If you are implying it was Apple, it wasn't. My dad says there were shops about when he was young, and he is much older than Apple.

They should have sent 10 robots up and got teams in charge of each one to get the robots to perform amusing tasks. Every week one robot could get voted off the Red planet, and blown up, nice close ups of the losing team being told they are now out of a job.

BSkyB punches Virgin Media in ads watchdog fist fight

TBx

I have a ADSL connection with Virgin Media which they market as "unlimited"

Is this not what Virgin's complaint about BT was ?

On a side note. I have been paying 27.99 per month for the last 8 months, even though I have a Virgin phone line. It appears it should be 15.99 per month.

But what can you do? Just suck it up :-(

Police expert caught with abuse images

He was not a police officer, he was caught breaking the the law, sacked and prosecuted. Other than his crimes, what is the problem? (In relation to the story)

Apple denies iPhone 4 antenna glitch, blames inaccurate signal bars

TBx

Apple does NOT denie iphone antenna glitch

Apple's comment is in keeping with peoples experences of a drop in signal strength, Apple seem to to says that holding the iphone the "wrong" way leads to a 2 bar drop in signal srength,

But at the same time saying there is nothing wrong with the hardware, it is just a software fault, (a software fault unrelated to the problem)
