .

The BBC is a husk now and costs even more to run than it did before they started .... well done bean counters !

Utter BS story.

So obvious that something else was afoot.

iPhone 8 now outsells X, and every other phone

telecine

We’ve been here before

The release of the Xphone reminded me strongly of the release of the dreadful 20th anniversary Mac. Basically a lower end Mac dolled up to be more futuristic, but basically nothing new. A symbol of a company that had totally lost its way (Gil Amelio was boss at the time).

Steve Jobs returned, released the iMac and stopped the rot ...

Unfortunately he’s dead .

Major achievements for our current bespectacled boss are...

1. Removing headphone jack . ( a truly idodic decision).

2. Totally turning back on pro market ( though this was decided a decade ago ).

3. Making money ( very good at that).

‘ You’re coldlng it wrong .’

Almost as funny as buying a 1000 pound device that doesn’t work in the cold ...

What's losing steam at Apple? Pretty much everything

telecine

Yes ... History repeating itself.

As an Apple user since the II ... Witnessing the catastrophic management based disaster culminating in Gil Amelio < millions of shit variations of the same product and the death spiral to near bankruptcy > till his return and the iMac and all the followed..,. The writing is on the wall..

Tiscali TV's Italian cousin gets whacked

Thumb Down

Bag of Shite

So I was a very happy Homechoice customer for almost as long as the service existed.

Then Tiscali bought the operation and it feel apart...

I personally had no TV service at all for two months as a result of 'upgrades' then followed by the new STB and utterly shit modem combination which was as stable as a dog stading on it's hind legs whilst balancing several revolving plates on its nose with a tazer up its arse!

To compound matters the customer service totally fell apart...

I know I am in a HUGE silent majority of Homechoice customers who got screwed. It went from been a very good service to a very shit one.

Thank god I left!

404 Correction

NO!

404 is the internets way of telling you to F**k Off.

The common use of 404 as far as I and my colleagues are concerned is F**k Off.

p.s. Paris ... cos she likes to 404
