Who wants SLEEP DEPRIVATION for Christmas?

Re: Backlight levels

There's an app called "Screen Filter" (aka "Darker") on Android. Have a look if there's similar for iPad.

BEST EVER broadband? Oh no you DIDN'T, Sky – ad watchdog

For the record ASUS routers with the Merlin firmware work a treat with Sky Fibre. Lots of Google-able guides for "asus merlin sky". Billion routers are also fine with stock firmware.

Pre-ordered a Microsoft Surface? So SORRY it's late, have a voucher

Mine still not here

I ordered one through work and still no sign of it but I got the £50 voucher. Tomorrow is the final delivery date I guess.

Sophos dangles free Android antivirus to tempt BYOD-friendly biz

Check facts people

A lot of hot air in this thread (all threads to be fair), and obviously none of you have bothered to try the app or look into the info on their website before posting.

1. I've been running Sophos beta on my old one-core Motorola Milestone. No performance hit detected so stop with the "needs quad core" bullshit.

2. It defaults to update via wi-fi only so stop with the eating into 3G plans bullshit.

3. You're welcome to run no AV on your devices.

One For All SV9380 Freeview HD indoor aerial

No antennas involved I hope!

The plural of antenna in the broadcasting sense is antennas, not antennae. Antennae are what insects have.

I know, I'll get my coat.

Star Wars set for 3D rehash

No 2D Blu-Ray release coming then?

Does this mean that the BD release will be delayed so that he can release a 3D-BD version? Who am I trying to kid? He'll release both of course.

When my son's old enough for the films I'm only showing him IV,V and VI any way. The other three were toilet and I'd rather watch Ewok Adventure again than those.
