Why millions of Brits' mobile phones were knackered on Thursday: An expired Ericsson software certificate

Re: But what was working?

Some calls, some of the time, didn't get through.

French Google fund to pay for 1 million print run of Charlie Hebdo next week

Re: I don't for a second believe the 'Charlie' murderers were acting as Muslims.

Did Breivik go massacring people in the name of his religion? Because someone "insulted" his prophet? No, he did it because of his political/racist views, not his religious ones.

I'm sick and tired of terrorists' apologists bringing up Breivik each time a non-Christian nutjob commits an atrocity. And Breivik was one - how many of the other lot are there?

Apple said to threaten legal action over Steve Jobs doll

Re: Didn't Snow White...

So what? Apple Computers sued Apple records for the name - and won, even though Apple records pre-dated Apple Computers. Everything is possible in the "alternative reality".

Might not be the doll itself

I suspect their problem is with (one of) the accessories - the apple with a bite taken out of it. That is trademarked.

From the Telegraph article linked here:

"The action figure comes with a pair of black socks, some glasses, a leather belt, two apples (one with a bite taken out of it), a bar stool and a "One More Thing" backdrop."

Euro fraud cops crush garlic tax evaders

I'm old enough to remember garlic being cheap as chips - cheaper, in fact. Its price skyrocketed ovenight after studies were published which showed its health benefits. Because that's a well know axiom - health is only for those who can afford it.

Adobe plots rebound with latest Creative Suite

Re: Please Adobe

I use pdftoword (www.pdftoword.com) to convert a pdf document, then edit it in OpenOffice and then export it as pdf if necessary - all in Linux (Mandriva). I refuse to pay for bloated, overpriced software.
