Thank Freeview for UK 4G by mid-2013 - NOT the iPhone 5 nor EE

Wait!

Lets just get 3G right before we move on......

Google ditches the bits in the bottom of the box

For many years I have used igoogle everyday at home, at work and on holiday. It's my home page anywhere I can access the web, irrespective of brower.

My company does not allow Chrome and the hotel I visit in France next week may not either. Any alternative's?.... And I refuse to use google+

Apple lands slide-to-unlock patent blow on Motorola

skeuomorphic

@AC No problem, it's a skeuomorph. There are numerous others we could think of from the 'real' world.

Turning a key

Closing a pad-lock

Spinning a dial

etc etc etc

Just google 'lock mechansims' then do a quick sketch showing the 'virtual' representation, patent please :-)

Bug silences Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Sent it back already :-(

Galaxy Nexus delivered on Friday, sent back on Saturday!

@ 50% charge it shut itself down and refused to respond to any input.

Charged for another 2 hours and still no response.

Plug into laptop via USB and eventually got back to the front screen, still would not accept charge.

No ICS apps available and notifications were somewhat lacking.

Build quality left me doubting it would last the 24month contract.

Will stick with my current phone a while longer.

German lad hit by 30,000 mph meteorite

30,000mph?

Terminal Velocity of a pea sized meteor would be in the region of 130mph.

It may have entered the atmosphere at 30,000 mph but would be slowed by the viscousity of the surrounding air by the time it reached ground level.
