Lara Croft returns in next-gen Tomb Raider title

decent trailer?

it's crap! too long, too dull and sets nothing up for the game - all style and no substance - and the last game was shite - grand theft auto and call of duty set the levels these days and tomb raider now seems very 1990's.......

Xbox 360 sales reach Sony-smashing milestone

as much as i hate them....

the xbox is a great gaming machine...and yes, it's my 2nd one after the RROD. i paid £70 and they replaced in a few days, pretty happy really......

Amazon opens online Macware store

Remastered 4K, 3D Titanic steams towards cinemas

too hard

you'll all either lying or have no heart. i had a tear in my eye at the end of titanic, thought it was great cinema, just not a great film...should look great if they sort out the obvious cgi crew and the 'skating' issue.

and blade runner does need 5 minutes chopping off.....

Gates defends Ballmer's Skype gamble

Dropbox 'insecure and misleading' – crypto researcher

copyrighted material?

so how do they know which of their 25 million users has 'copyrighted' material then?

do they just run a massive search for mp3/mpeg etc files?

'Upgraded' Apple iMacs lock out hard drive replacement

ever heard of external drives?

you can get a 4TB external drive for about 50p, why would you want to piss about with the imacs internal drive?

ever heard of a warranty? if the hard drive fails, you send it back to apple and they fix or replace it.

why all the moaning?

Take-Two talent call betrays Grand Theft Auto V

nearly finished methinks...

gta 4 was out in 2008 and it takes years to develop these games so gta 5 must be almost complete, ready for an xmas 2011 or summer 2012 release. they're not gonna leave it any longer.

Apple MacBook Pro 13in

blu-ray maybe? eh?

oh course you want blu-ray on a portable machine. apple's reluctance to include it is pathetic and a blatant attempt to tie you into content from itunes. they made the same mistake with cd burners......and will regret it.

Dixons Advent Vega

lack of flash?

it comes with flash installed, it costs £249. how much is an ipad again?

horseshite....

I've had my vega for 3 months and love it...and I'm a loyal mac user. The ipad is more fluent but way too pricey and wall gardened.

Just spend £250, mod it in 5 minutes and enjoy. Even reg readers can manage that.

Marketplace is decent, there's loads of online support and it handles flash great. Just don't analyse it too much...i really love it.

Phantom Menace to be released in 3D next Feb

it wasn't filmed in 3d...

Samsung admits iPad 2 will be tough to beat

and it's great

i've got one, not perfect but bloody great for web surfing (with flash) email, films etc. not as fluid as the ipad but for £249, just get one, mod it (modaco.com) and enjoy....

Apple cuts iPad price

lord vega

Advent vega - I have one and am using it now, a great piece of kit for £249. Apple need to get the new ipad at £329 to show a bit of respect.

It's official: Nokia bets on Microsoft for smartphones

err.. M$ already has multimap....

hey nokia! -

microsoft doesn't need yer shite mapping service, they already own multimap, did they tell you that they'd use yours? oh dear...

and get a tablet out this year running....oh.....ok...maybe not....

Six... budget Blu-ray Disc players

got one

plays blu-rays great although some dvd's have been skipping even with a perfect disc. there's no downloadable updates yet even after several months. but it does play avi's off a usb stick too!

yeah, remote is decent too, for £59 it's worth a try...

Google Docs morphs into once and future 'GDrive'

t's & c's

"You will only upload, post, submit or otherwise transmit data and/or files: (i) that you have the lawful right to use, copy, distribute, transmit, or display; or (ii) that does not infringe the intellectual property rights or violate the privacy rights of any third party"

"Dropbox has adopted and implemented a policy that permits the deletion of files that violate this policy"

so how do they know if you hold any files that violate their policy without looking?

yep, dropbox is good..

but they'll remove you if you're sharing illegal stuff - so how do they know what stuff you have?

eh?

Flickr flap illuminates cloud concerns

what i don't get is..

surely flickr has a backup of a backup of the stuff that they host?

surely all cloud storage has several backups of backups in different locations with different passwords etc etc.....surely??

Flash versus HTML 5

agreed...

i'm a long time mac user but jobs is wrong on this one - a bit like cd burners and blu-ray on macs - apple should have phased out flash slowly, not just dumped it.

i've bought an advent vega tablet, it runs flash nicely and more importantly, it runs when i choose to run it in the browser - great, so i can choose to run flash or not.

this makes the ipad look daft, and overpriced.

apple could live to regret this decision. hopefully once jobs has gone, they will think again about flash and blu-ray......

Archos 101 8GB Android tablet

pretty good..

although still loving my advent vega....and it's £249...these 10" tablets are great and much better value than the ipad.

Facebook flick up for 8 Oscars, King's Speech for 12

err jema...

what the fook did you have for lunch?

was it just me?

or was the social network not that good - quite interesting for us geeks i suppose but for a mainstream audience? - a bloke sets up a website and has a bit of a tiff with some posh boys - and that's it.....

and justin timberlake just acts like himself in it...

Taiwan parts firms point to iPad 2 res rise

let's get this straight.....

a speculating mole possibly has some information about a higher res screen but you are "cautiously optimistic. The evidence for such a resolution hike is at best circumstantial"

hmm..

make a sentence out of the following words*

"we have no idea about the next ipad but like to put its name in articles because its the only product that people are actually interested in, and mentioning apple always causes a bit of a ruck"

*see, i've done it for you.

Amazon buys Lovefilm

got rid of it..

lovefilm was poor.

scratched discs, discs not turning up, wrong priority of films, next day delivery not happening and then discs not getting back to them.....ok, the royal mail has to take the blame on some but we were less than impressed......downloading from them may be a better option...anythings better than being tied to itunes.

Acer: tablets will replace netbooks

£500?

that's the silly ipad price - go and spend £249 on an advent vega running android, it's bloody great.

tablets are going to overtake but not replace netbooks, it's just 2 different markets and 2 different devices - there are things that the tablet will never do, but they are huge fun! go try...

Steve Jobs takes 'medical leave of absence' from Apple

he's not coming back...

but it is the daily mail....

The Social Network scoops four Golden Globes

is it just me?

or is the social network not that good or interesting?

the main blokes voice is so annoying and at the end of the day - it's a film about some geek setting up a website....thrilling....oh and justin timberlakes in it playing justin timberlake..

Dixons warns on crap Christmas

CES wrap: let the battle of the tablets commence

get yerself down pcworld....

spend £249 on an advent vega, mod it to get the full android experience with marketplace and then sit on the sofa and enjoy - i'm loving mine and using my mac and ipod touch much less.

the ipad is great to use but, as others have said, it lacks more than just flash and a decent price point...

NoTW editor suspended as phone-hacking stink persists

it's probably not, but would you be bothered if some stranger did this to your kids mobile?

Beastly Android will batter Apple's iOS beauty

"They do not want the mass market."

apple now sell their products in tesco and argos, they advertise on itv! - they didn't 10 years ago - you still think they don't want the mass market?

of course they do, they just want to offer nice looking products and charge a premium price.

i've been a mac user for years but am now enjoying an advent vega tablet running android for £249 and i can expand it and put on what i want - the ipad is simply overpriced, as are all mac models. £599 for a mac mini is a fooking disgrace.

apple are simply up to their old tricks again and will lose out in the long run to cheaper products that do an okay job....

Firefox ahead of IE in Europe, boosted by Chrome effect

Apple iPad vs... the rest

me too

In fact i'm using it to type this....it's great - not perfect but for £249 from pcworld, i cannot complain. And I'm a mac fan but the ipad is definately over priced.

Well impressed.
