Billionaire Zuckerberg kills to eat

Surely..

..to be able to have the time to do this, you'd have to be super, super rich though?

HANG ON A MINUTE

McKinnon's mum applauds Obama extradition stance

Since you mentioned it..

"..the guy who said Britain was 'just another country" - it is.

["returned the bust of Churchill" - admittedly I don't know anything about that, so I won't comment]

"gave Brown US region dvds" - quick, call Interpol for this crime against humanity! Then show Brown how to make his DVD player multi-region.

"gave the Queen an iPod" - ..and?

"threw Israel under a bus full of suicide bombers" - ridiculous hyperbole, especially when you ask what Bush ever did to help the Middle East peace process.

"allows TSA to molest children and grandmas" - more hyperbole

"STILL has Manning locked in a hole" - you'd rather he was executed? Manning is being made an example of and rightly so, although I do disagree with the extremity of it. Still, it's not exactly setting up Guantanamo Bay is it? Who did that again?

"hides his past" - he does? He's written two biographies, exposed the fact that he has a part-Muslim background and still won the election, released his birth certificate - what more do you want?

"bows to Saudis" - what are you citing? And who are you citing as a better example? Do you remember when Blair asked for an investigation into BAE to be dropped?

"starts yet another war in Libya" - he did? Because I was under the impression that Cameron has had to cajole Obama into publicly supporting intervention in Libya at nearly every opportunity

"drones, invasions of sovereign countries etc..." - Far less than Bush has ever done. Oh and by the way, did anyone tell you that they got Bin Laden?

"The man is a bastard in the worst way" - You mean that? You really mean that? Worse than rapists? Worse than murderers? Worse than Manson? Worse than Bush? Worse than Nixon?

"His Presidency is on his own side - no one else no matter how well he reads from TOTUS (Teleprompter Of The United States)." Have you taken your medicine? Who elses presidency should he be acting on? And whether you consider it a good or a bad thing, Obama is one of the best orators the White House has ever seen, often writing his own speeches and not using a teleprompter.

"I personally hope that the ghosts of past US presidents fuck with him at night in the White House".. er? It's time for your pills now, anonymous coward.

ASA smackdown for Yahoo! Thelma & Louise

I use BT Yahoo mail..

..and I never even noticed the advert. I wish that the ASA had actually investigated the adverts claims that the email service was in any way good, which is clearly false advertising.

Alpha.gov.uk – it's nearly a beta

For a second with that graphic and search bar..

..I thought I was looking at Bing.

Spotify's music manager makeover - does it work?

I noticed yesterday that for the first time..

..my advertising-paid-for free service was cut off as I've used my free 10 hours a month. Have they always done this? It's enough to turn me off the service altogether.

Microsoft resuscitates 'I'm a PC' ads to fight Apple

Trying.. to.. type..

..but cringing.. too.. hard..

Did PlayStation Network hackers plan supercomputer botnet?

No, not necessarily..

..but usually, or at the least, very often.

The namecalling didn't legitimise your argument much either.

Ohio cops taze naked marathoneer

If it had been a photo finish..

..between him and another runner, I wonder what part would have crossed the line first?

Love Bug malware-inspired film gets big screen premiere

I couldn't get through..

..that trailer. That film looks utterly, utterly poo.

From the people who brought you: Step Up 2?!

Libyan network hijacked for rebel cause

"But at least those wanting to speak to the rebels can give them a call..

..rather than relying on dropping spies from helicopters only for them to be captured by local farmers."

Comment of the day.

(These pages needs a 'Win' icon).

UK.gov uses purple-panted-berk to get 'young men' to do census

I wanted to be cynical

But the game's actually not that bad. There are plenty of worse Flash games out there.

Although whether it'll help at all with the Census is an entirely different matter - still got us talking about it today though didn't it? :)

Nokia launches new corporate font

As someone who lives near the area..

..I can confirm that this is the perfect place to launch some trendy, meaningless bullshit. Hipsters of the world - unite!

Charlie Sheen explodes onto Twitter

Sweet Jesus, what the HELL is he doing?

I mean, a cap on backwards Charlie - at your age?

Radiohead surprises fans with early online album release

Massive Radiohead fan..

..of pretty much everything they've done. This sounds less to me like a Radiohead album than a sequel to Thom Yorke's Eraser. Not that there would be anything wrong with the latter existing, but I expect a bigger sound from the full lineup. Saying that, I've only heard most of it through once, so if it's a grower then I'll be happy with that. I suppose as a self-proclaimed fan, they've already set the bar pretty high for me, and it'll be hard for them to top themselves.

(That was a little joke for the haters at the end there) :)

Gov will pay £2.25m compo to ID card suppliers

Thank you, Reg..

..for exposing the hypocrisy about this on Blunkett's part.

Radiohead goes out on a limb with 'newspaper album'

Not at all.

But please take the argument to a ridiculous extreme if you must anyway.

And again..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Rainbows#Critical_reception

Yes, you are right.

I mean, what did they do after The Bends?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Computer#Reception

Yes, but.

Oh, the cynicism! Like it or not, Radiohead have been one of the most experimental bodies - be it band or label - when it comes to distributing music since the internet so greatly changed the old model.
