Steve Jobs' last design: New Apple HQ pics

"KKAAAAAAAHHN!!"

Cnet slammed for wrapping Nmap downloads with cruddy toolbar

Aye - There's a Story Here

I had the email from Fyodor today, and wanted to push this over to some one at El Reg but couldn't find a link to submit (before my brain wandered on to other stuff.... : "WooHoo! Earthlike planet!!")

It's shocking to see that a 'stalwart' (loosest possible meaning of the term) of the download repositories has done this..

"Bad C|Net.. Bad!"

Gone in a Flash: Adobe's long march to HTML5

Finally!

Where as I sincerely appreciate what Flash has down for the internet, I have always been a sceptic for its use.

In my experience it slowed down machines, crashed websites, and needed a further update/plugin/install for it to work. The same went for Silverlight.

I prefer nice, clean code that all parties, browsers, and devices can use with little or no additional fuss.

UK.gov slaps £100m on broadband investment pile for urbanites

Kelly "The Red" Fiveash does it again..

""Large swathes of the countryside will be able to access super-fast broadband as BT continues its roll-out and as funds already lined up by the government become available in the next five years or so," it said."

...Sort of goes against the tag line, Kelly...!!

That is all.

Shock claim: Playing Elder Scrolls WILL MAKE YOU GAY

Had to read the title twice..

I honestly thought Sky had branched out on a tangent...

(p.s. Where's the "Smut Angle" icon?)

What's on the mind of the Freetard eBookworm?

So basically..

Glad you enabled the comments for this one Andy... ;-)

iPhone: The OS with big aspirations

really?

30 seconds too long?

Your loss :-)

Apple iPhone tops 2009 smartphone sales

*Please Insert Girder*

A good point well made!

For it to stick, we'll need the break down of iPod Touches and iPhones please.

Wired defines the storage 'PornYear'

"PornYear"

Quite a 'handy' title..

Yes, that's mine, thanks..

Swiss prostitutes armed with defibrillators

Breaks the ol' heart thinking of the girls needing to take a defib to work..

Thanks, mine's the one with the protection in the pocket.

Sony coughs to PS3 stock shortfall

Same same

So that's Microsoft, Nintendo, and now Sony doing the old "We aren't shipping enough units to shops!".

And in other news: A cat got stuck up a nearby tree

Nothing to see here.. carry on.

Note to Captain Kirk: Warp speed will kill you

Oi! Prof?

Do you drive without a windscreen/windshield?

No? Well, ok then.. Congrats on stating the obvious, but how about finding the solution..?

Scots unleash world's strongest beer

Potted Heid/Hough/whatever - EU regs

oh really?

Funny, as I went into a butchers North of the Border and got some. Whoever told you that one is mis-informed (even if it is the EU themselves).

And no.. not disgusting, just rediculously fattening and life shortening.

Still good though :-)

Raygun 747 missile-zapping test video released

.. dejavu?

I feel I've read this article somewhere else before.......

Questionable time stamps on the video, as I have seen the second segment at the end of last year...

Sony unwraps 3D Blu-ray player pair...

Review Time

"Be warned, it only gets one-and-a-half stars out of five."

Time for a review then to prove/dis-prove the 1 out of 5 stars?

Sony to demo 'world's first' in-box wireless tech

Distance

Think of it more like you would need to have your listening device within the workstation to be able to snoop the info being transfered. 14mm isn't that great a distance, and you would need to be within that 14mm radius to pick it up.

Personally, thin kthis is an interesting idea, aside from Wize's (quite correct) security issue.

There might be a use for this in the future, but it's far too early to say.

Brits take iTablet moniker for 12in iPad rival

Interest?.. peaked?... me?

Kit cracks iPhone backup passwords

..and?

But no one in their right mind would store ultra sensitive info on an iPhone..

Seriously.

Apple: popularity, not problems, caused iMac delays

Grrrrr!

3 freaking months I've been waiting for an i7.. 3!

Some say I've been lucky with not having one from the start, but the fact of the matter is it just wasn't ready yet..

Strangely though, I'm still waiting patiently for one..... Yes yes, you can call me stupid, I don't mind.

Heh "Avoid Detection"

From the F-Secure article:

"In order to avoid detection, it bypasses the local web proxy when doing this connection. "

So that'll mean it'll show up on the firewall then... Oh wait.. you mean it wasn't set up accordingly??

Shirley, you can't be serious?

US makes travellers go online, before getting onboard

oh?

I just ask the steward/dess for one - very usually have one spare. But then again, a pen is always in my carryon.. until such time that someone uses one (or similar) to be silly with..

Suggest taking one on a US flight as you'll be needing one for a while :-)

What he said...

"Roger that!"

Google Nexus One caught on camera

two things

Firstly - Love that Roy Batty is alive and well with a phone number, must give him a call to say the Chew only does eyes..

Swecondly - Who was this guy again? He had a crib sheet that he read off from... surely he should know all this by now...??

Motorola's latest Android 'andset demo'd

Clip 1:09

Alas no, check the clip at 1:09. that is definitely a single piece hinge clip that is angled at a right angle: screen up, keyboard down.

I really like your idea though, and Motorola should take note!

TalkTalk kills Tiscali

Notice prior to Xmas

I'm sure I read on El Reg that they were going to cull the much beleagued Tiscali. I decided not to move email addresses until they actually did. Now they have, I'm a-moving off of them and their spammy lists!
