Brexploitation? Adobe gets creative with price hikes

You had me at

"Adobe, the developer of overpriced software for creative types"

Cock fight? Not half. Microsoft beats down Apple in Q1

Schools and iPads

My wife is a Primary School teacher here in the UK. The ex-head ordered two iPads per class but they had no pencils, rubbers or pritt sticks. When he left they discovered £200K unspent in the budget. Clearly a genius. He's probably got an MBA. I pity the school he went to.

Tesla books over $8bn in overnight sales claims Elon Musk

Off peak

Once most people have an electric car there won't be any off peak as most people will be charging their cars at night. One tariff to rule them all?

Jurassic World: All the meaty ingredients for a summer blockbuster

Product Placement

There wasn't enough Samsung and Mercedes products in it for my liking. At one point they dropped them for dinosaurs. Shurely some mistake?!?!?!?

Nokia out $99 dual-Sim Asha

WP8

Nice looking phone (well without the front physical buttons), couldn't they produce a WP8 version?

'Unibody' iPhone 5 said to debut in October

Sandpaper your fingers

So you need to sandpaper your fingers for a 7.x inch Pad but not a 3.x inch phone?

Landing

Does it land on an Iranian runway????

Dubstep ringtone wins Nokia compo

I'm too old

I played the tune back at the same time as my 11 year daughter walked in the room. In her words - "I love that".

Microsoft to skim Samsung Android takings

Protection from Apple

Is this not also about being protected from Apple's legal nonesense????

£69 Pre 3 spied on HP UK website

Phone number

from http://www.saynoto0870.com you can use 020 7949 0300 instead of 0845 270 4142

New Apple move against Galaxy Tab on Euro front

No involvement from M$

The iPad looks like a HP TC1100 (great machine) to me with a black bezel instead of a gray one. I guess M$ hasn't backed Samsung because they're happy for Android to be put down/stunted until Windows 8 comes out

Sony prices up PlayStation telly for UK

The exchange rate comparison never gets old

According to the linked in reg article it's going to be $499 in the US. Can we have an image for RIP off Britain please?

Samsung must cough up Android prototypes to Apple

Hmm

Apple bans iPhone 3G patch omission talk from forum

Eh???

Good job he's decided to remain anonymous!?!? The Apple Secret Police won't be able to trace him now that you've included his posting this article

Microsoft blows Windows Phone update, again

Isn't 4GB for a backup of the whole phone...

... onto your PC/Mac before actually updating???

Dixons prices up Motorola Xoom for Blighty

Dixons

Only Dixons could grab defeat from the jaws of victory! These companies are not going to beat Apple at near Apple prices. Needs to be much lower.

MS kicks off game coder compo

@stumpy

I wasn't trolling as I actually write software for Windows Phone 7 devices and I'm not interested in doing so for the Xbox 360.

Here is the misleading part which you failed you quote:

"is open to any projects built with XNA Game Studio 4.0."

Since it's actually only open to projects built with XNA Game Studio for the Xbox 360 it's misleading.

Given that the text in the article has been updated to:

"... is open to any Xbox 360 projects built with XNA Game Studio 4.0, a platform which can also be used to develop games for Windows PCs and Windows Phones" I'd say the author, or whoever changed it agreed with me.

Now who's the troll???

Confusing

Someone forgot to read the rules of the competition before publishing this story because the comment: "The Dream.Build.Play 2011 Challenge is open to any projects built with XNA Game Studio 4.0, a platform to develop games for Xbox 360, Windows PCs and Windows Phones." is misleading.

The rules state:

"The final version of the Game you submit must be playable by the judging panel on an xbox 360 console...."

Good luck with the PC and Windows Phone 7 games!!!

Intel puts cloud on single megachip

Crysis

2fps?

Samsung N510 Nvidia Ion-based netbook

Full HD

Wake me up when a netbook with support for 1080p (and by that I mean a screen with that resolution) HD comes out with a reasonable price and battery life. I might be waiting a while but at the moment I'm not feeling the excitement of 720 HD
