You realise that the PSTN network is being killed off in 2025 right?! (well that's the plan anyway)

Hold your horses fella, that's only beacuse no high-end camera has been ready to release this year. Just around the corner we've got the Canon 1dx (£5,300 - Body Only) and after that we're expecting the 5D mk III (Guessing about £2,000 - Body Only)...
Nikon will no doubt be ready to pounce with there big boys too!

Here comes the Bride...
Brilliant article...
As a Wedding Photographer I've been waiting for what seems like an age for the updates to the 1D & 5D lines. Now that the 1Dx is here it looks like they've addressed a huge number of areas brilliantly. Just a shame it's not practical for Weddings!
Lets hope the 5Dx (or whatever they'll call it) gets updated in the same manner.
Oh, and it's SO good that they've decided to concentrate on ISO performance rather than Megapixel increases...

Mag bitchslapped in Duchess Kate digi-slimming case
Tuesday 16th August 2011 09:27 GMT
As a TOG...
...and looking at the before and after, I reckon the Mag's telling the truth.
Often finding myself removing people, random legs/arms and stuff like this happens. If her righthand side (as you look at the pic) wasn't so slim itself, this wouldn't have happened! They would have had to spend time actually fattening her up to compensate!!!

Damn Good...
I was in a BestBuy UK store (yes, I know. I'm sorry) with the OutLaw and we were offered a listen of the Beats Ipod speaker dock. It was phenomenal, and slightly better sound than Bose systems.
The one and only thing thank swayed us back to the portable Bose iPod dock was that the Beats dock looked like it should be in a 16 year olds bedroom rather than a 60 odd year old's lounge - the mother-in-law would've shot him if he'd have gone home with it!

US plan to hold EU passenger data for 15 yrs 'unlawful'

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
"A leaked document from an EU meeting last week showed that France, Germany, Italy, Holland and others are opposed to the proposed deal with the UK, Ireland, Sweden and Estonia the only countries backing it"...
May I be the first to slap our sensible European friends on the back in congratulations for standing up to the US, whilst we bend over and pick up the soap!...

Completed with just 10p
I can just remember those Saturday mornings after Swimming... Searching for 10p's some unluckly fools had left in their lockers, only for me and a friend to spend them wisely on Golden Axe.
That one special morning where we completed it with only one 10pence each... Wow.

Tesco's iPhone app gets barcode reader
Tuesday 26th October 2010 16:56 GMT
Old News...
It's had this for ages... I know because I used it and it was flippin handy.
Away for a long weekend with the Mrs and kids. The Mrs wanted special wipes for the kid's bum (sensitive skin and all that stuff) as we'd run out....
Scanned barcode on packaging, then app told me exactly where in the store it was and how much it'll cost.
Made it easy to dash in and get out.
A* from me!

O2 to step back from unlimited mobile data deals

Bugger!
I knew the fair cap was 250mb per month but thought I'd never got near it even though I hammer my 3G...
Just checked my online bills and iPhone usage stats (under Settings > General > Usage) and found that I've used 8.5Gb over the last 13months!!!!!!
Averaging at 800Mb a month this has really pee'd me off! Looks like they'll less "Specialist Browsing" in future!...
Paris, because we all know she receives plenty of Specialist Browsing!...

MMMmmmmmm, so come on, what's your weakness? An expensive bottle of wine at the weekend or maybe an expensive gadget or two?
Just because one man treats himself to a sports car after possibly many years hard work you want to criticise?!!!!
Why don't people in this contry put people down when they've done well?
Brits still getting bull from broadband providers
Tuesday 30th March 2010 08:07 GMT
Outlaws
After being with TalkTalk for years now I thought I'd suggest to the Outlaws that they signed up with them too after the Father-in-law said he wanted internet...
Onto the TalkTalk website, and you obviously had to type in your existing landland number and postcode, STRAIGHT away it said it'll cost £18.48 all in and the expected speed of the line would be 2.1MB/s.
After install and a bit of time to bed in, it's bang on 2.1MB/s, why can't all ISPs be this open?!
BT ordered to share telegraph poles for fast broadband

Errr... How about...
"it believes it is commercially viable to improve internet access for about two thirds of the country, and called for government help to go further."
The one's in rural Britian pay for it themselves! They don't moan when we get Gas piped to our houses and they have to have it delivered...
You want Superfast broadband? Move somewhere that'll get it then!

Tesco iPhone priced, dated

My iPhone 3G on O2=
What I get...
Mins 600 x 15p (Average on Tesco) = £90
Texts 500 x 7.5p (Average on Tesco) = £37.5
Tarriff allowance would cost £127.50 on O2!!!
But, when you look at what I use...
Mins 200 x 15p (Average on Tesco) = £30
Texts 600 x 7.5p (Average on Tesco) = £45
Tesco Allowance = £60 for £20 charge, add on the difference (& the cost of the phone averaged out over two years to make it fair! (£9.25))...
So Tesco would charge me £44.25 pounds for what currently costs me £40/£45...
Yeah right, every little helps!

AT&T to choke your iPhone

World's Apart!
How come, when Orange, Vodafone and Tesco started punting the iPhone in good old Blighty people suddenly sat up and noticed a data limit...
Orange pointed out that their fair usage cap would be set at 750mb... Then continued to suggest that the European average usage per month was somewhere around 250mb.
I absolutley hammer my iPhone, constantly online with music, gaming and of course browsing. Never had a letter or call to discuss my usage! Don't our American friends ever put theirs down?

Huummm... As a 30 year old shouldn't really admit to playing games all day, but.... iMobsters is a quality, real time game which is highly addictive, but get this.... It's FREE.
If they want my number they can have it, maybe they shouldv'e asked, but I've been playing for a while and never had on strange tele-marketing call once.
Ever get the thought "Oh, I'm American, I'll sue!" springing to mind?!
