McAfee downplays service pack fail

rendering a computer un-bootable makes its about as secure as it can be. Good job McAfee, sounds like the perfect product, stopping virus propagation in its tracks :)

Microsoft Songsmith ad trumps Seinfeld shocker

audio

Gavin/Mary you got to do some post production work on the sound for these radios sessions. Recording from a skype call on pc speakers don't quite cut the mustard. Fatigue cuts in real quick listening to this scratch.

Google: The Satan Phone cometh

I'm Excited

Comonn Guys and Gals

Lets pan back a bit and think about this in a wider context of the future of hand held devices. I for one am happy to see this platform beginning, an am excited to think about the future of devices in 3-5 years, if this is what we get from a gen 1 product.

So many of you just chime in with such shite small minded observations. Sure, there will be things that may mean *you* don't buy this particular handset, but lets look at the big picture [for a change]...

Google unfurls less laughable Wikipedia

Yay, more ads on the net, just what we need...

Its just an ad serving system. Googoil will allow Knol writers to run ads on their entries and will share income with them.

Europe loves HD TVs - but not HD broadcasts

HD V's SD

In my opinion AD is no where near BD, and only slightly better than CD. My mate and I were watching some DD last night and agreed ED was all over FD. GD is old school compared to HD which has clearly fake ID especially after a bit of JD. KD languishes behind colorful LDs but you can beat the surgical accuracy of MD. ND wont tell us much for fear of OD. PD is download-tards. QD? Never heard of it. RD is better for rural folk, where SD is just fine for urban dwellers. TD, which was displaced when UD got VD, must be remembered here of course. WD is good on computer based systems including the XD. YDo we have so many formats? Its all about $D.

PH - Because that's one combo I'll remember.

First public Firefox 3 candidate shoots out the door

So yesterday, Firefox updates to shiny new 3. Cool, works well, though i lost a few add ons. As I leave the office, my old mate Bill told me he was going to "Automatically" update my windows. OK i say. The this morning, I come in and open up Firefox to be told i have been update to the latest shiny version; 2.0.0.14 and all my add ones are back?

Huh?

PH coz thats just how i feel.

Captain: Its great isn't it number 1, to get rid of that. All that rubbish was getting a little stinky. Just think, in a few hours time it will be pulverized at 10,0000 degrees over the pacific.

1st Mate: Sure it amazing. Say can I have a look at that old book?

Captain: Sure sonny, where did you put it?

1st Mate: I thought you grabbed it...

How can you argue about accuracy when you are not even using the correct units of measurement.

"ATLAS's role is to measure particles produced in proton-proton collisions within its 7000 tonne, 28,750 cubic metre bulk packing 100 million sensors."

Should read

"ATLAS's role is to measure particles produced in proton-proton collisions within its 1666.6667 Kilo Jubs, 49916660.8792 bulgarian funbags - (C Cup Posh Spice bulk) packing 100 million sensors."

Please pay attention to the details guys!!
