Don't bother with that degree, say IT pros

HR imposter in the reg

Some of us work hard in HR to stop that kind of mindless sifting occuring, just thought I would say :) And it usually comes from managers (why do they need a degree, oh they just do, stop arguing about what I want)

Foxconn churns out '150,000' iPhone 5s a day

**********Tried to add them back in but failed

Huh ? Phones 3 years old, and it's getting a bit slow ? Wind up surely :) My Viewty from the same time is TRUELY a piece of junk compared to my iphone 4 now. Least they updated your iPhone. LG, I am talking to you.....never again......

Samsung must cough up Android prototypes to Apple

Galaxy S2 is already a has been

When I took a look at it, I thought, copy of iphone 4, boring, nothing new here, typical pound shop "Transroboformation" copy of the branded stuff.

Real shame they don't want to push themselves into doing something new that means they look distinctive.

Ahh well.

Multi-touch iMacs prepped in Cupertino?

and the answer is...

this is excellent for a muscian, lovely control interfaces a plenty tied directly into your DAW on a big 27inch touchscreen ? Awesome.

LG touts 'surprisingly productive' iPad killer

the reason for an ipad.....

so, for years I have been using pcs, buidling them, downloading 'err found' copies of windows as I couldn't afford them, enjoying adding bits and bobs to them, new cards, new drivers.

4 years ago I bought a mac mini, as I wanted a little computer and it seemed to be what I needed. Since then, not bothered about going back to a PC. Love my little mini, still going strong now. Couldn't see any point to an ipad though. Why would I have it over a laptop????

4 years ago I still had a crappy basic phone, then 2 weeks ago I bought an iphone 4. Since then, I have used the internet on the mini about once or twice, rest of the time it's been on the iphone. Why? Well, my mini runs my media centre, and using it as a computer stops that happening.

NOW I know why I would want an ipad. One of those doing everything my iphone does, but bigger, with the mini running the big stuff, and there with the monitor for when I want to use photoshop, etc, blinding. Sat on the couch, controlling my mini, watching films, while checking out IMDB and facebook updates. Brilliant.

Can't afford one now I have an iphone. But hell if I had the money I would get one. Things don't need to do everything, they just need to do a few things bloody well.

P.S.

Happily editing my homebrew role-playing game (paper and dice) on documents to go. That last just to confirm my geek non-fashionable status ;)

Apple releases multi-touch 'magic' trackpad

want one

really like the idea and look of this, price is a bit extreme, but seeing I am a mug and paid out for the matching keyboard already........ would love to get rid of my mouse when using my mini.

Makes even more sense for the fact I use it as a tv tuner/media centre thing, a lot easier to use on your knee on the couch than a mouse!

Apple iPad – the 'Tickle Me Elmo' of 2010

@DZ-Jay

completly agree, other half has a macbook which she uses to use the net, listen to music on itunes and watch films. The only thing she can't do on the ipad is watch dvds, everything else and an ipad is perfect. And she wants one.

Of course, I want her to get one, as I want her macbook..... I mean that with a grin, but in truth I would much rather have the macbook and her the ipad. And it REALLY doesn't matter to her that the macbook can do more.
