DeLorean goes electric for 2013 roll-out

Sadly, no. As stated in the article the flux capacitor is not included. Maybe they will release it as an optional extra at some point in the future ;-)

Apple and Samsung discuss... CPU production deal

Nope, not even close.

Apple iPhone 4S

Well actually... Yes!

The 16GB iPhone is £80 more expensive to start, however to upgrade to 32GB, requires a cheap memory card popped into the S2's card slot. It will cost you an extra £100 to get 32GB with Apple.

Samsung, Google to out Ice Cream Sarnie next week

You say that as if the royalties are a huge and defining part of MS's business when in reality it's nothing more than a nice sideline for them. Granted, at 100 million it might seem large, but when taken over their whole business it's quite a tiny portion.

Dutch ISP calls the cops after Spamhaus blacklists it

Whats TPB got to do with anything

They are only using Cyberbunker as an ISP, probably because they don't easily cave in to threats. The problem for TPB is that Cyberbunker are likely also acting as ISP for some mass spammer as well ( probably for the same reasons as TPB use them). It's got nothing to do with backdoor methods to close down TPB.

Anyone know of any good restaurants, I'm hungry now.

Biker gang plunders Covent Garden Apple Store

I'm surpised they didn't break into the local Starbucks afterwards to enjoy their loot with a "nice" coffee.

MS kills, un-kills Zune HD media player

It looked like an excellent bit of kit

But with a stupid, stupid, STUPID name like Zune and it's ridiculous logo, it never stood a chance. No matter how good, who in their right mind will want to say, check out my Zune.

Just saying it....... Zzzzuuuuune, makes me wonder what the fuck the they were thinking when they suggested it. I find it staggering, that someone didn't say Seriously, Zune...what the fuck... are you off your fucking trolley. The design people also need to hire some new blood.

The Zune HD was close, and looked pretty sleek, then some twat decided to add the little notch at the bottom of the screen and completely mess up the nice lines. To me that one little notch (well two if you count the one on the back as well) take it from looking sleek to looking dated.

.... or is it just me.

Gay-bashing cult plans picket of Steve Jobs funeral

They won't go away even if the press DOES ignore them. Protesting is their family business and denial of their civil right to protest is what makes them the cash, that's why they all study law. Sadly other than using a shotgun there is very little that you can do to stop them and they are here for the long haul, so people will just have to ignore them and accept they are a price of free speech that has to be paid

Amazon accepts Kindle Fire will be rooted

Well just checked out those comparison pictures and you've certainly confirmed it for me, they both look like completely different and individual products. Perhaps Apple need to sue Asus, because when I open the box, there was the product sitting right on top in all it's glory and the USB cable is very similar. As for the box, how dare a company put a picture of their product right there on the front of it. Samsung even had the blatant cheek to write Samsung Galaxy Tab in big letters right on the front of the box in a totally deliberate attempt to fool people into thinking it's actually an iPad. As for using a completely different looking voice recording app, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh did I happen to mention you were an idiot, it appears not... you are an idiot, there you go...sorted!!

Microsoft delivers fatal blow to yet another botnet

Of course, the people that allowed their computers to be compromised in the first place by probably clicking yes to some random link or file bear no responsibility whatsoever. If people took personal responsibility over the computers under their own control we wouldn't have half the problem. Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse and while I'm not absolving MS of their duty I think it's unfair to blame them for something that is easily avoidable by end users.

2009 game footage appears in ITV show as 1988 IRA vid

Sad. Is this what we've come to?

If this any judge of the quality of journalism on what is supposed to be a "flagship news show", then we are in bigger trouble than I thought. Kind of makes you hanker after Roger Cook and his investigative journalism show The Cook Report. At least he dealt with real terrorists who used real guns and he received real death threats. You know.... proper investigative journalism.

WikiLeaks memoir races to 537th on bestseller chart

What pay for it out of my own pocket.... I mean with MY money.... are you fucking serious, no joke is worth spending that much. I'll just go to the library and see if they can get it in.

Power cut knocks Miliband off-air mid-speech

I won't be losing any sleep over missing it.

The man is a total dullard. Could you really see him representing this country on the world stage, he put them to sleep in no time. When he got in as Labour leader my initial reaction was what the fuck are you all thinking, then I realised they just need a sacrificial lamb that they can get shot off when it gets close to election time again, when a proper leader (probably David Milliband this time) can take over. John Major had more charisma than Mr. Ed and that's a tough cookie to beat.

Verizon: Samsung 4G ban not in our, er, public interest

Ohhhhh, Hark at him and his knowledge of Latin..... and people say there is no point in learning it.

Assange™ pens world's first unauthorised autobiography

Can't wait...

I'm sure it will be a totally uninteresting read, much like the man himself. I think I'll give this one a miss.

BBC website ditches modules in facelift

As far as the media are concerned London and the UK the same thing.

Microsoft milks Casio for using Linux

Maybe the companies that are settling just don't believe they would win in court. Casio is a multi-billion dollar company, as is HTC, Acer and quite a few other companies that have settled, in fact most are richer by a long way than Red Hat. These companies can quite easily afford a long court battle.

HP axes up to 525 webOS hardware staff

and there you have it...

The sad reality behind everyone's excitement at trying to pick off a cheap tablet.

EU recording copyright extension 'will cost €1bn'

Are you kidding me

"the basic human desire to share"

More basic in human desire is greed and self preservation, I would say sharing is pretty low down on the although I do agree that the copyright system is screwed up and rewards only the big labels and big names. It would have been a better idea if copyright was removed from the big labels after a period of around 30 years and any benefit received after that would revert to the creators.

Why though anyone feels they should expect to live off something for half a century never mind more is beyond me.

HP sued by investor over PC and TouchPad antics

He doesn't own it

He owns shares in it, which have now been devalued by the incompetence of the top management. Had investors been aware at the time that the management had planned on taking the route they chose they may not have invested in the company and lost the value of their investment.

LOHAN to suck mighty thruster as it goes off, in a shed

G.E.R.I

Ground-based Experimantal Rocket Igniter

Just staying with the British based again

P.R.I.C.E

Primary Rocket Ignition Chamber Experiment

Thought I'd go with a homegrown celebutard ;-)

As a matter of interest

I have no prior knowledge or insight whatsoever so quite frankly haven't got a clue but thought it might be worth asking as you intend to use aluminium as the inner tube. What is the melting point of aluminium, what temperature will the rocket ignition be, and how close together will these two temperatures be.

Anti-gay bus baron rages at being stuffed in Google closet

I bet Souter is just hiding in the closet

If he really wants to find his website, perhaps he should start looking in the 1950's.

Apollo 17 Moon landing: Shock revelations

Say it isn't so!!!

Are chew fucking witch me. I'm sorry I don't buy it... there's something decidedly conspiratorial about those space explorers.

Everyone knew NoTW 'rogue reporter' bit was untrue

It'll be the same old story

The guys like the editor and reporters will be the sacrificial lambs, while the guys at the top (the Murdochs) will walk away from this mess with nothing but the profits they have made. They will throw any and all before them under the bus to save their own necks and as usual they will walk away like the majority of the MP's who scammed the UK public simply because they have to power to allow them to do so.

Jeff Bezos' spaceship self-destructs in test flight

I already know what the problem is

They failed to contact any of our very own LOHAN engineers. Even PARIS got twice as high as that for a total cost of (to quote James May) 10 n' 6.

Freeview to get fifth HD channel

Let me have the channel

I'll create a channel called Pr0n HD. It will certainly be more entertaining and give more of a public (or personal) service albeit slightly more repetitive (a repetivitiy I can live with mind) than most of the shite they put on now.

Amazon refuses Touchpad refunds after price slash frenzy

Almost.

The UK price of £89 (not £99) includes VAT, while the US price of $99 does not include sales tax (America's version of VAT) which has to be added on to the $99 cost.

El Reg's NAOMI rocket throws launch-pad strop

Get down Shep!!!

We are definitely in Blue Peter territory. An empty milk carton and some sticky back plastic should do the trick. Throw in a ball of string and space is a definite possibility. There might even be a Blue Peter badge in it for you at the end.

Go team LOHAN!!! We loves it.

LG backs Sharp, Philips would-be TV apps standard

Oh good.. a standard!!!

Then they will be able to implement an updated standard every two years that can only be updated by buying a new television that already has the newer standard and making the older standard obsolete. That should get more televisions moving out the door.

..... or am I just being too cynical?

UK-US corporate world slams 'dot-brand' domain plans

Is....

it true that only an idiot can take an article that is not even remotely connected to Apple and turn try and turn it into a fanboi hatefest. Now run along... Mummy is calling you for bedtime.

....and no, I 'm not an Apple fanboi. In fact I don't own any Apple hardware at all.

Windows 8 ribbon entangles Microsoft

Look on the bright side.

At least we get the fucking delete button back at the top of our explorer window.

Foxconn reports $17.6m 1st-half loss as robot legion grows

You know what...you are right

The robot does look a little paranoid in that first picture. It looks like maybe Marvin and a lady Robosapien have got together and made a baby.

CERN: 'Climate models will need to be substantially revised'

What do you suggest then

Asking the sun politely to play nicely.

Samsung's iOS rival gets multitasking and HTML5

I don't know

I get the feeling the uncertainties over Android might play into Microsoft's hand. It will be easier and cheaper for manufacturers to jump ship and licence an OS that's ready to go should the need arise. The only real smartphone alternative to Android at the moment is Microsoft's.

If Nokia can make a real concerted push into the low to mid range market whenever they eventually decide to release a Windows phone, you might find it taking off. There is a huge market out there missing a decent smartphone, trouble is it's a tough target to hit with a decent quality fast smartphone.

Four months' porridge for 20-minute Facebook riot page

A little extreme I think

I think some peoples emotions over the riots may be clouding their judgement somewhat. While I have no sympathy for the guy that actually attempted to get a riot going, and actually turned up to proceed on one, I the case in this article is a bit OTT

"Facebook, Twitter and RIM have been called to meet the Home Secretary on Thursday to discuss issues around the disturbances and Cameron's apparent desire to get such networks switched off as he or subsequent Prime Ministers may order."

This is a bit of a slippery slope, and not one I think I would want to be letting our politicians go down.

iRumours: Flash sources point to cheap iPhone 4. Or 5

I doubt it

It's not really in Apples nature to sell cheap. Even their crappiest Mac is way overpriced. I think they are happy to sell lower amounts at premium price than higher amounts at bargain price. It's certainly worked for them so far so why would they bother changing their strategy. I'm sure there are still quite a few suckers they can rope in yet.

God particle back in hiding

A Quark?

I do believe it was actually a quirk, as opposed to a quark.... not quite the same thing, but fuck it, close enough.

or.. shock, horror

.... it may not exist.

Sadly, Paris shows up at excess events as well.

National web-2.0 dogturd photo scheme goes live

Do so at your own peril

Because you too can be known by all the local kids as "that weirdo that runs round the estate taking pictures of shite"

I think not!!!

ISS 'naut shoots first ever 3D footage in space

I can think of only one word..

.... Why?

Intel pushes back next-gen Atom release

This is a good news day!!

If they are anything like the previous generation maybe it's best not to bother at all.

iPhone 5 less than a month away

Oh Good, I can't wait

That means more Youtube videos to laugh at of hundreds of lemmings standing in a queue being cheered on by a bunch of clapping seals.... they always make me smile.

Apple iCloud pricing revealed

or......

I could just stick with Skydrive and get 25GB for free.

HTC sues Apple in the UK

I don't mind

.. it has me in stitches

Googlenet runs on '900,000 servers'

Shhhh!!!!!!!!!!

You'll only encourage the fuckers.

Murdoch muscles BBC out of Formula One driving seat

No new subscription for me

Not a chance in hell. I will download it and watch it before I pay for a Sky sports subscription just for the priviledge of watching 10 races.

Fuck you Bernie, you greedy little fucking oiik.

Unfuckingbelievable....

The only fucking thing on BBC I pay a license fee to see. I'm fucked if I'm paying Sky the money for Sky Sports just to watch it. I'm afraid I may just turn into a freetard for that one.
