Better than that - I hear of a chap having an affair with one of the plod's partners while plod is currently sat in a cramped cabin on a cruise ship in port (not the one with tweetie pie on the side).

$3.2bn Apple deal would make hip-hop mogul Dr Dre a BEEELLLIONAIRE

Not the technology

The chaps at Beats are VERY good at getting their products on celebrities (given free if not actively paid to sport them as they exit that jet/team coach). And that's pretty much half or 3/4 of the game.

Headphones are wearable, the same as a watch, which is why I'd hazard a guess Apple really could do with their know-how.

In terms of audio tech there is already better much lower hanging fruit (mentioned above). But that probably isn't the priority.

Paris, because she's a celeb too!

Spain clamps down on drones

No exactly shocked

Spain is strangled by a centralized "can't do" government restricting abortion, referendums, etc.

Drones fitted with cameras could help uncover all sorts of dodgy behaviour by our politicians and royals. So that's a ban then.

Hope this doesn't negatively impact your most excellent "Clicks" guided projects.

'Leaked' iPhone 6 pics will make cool fanbois WEEP - it's a PHABLET

Revelation from the East from the poorly travelled

Coming from iPhone obsessed Hipsterville (not Eastbourne) I was really surprised to see so many chicks with big android mobiles in Singapore. One of the local owners explained to me that the females out there are addicted to Korean TV soaps which they love to watch on their mobiles on public transport, and that those discrete iPhones were no good (I guess they are subtitled or something).

Returning to the pics, I doubt the images are genuine, but I doubt the Apple Genies would want to exclude potential iTunes customers because they failed to adapt to a different market.

Apple patents facial recognition tech for mobile log-in

Amazing

Getting a patent for something you obviously can't get to work. A parasite on innovation.

Re: Wrong, but not ridiculous?

"A cyclist going at 35 km/h (we are not talking Tour de France here) that's 21.5 g/km per person (without emissions from food production, etc., unlike the bike side claims)."

I'm not sure I'd manage a steady 35km/h - I'm probably ambling making about 15km/h through the city. Maybe you are wasted in front of computer and a career in cycle couriership might be beckoning.

Google to open flagship retail stores by end of 2013

Obviously they'll have their work cut out to compete with magnetically attached power plugs, unique rounded corners, etc, but I admire their indefatigabilty.

Re: @ taxman - Anything but Unity

The pictured phone in the bbc article looks very much like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I have in front of me now - a device I am perfectly happy with.

@Andreas, I'm not sure if you are suggesting the phone doesn't exist, or that there is no evidence of which devices are proposed other than the Canonical supplied photo.
