Fukushima reactor shell ruptured?

You are lazy

Go back and read his article properly, I know it's three pages long but if you take your time you may understand that he said if...

Is Apple planning incompatible payments?

retail

Yeah I think he does realise it's retail, although I'd think she would rather have a bar-code tattoo than a chip in her butt! :)

EC

Now this really would leave them no wiggle room with the European Commission.

Fukushima is a triumph for nuke power: Build more reactors now!

This is delt with in the article

One years worth of background radiation. I saw the report, these people were being checked as a precaution not in a hospital but in the street. I would say going by that visual evidence they did not appear to be poisoned.

BBC accused of coming out for porn opt-in?

Lets not forget

Sexism and Homophobia, the god blatherers invented that stuff.

Google vanishes 'DroidDream' malware from citizen phones

Yes we do

We both have kill switches. Only Android has a choice of markets and the ability to install from outside of the markets.

Traffic-light plague sweeps UK: Safety culture strangles Blighty

Let see if that works

I'd be happy to have roads spending limited to the money raised by VED, the money saved from general taxation can be spent on trains and segregated cycle lanes.

But it's mostly Cabs and Buses

It's mostly Cabs and Buses, would motorists make more than one or two passes through in a day? I'm sure if they took a deep breath (OK maybe not with the Cab pollution) they could stand it and not go Clarkson on everyone.

Road Tax?!

The title of the report points out the problem, there are a hell of a lot of motorists on our roads who would rather endanger peoples lives than wait a few seconds.

There is no such thing as Road Tax, there is Vehicle Excise Duty which does not pay for roads, they are paid for by general taxation. This of course means that cyclists and pedestrians pay just as much for the roads as the motorists who " destroy, and block up" them.

Also one of the big reasons for increased congestion has been Thames Water, who after years of putting off digging up our streets were forced to complete their works over a relatively short period.

Electric cars not as 'green' as advertised

Dont forget the required wars

Dont forget the required wars to obtain said oil.

Now if there was a bore-hole with a geo-thermal power system at the charging station...

buses and trucks

Buses and trucks do pollute more, but cars outnumber them massively, also buses and trucks pollute even more when stuck behind hundreds of passenger-less cars.

EV's are not the only answer, they do not cut congestion. We need to ban all private cars from our city centres and invest in trams.

Don't even get me started on Taxi's, you can see the pollution pour out of them fucktards.

Security shocker: Android apps send private data in clear

Who didn't know this already?

Been using https://touch.facebook.com since before their SSL setting (It gave a domain mismatch error but was encrypted).

I never liked the app for just this reason and have posted to El Reg comments on this before. Apps are bad for security, mobile web at least lets you know the connection security status.

Also this is not an Android issue, this is down to Facebook and Google for developing apps which do the same job of a website but badly.

Apple iOS dominates Euro smartphone usage

PORN!

You can change the default browser on Android, not on iOS, also maybe iOS users have to use the browser to access porn, Android users can of course use an app/alternate browser. Shhh!

HTC shuns Honeycomb for Android tablet debut

Hardware requirements

Android 3 needs a dual-core chip methinks, this device has a 1.5GHz chip which leads me to believe it's single core (hence the extra clocking).

Microsoft polishes Windows Phone 7

Add some configuration Ballmer you idiot!

Hotmail had us add every contact we didn't want to go to the spam folder, and there is no way to stop these from being sync'd to the address book in WinPho7.

Such a simple thing, but it made me choose Android instead.

Now, Nokia, what about the hardware?

Why they chose WinPho

Nokia is being run by an ex-Microsoft guy.

Nokia's age-old rival (Sony-)Ericsson are now an Android house so they can't go there or they fail to stand out.

Because they want to stand out from the crowd rather than be just another Android house, how to do that... Join the camp where no one has made any noise yet, then make some noise!

Here's a thought, all WinPho's out there have a fixed spec, but their makers didn't have the wedding to M$ that Nokia had this morning. Maybe the Nokia handset(s) will have something the others were not allowed to have.

BBC iPlayer iPad app out this week

Android

Assuming your Android phone is new enough just use the mobile site. As for the old Android phones, well sorry to say upgrade.

As for iOS, the Beeb are pissing our cash away on this. The phones should meet the spec of iPlayer, not the other way around.

Discovery crawls to launch pad

Finally!

I saw Discovery on the pad back in October (before all the hassle with switches and tanks), thinking I'd be watching it go up in November (via internets) can't wait to see it finally take off.

Home Office crime maps go to street-level detail

DDOS!!!!

If we keep clicking reload on this site is it regarded as a DDOS? and will the map reflect this?

"Sorry, we couldn't find a policing area that matched your search."

I also got the message above. Living in Hackney I could very well believe this.

Loved the Tory on R4Today this morning, arguing that the site is working and the callers to the show were wrong. :D

Facebook offers 500 million users SSL crypto

https://www.facebook.com/

I agree that FB should force SSL connections but you can just go to https://www.facebook.com and be protected against sniffing on open networks.

Woof Woof

Lane Fox promises sub-£100 PCs

Pointless idea...

Just like that Fox bint.

4G networks can screw up cable TV

I guess they could back-track!

Keep the bandwidth for TV, expand freeview HD and give the platform a future.

What's in your datacentre?

A very good start

This is a great start, articles like this need to be written since this stuff isn't taught to the PFY's out there until they hit the industry.

Google battles Derby cops over access to Street View data

Or...

The police could just get the court order and get on with it.

Are you saying they should have gone to the media and publicised this image? Is that the correct course of action?

Perhaps they could get the court order and also ask for clarification of the law for any future requests.

Microsoft has shifted 1.5 million Windows phones

Not true

Your views are those of a consumer. We have 300 WinMo's running custom apps, all of which would be recompiled for WinPho but for the fact you can't install your own easily. So we are moving to Android.

Spaces!

Hahaha, who the hell puts spaces in usernames? Serves him right the numptie!

Christmas shoppers hit by BT fire

Privatised telecom

Privatised telecom see profits as their highest priorities, just like privatised airports. Disaster recovery is only important if the disaster cost outweighs the design and implementation costs.

Queen set to outlaw ID cards today

"ever-increasing state intervention"

So an adult content filter on the Internet isn't "ever-increasing state intervention"?

The best argument I've seen against Internet filters.

Scientologist overlord declares victory over Anonymous

Not only but also...

Not only a CULT, but also a registered company. Along with some distinctly dodgy sounding stuff.

Dell rings up spin-screen Duo at £449

Not user-proof

Users will flip that screen and use the surround as a handle! Mark my words!

Olympians threaten ICANN with lawsuit

Reserve them

Spy app firm charges £1.86 to remove its software

Assuming the original was not free...

It would show up on said paranoid person's bank/credit card statement as it would need to be purchased using their Google checkout account...

Not only are both bits of software morally wrong but the first one (if priced) is pretty useless.

Buffalo USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34

Haven't we all gone for e-SATA by now?

PARIS HAS LANDED!!! Epic supra-atmos flight ends

How very negative!

Well done guys, a successful launch, and from the GPS data quite a flight (balloon or wing). Can't wait for the recovery and the stills from the on-board time-lapse camera.

Have a pint!

Tesco's iPhone app gets barcode reader

Marketing

It's not for people to use!

It's for people to talk about and say TESCO loads and loads. They are feeding off the iPhone like some kinda brand-centipede.

Jobs' Lion to marry Mac OS X and iOS

This isn't an OS upgrade

It's a couple of extra system apps, a new mouse driver and some tweaks to allow full screen apps (Like Frontrow?!).

I upgraded to 10.6, but I'll skip this one...

Google Android chief smacks Steve Jobs with Linux speak

You tried a Samsung!

Try to remember ever using a Samsung that was easy to get your head around. Yes that's right they customised it, they can do that, it's not an iPhone.

Try a HTC next time.

Check Point kills scareware-style pop-up campaign

Never again

I'll never use zone alarm again after reading this.

Other Cinema chains...

That is all...

Nandos 'village bike' ad not sexist, rules ASA

Having ads in my music offends me

Having ads in my music offends me. Not being able to send a link from an "Online" service also offends me.

Which is why I use Grooveshark or iPlayer.

Oh and before you start with the freetard bull, I pay to support GS, but there were no ads anyway.

Boffins build lie detector for crooked CEOs

The truth

CEO talking = CEO lying

CEO quiet = Waiting to steal your ideas

Also the science behind this story is common sense stuff. If they try to distract you with tangents and hesitate they are selling something they know is bad.

No no no

Time duration is no match for multiple jolts, esp with varying time gaps.
