New mega offshore windfarms could supply 2% of UK energy

F**K OFF Eco mentalists

I'm sick and tired of all this Green energy crap. It's going to cost me more so I don't want it. Just build some damn Nuclear power plants and be done with it, they're as green as they come!!

Peugeot designs Hybrid4 concept coupé

It's French

It will just break down after 5 miles. On the plus side it does have a distinct hint of Aston Martin in it, but alas it is still a Pug and therefore over priced tat.

Yank walks plank over Liverpool fan email

Haha

Genius email reply! And yes it's only football so who gives a crap! Bunch of over paid wingy idiots running around doing very little.

Ion add-on to equip iPhone with full Qwerty keyboard

Erm...

Oookaaay then. Are we in April yet?

Paramount prepares to scale Dune

Dubious

I'll not pass judgement just yet but I'm not holding my breath.

Roboplane tech can deal with air-traffic control directly

SkyNet

Roll on SkyNET...

LG GM750

Meh

Meh. That's all.

5-megapix 'iPhone 4' set for June?

What year?

What a joke, again just highlights how far behind the IdiotPhone is vs. the competition. And goes to show how stupid the buyers are for taking that kind of arrogance from Apple. Now the new Google phone looks a damn sight more impressive, however neither have keyboards, so are just toys.

LG GD510 Pop

BORED!

Yet another "snazzy" looking touch screen phone. I don't see the point either buy an HTC HD2 for a massive high end touch screen interface or a Blackberry for top notch keyboard. You could buy an iPhone but then you'd have bought an iPhone and that just wouldn't be a good thing.

My hospital HAL - Google man moots syringe that says no

Clouds

I'd still be fine with Google or the big M looking after my data, a damn sight more secure than El Gov! It still annoys the hell out of me when you move and register with the doctors who ask who your last doctor was - I don't bloody know, I don't see my doctor every other week! They really should be able to key in my name/NI/DoB whatever and just have access. Down with paper.

Google 'open' memo betrays deep corporate delusion

numpty

He looks like a royal tit! Idiot.

Apple angling to transform TV?

Won't be cheap

The problem they will have is if the price for X channels you want is say £5~£10 a month less compared to having over 300 to pick from, you may not watch them all the time but it is nice to know they are there. Unless of course every channel is pay per view and thus you do have access to all 300+ and just pay for what you watch... But being Apple they'll just assume they can charge more and the fan loyal will cough up.

Ferry giant refuses ID card

What did they expect?

Agree with the comments about idiots who sign up for these things trusting people to be able to do their jobs. As the saying goes "People are Idiots".

Can anyone explain the chunnel fiasco?

No surprises then!

None of this surprises me in the slightest, lack of proper scenario testing and consideration is far to prominent, especially considering how many "consultants" are being used these days! I'll stick to a boat where I can walk around and get drunk.

Oz anti-censorship site is censored

Prison?

I see the Prison Warden has struck again!

Japan falls for the iPhone

Why the hype??

I'm too getting sick and tired of every "phone" article ranting on about the CrapPhone. It's an overpriced, locked down, limited slab of junk. It just happens to be marketed very well, which isn't hard when the audience is, lets face it, less than able to think on their own.

Also, I'm getting more and more annoyed at how many articles all over the press are based on weak or very limited data sets.

Atlantis astronaut flying high over baby's birth

Reverse Charges

Who paid for the call then? I wonder if it's cheaper to call the ISS than the other side of the world...

Apple cult leader emails outside world

Brief!

Classic. I say change the software to brick all the hardware thus creating a huge warranty push for Apple. Oh and yet another good reason to never use Apple tech.

Macs not all that for reliability

Title seems correct

I think the title is bang on. Have you ever seen an Apple laptop for anything like as cheap as an HP, Dell etc... based on the huge cost of the Apple kit it should be ultra reliable by a good margin, instead Sony beat them (and they're hardly cheap!). So from a cost vs. reliability level Apple are last by an absolute mile.

On another note I'm surprised it's not higher for Macs since some non-mac users can probably fix their laptops instead of sitting looking smug but having NO idea how a computer works... <ducks for cover>.

Americans promised all you can eat Twittering for $99

Erm...

Money for old rope me thinks.

Fanbois howl over data-munching Snow Leopard bug

Ouch!

Looks like someone doesn't know what a partition is or never to keep anything important on the main partition! I keep all of my files on separate drives/partitions so that if Windows does bomb I just format and loose nothing. Maybe that's because I know how to use a computer and don't just go for shinny looking objects (based on said 250gb users English I feel this assumption is fair).

Microsoft's Office Web Apps - a long way from here

Does it work?

Well so long as it actually work because Google's attempt is quite frankly terrible, it's slow and seriously lacking in features.

Apple sends iPhones into 'Coma Mode'

Pahahahahaha!

Pahahahahaha! That's what you get for buying a bloody Apple product with all its locked downess! You wouldn't get that with a Windows phone, any problems, just install a different version. And if the phone was from other manufacturers it wouldn't need updating every month as it would work properly and have a full feature set from the off... I'll leave it there.

James Martin apologises for cyclist outrage

Spot on!

Not one thing he said was incorrect and the fact it's caused so much outrage proves his point! Sod taking the comment back, it's not like they'd be watching his TV show anyway, it's on far too late in the morning for those health nuts to be lounging around relaxing.

Boffins: Give up on CO₂ cuts, only geoengineering can work

Did I miss something?

What's wrong with a load of Nuclear power plants? That's as green as it gets and creates a load of jobs while it's being built (which last time I checked el Gov was rather keen to do). Then we can kick back with our cool BMW hybrids (not a crappy Prius) and all the eco nuts can get a new hobby, ideally away from me!

How much of the EU's data will the UK lose?

Erm...?

I thought it had been agreed we were just going to pay Google or Microsoft to deal with all the UKs data, can't be any worse and you can actually go after a company if they f**k up.

Sony snubs Microsoft in Google Chrome browser deal

EU Rules

Didn't Microsoft just get a huge penalty for doing basically this? Or did I miss something...

Also, I always nuke any new laptop/computer for relatives as the amount of crap is unreal. Self build all the way.

Is Apple plotting a search of its own?

Erm...

Based on Apple's track record the search engine would initially do very little then every year for about 4 years would get more and more functionality until it finally caught up with the rest of the world. It also wouldn't surprise me if they charged for the use of it either!
