Brits say 'no, no, no' to 3D TV

poor pricing

Judge rejects Accenture appeal against £182m lawsuit

i left 'em

'cos they were incapable of providing any degree of useful customer service. The systems being poor does not account for the abilities of the people on the phones transferring you to incorrect departments and not knowing the first thing about anything you had mentioned on the previous call, and being mahoosively unwilling to help in any way whatsoever..

/rant.. with apologies..

i would be rather amused to find the spec for the systems presented for implementation were entirely divorced from the expectation they had of the function/product sold..

Facebook boss admits privacy 'errors' and promises revamp

it's not you

this is part of their recycling policy.. by using the same bollocks twice, it's doubled the efficiency of the first use. while it's the law of diminishing returns.. i guess it'll be good for another few uses.. after all.. i still get reallllly old mails from people who have their own personal info wavefront set to 1995.. like the one with the air vents on the back of the house in wales..

Fedora 13 - Ubuntu's smart but less attractive cousin

kubuntu beta

seems to run fine on my old vaio lappy. have got to look into why it's not playing movies : it just fails horribly when i try to load them... that said, I'm a Linux n00b who could do with investigating it some more as to why, but doesn't know exactly where to look.. but it's mostly working the way I'd expect. And, yes, it's prettier than the brown ver.

and there's always the GF's laptop with 7 on it if i can't sort the avi codecs etc out.. :)
