Mozilla glares at Microsoft, chews on Direct2D graphics cud

Firefox 3.7, where's 3.6?

Shouldn't they concentrate on getting the next version done and finished before starting on the one after?

Coming up in version 10.8: thought processing power. Briiiiliant! I can't wait!

HTC HD2 Windows Mobile smartphone

£550? really?

Do you really need all these gubbins? How many word documents have you written on your phone? Do we really need facebook to follow us round on the train or when you're on the bog? How many times have you taken it abroad? Do you really need an app for that?

About 1% of the phones owners will use its advanced features, the rest of us will be relieved for 550 of our hard earned quids to look cool for 6 months until the next 'must have' gadget comes out to supersede it. A plain old dog & bone does everything I need and I'm sick of being sold lifestlye fillers I don't need or particularly want. This won't enrich my life in any way, shape or form, bah humbug!

Microsoft unleashes Silverlight 4 beta

WTF?

What the flip is Sliverlight anyway? It keeps popping up on the Windows update thing, I keep ignoring it, my internet and everything keeps on working

So why should I install it?

M$ say it's for a rich multimedia web experience (or some other BS), Youtube works, internet radio works, what huge part of the internet am I missing out on by not installing Silverlight?

Hackers in keyless Windows 7 entry

What do you expect?

Well if M$ are going to leave holes like this in Windows then people will exploit them

Redundancy costs dent BT profits

How come

Where is all their money going? Every time you ring up with a problem they say they will charge £120 for an 'engineer' to come out. This is a lot of £120s for not a lot of work so where's it all gone?

Google search primed for 'Caffeine' injection

Why?

I ran a search on google just now and I got 9,380,000 results in 0.19 seconds. Why on earth would they want to spend money to bring that time down? The page took longer than 0.19 seconds to load and at this time in the morning my brain took a lot longer to process what I was seeing.

Although, I am so excited the day will be coming I will finally be able to run a sub 0.18 second search, my life will be so much easier and more efficient

Wikileaks publishes BNP 'member list' (again)

Why so scared?

The time to stand up and be counted has arrived for party members. If you don't want your name on the list, don't support the party - simples.

What have they got to be afraid of? Would Labour, Lib Dem or Tory party members not like their details being leaked? ... No, because their parties are not fuelled by racist, hate filled bile barfed up for the tabloid reading masses to lap up under the thin veil of politics. Primary school teachers won't be looked down upon in the same way for supporting the Lib Dems. If the BNP party members genuinely hold their views so strongly they donate to the party then they won't mind who knows what party they support.

iPhone voted UK's 'coolest brand'

UK's coolest brands aren't UKish?

Aston Martin is owned by Ford, Apple is more American than George Dubbya himself, B&O is Danish, Nintendo is Japanese ....

I suppose we can claim No 12, 18 and 20
