And it happened again, this time DWP.

Makes you wonder where that 'invoice' money is headed.

Re: The voters hate Osborne

If it cost more to run than it brought in perhaps it needed to be higher. The tax rate has been much higher in the past without bank bailouts crippling the country.

Ofcom snatches 700MHz off digital telly, hands it to mobile data providers

Microsoft eyes slice of Raspberry Pi with free Windows 10 sprinkled on top

Re: Android

Due to the closed nature of the chosen SoC. I assume MS were able to get details and driver sources.

Surface RT

Now it all makes sense, it was announced last week that the RT version of Win10 would be late. I guess adding the extra hardware platform (probably a management afterthought) slowed/set back development. I was thinking they were phasing out support for ARM because of the poor sales of Surface RT devices.

How exactly does it know which appliance is using what? Unless monitoring is done socket by socket, this sounds like an expensive solution looking for a problem.

Wouldn't it be much better just to offer a power usage audit for those that want it? Scoring appliances against an average.

Why has sexy Apple gone to bed with big boring IBM?

TL:DR

Skipped to the end, at least El Reg remembered Power PC, many (the verge, bbc) had forgotten.

However my point? I don't really have one.They were never competitors, there was never any hate, it was just a marketing campaign.

Apple embraced the IBMPC platform in the end didn't they, perhaps they need to move back to RISC now that ARM is getting to Intel like levels of processing...

Apple SOLDERS memory into new 'budget' iMac

Bad Precedent

I don't give a crap what Apple do, I know they are evil. I look at these specs and see a £400 cheapo computer.

What annoys me is that this will be copied. Now that Apple have done it Dell will do it, once the hatred has died down HP will do it.

BBC, ITV gang up on YouView with 'FreeView Connect'

Re: @ Grease Monkey

It was discussed in depth for years by El Reg.

Fantastic!!

Youview is too expensive for a connected TV receiver, we need a free version of the Sky NowTV box, something cheap that does free/bbc Internet telly and is secure so they can stick the broadcast channels over IP as well without licensing issues.

Also caching, lots of caching. This actually happened to Teletext in it's final years (via capture cards), it made it very fast to use.
