Fifa, Uefa lose free-to-view footie challenge

Great news

I heartily endorse this event/product.

One in the eye to Murdoch.

Side note... is it possible to have a Murdoch Halo/Horns options??

Beeb reinstates teaboy in Pestogate scandal

All this BBC baiting...

All this BBC baiting puts El Reg on the same side of the coin as all of Murdoch's outlets and The Daily Mail.

A strange Ménage à trois. I think we'd know who be the submissive in that arrangement.

Mutated genetic supertrout developed in lab

Tip for the subs

NB: There is a breed of cattle called 'Belgian Blue', nothing new in its genetics. The actual cow doesn't have to come from Belgium; similar to Charolais , Jersey or Friesian cows, its just the area when they originated.

"In all fairness not everyone is techno-savy."

But surely literate enough to read small print?

Customer FAIL.

Apple opens the iPhone to lotteries

Bookmakers

This will hardly open up the door to bookmakers, considering the US Laws on gambling.

A Paddy Power or Ladbrokes app would be sweet.

Dallas cops fine drivers for 'not speaking English'

Cop almost hit the target

If she can't speak English, or Texan for that matter, then presumably she might not be able to read English. She might be at a loss for understanding traffic signs. Therefore, a danger to other road users etc etc.

But as the arresting officer was a thick as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, then fail.

Apple iPod Shuffle 3G

Shortcoming

The volume controls on the ear phones is one reason why I'll stick with my 2nd gen shuffle.

I use a FM transmitter and my old shuffle in car, and its perfect for the job. I can easily flick to the next track whist not distracted by a display.

No reason for me to upgrade then.

In general, this years crop of ipods reeks of fail.

Vodafone joins the iPhone throng

"but those customers will be loyal to Apple, not Vodafone or Orange"

Erm. Two reasons why I didn't get the iphone before...

1. Vodafone is reception king in quite a lot of places in Ireland.

2. All of my family are on Vodafone, and with their PAYG where you can get free Vodafone-Vodafone calls and texts for topping up buy 20 euro a month, its a no brainer to stay. Other networks here might have similar or cheaper offers, but coupled with point 1, its a winner.

Apple might think that they are going to build customer loyalty, but you have to start getting customers to build loyalty. That's why they're breaking away from O2, because it has reached its sales limits. Anyone on O2 who wants an iphone has one. But for me, as ready explained, knowing that the iphone is there is welcome news.

Evil Steve, because he is.

RIP tennis gal's DD jubs

Reminds me...

Last weekend after winning Wimbledon, Serena Williams had a t-shirt on saying ‘Are You Looking At My Titles?'

If Brunel were alive today, he'd be designing sports bras.

Steve Jobs had liver transplant

Just checked...

Just checked the app store, the only donor apps I can see are for recipes for kebabs.

Get well soon, Steve. If it weren't for him or his company, tech life would be worse off.

BBC zombie caper slammed by security pros

Enough of this crap....

In the past, when crime journalism was to the fore of the tabloids and the broadsheets, (before it went all celeb shite) was it ok back then for them to pay bribes and give back handers to the cops?

Sometimes, you got to break the law to highlight the crime. It's called investigative journalism.

El Reg turning into Daily Mail with faux outrage and its petty battles with the Beeb. Please. You are embarrassing yourself.
