My TIGHT PANTS made my HUGE iPHONE go all BENDY!

Little Me

"prone to stress and bending when placed in tight spaces such as pants pockets"

keeping a phone in you pants is maybe going a little too far on the security front. Must have been a battle in there!

It was inevitable: Lenovo stumps up $2.3bn for IBM System x server biz

Time to shine :)

Assuming enough of the right people and teams get to move over, I expect the former IBM x86 world to really have a chance to shine now that it will be part of company that actually wants it.....oh and it does not have to worry about upsetting other parts of IBM....*cough* power

Smartphone-shot movie guns for cinema release

Little Me

grow up....

like so many of these hip and modern things.. who cares about the camera, the lens, the special type of artificial snow..... show me the film! So they taped a camera (which happens to be in a phone) to a lens.... next...

unless you are a camera operator at which it becomes I suspect a case of. very nice toy for a student project. next...

'Puzzling structures on surface' of YU55 spaceball

6 frames?

and that's a movie? not sure I can finish my popcorn in that time...

Ford spins pop-out anti-prang door shield

truly car manufacturers have peaked if this is progress.....

Developer fury as Google makes Android apps vanish

Little Me
Unhappy

apple win?

and so as the android world thrashes around...... Apple's closed and controlled world appeals more and more to normal people (who just want it to work to and don't worry about being restrained)

Blade servers 101

time warp?

Can someone tell me if it is still 2011? I feel like I am back in 2002 when such issues were new news.

I remember the wonderful expressions on datacentre managers when they realised just how many KW a rack could potentially draw. priceless.

US air passenger cuffed over low-flying pants

Little Me
WTF?

US/UK

note that I ought to care really, but his PANTS were that low. blimey I really am "out of touch"

I have a plan for this evening now

time to crank up the video (yes video) player and have a laugh!

Norway!

Go Opera!

Easier to secure the cloud than your data center - IBMer

Little Me

all this makes me think of.....

a regular outsourcing affair.... SLAs, tight security, monitoring provider.... sounds like best way to get a real grown up solution that you can bet you business on it to forget the caring, sharing, woolly cloud part and just straight outsource it.....

Storm brews over Chinese synchronised goldfish

propulsion?

the fins don't move, so how are they moving? watching the video magnets look likely.. especially the one that is not going straight...

Openistas question UK.gov's £300k crime-mapping website

Little Me
WTF?

Sorry, we couldn't find a policing area that matched your search

Is that a good thing or a bad thing... and who is driving that police car that hangs around if not a police man/woman ???

time to put another bolt on the door.

Aussies demand Poms cough up first 'Australia' map

Little Me

Elgin Marbles?

I think the comparison with the Elgin marbles is a bit off target.. Greek historic pieces being nabbed could be said to be Greek and demanded back.....but a map drawn by a visitor was hardly ever the ownership of any Aus inhabitant...

sorry Aus but asking nicely might be more appropriate...

V-22 Osprey downblast scatters spectators like skittles

Little Me

Nanny state?

not in the US at least!

No sign of a multi page health and safety review on this occasion it seems... or even a sniff of common sense for that matter.

The Googlephone - there's more where that came from

Little Me
WTF?

Nexus rings a bell....

but how does it integrate with Cisco's Nexus products? Maybe it is a supremely entry level version? 1 vs 5000 etc.

now where are my snowman building gloves....

Beeb gets grief for Humpty Dumpty rewrite

Little Me
Stop

Go pick on a bad program!

my 4 year old think Mr Tumble is great and so do I ! so what if he gets tickled by a couple of ladies in bearskins who looks like they are enjoying it a little too much...

shall we turn the cannon on say... Popshop?
