Big EU imports of Sahara sun-power coming soon?

Stable governments

You'd also need stable, uncorrupted governments to "partner" with. Personally that is my main concern, technical issues can be solved, political ones on the other hand.......

Boffin

She sued a US airline last year after an implant burst on a flight

The mythbusters have already proved this is impossible (unless the implant was damaged before the flight).

Revo Heritage DAB/FM radio and iPod dock

FAIL

Re: Fugly

That goes with most DAB radios imo. Why oh why so many models in retro style? Why would I convert to DAB if most models available on the high street look junk?

From a medical point of view, how safe are these X-rays to the casual flyer? To a frequent flyer? Will we see a rise of cancer cases in the next few years following the introduction of these scanners???

Sony backs away from OLED TV future

Yannick
FAIL

Now now, easy boy

I think we both agree that OLED would kick ass if it were available at a reasonable price and size. You know why that's not the case already? Cause it's bloody difficult and expensive to produce! That's why I'm not surprised at Sony's decision in this cash strapped days. Now as an angry consumer you may not like it, but in business terms that DOES make sense.

Wow, I managed to write this post without anonymity, swearing or calling other posters names, now how did I do that???

Yannick
Unhappy

It makes sense unfortunately

I've been eyeing the OLED technology since news appeared perhaps 7 or 8 years ago. And ever since, I've been anxious to read about any OLED advances and their showcase at each year's CES.

However the first time I saw an LCD LED TV, a year ago, I thought to myself that will fill the gap nicely till OLED TVs are affordable and available at decent sizes. At the same time I had the sneaking suspicion that it might postpone any OLED advances and funding, as LCD LED is so much cheaper. That feeling is sadly confirmed today. I’m sure OLED will find it’s place in niche markets such as expensive Apple gadgetry, but I doubt I’ll see a 42’’ OLED TV in my lounge any time soon.

RTFA, his MUM saw a picture of her sister

Not quite the same as he seeing a photo of his future bride.

I can't help but feeling sad for the poor girl. And it's not like her parents are gonna pull a similar sting anytime soon, with such publicity on El Reg and elsewhere.

Obama scraps Constellation moon mission

Yannick
Thumb Up

Yup

Totally agree with your post, about time they scrapped that money wasting stupid idea and focus on the ISS, robot exploration and satellite observation. I'm not against human space travel, but in our current economic climate, it's just non-sense.
