Almost...

... Megashark vs Giant Octoupus.

Put them all near motorways

Motorways already generate lots of noise pollution so just stick yer turbines near those.

On first day, Apple sells 50 Lions for every lion

WTB DVD Rom

Would much rather buy a DVD. Guess I'll get an itunes giftcard and buy from the app store eventually.

X-COM UFO: Enemy Unknown

Please enter a title

If he can touch type then he doesn't need to look at the screen or keyboard does he.

Who are the biggest electric car liars - the BBC, or Tesla Motors?

Road rail would be a good idea....

But the trains are already full.

The Girl with the NSObject Class Reference tattoo

Nice

Very funny.

Minister 'C*nt' promises £50m to get fabtastic fibre for all

50m is barely enough to cover one county let alone the whole country.

How I built a zero energy cost, zero carbon home server

Just plugging it into the wall would save most of the £1000 electricity bill

Plug the server into the wall for almost the same saving I'm guessing. No solar power needed.

Chumby internet-connected alarm clock

No BBC radio

..... makes it reasonably useless as a clock radio replacement.

Not convinced
