Does it contain a couple of fans and ship with a tube of thermal paste?

Re: Sticks head above parapet...

I did a speedtest on O2 4G and was very impressed to see 42Mbps downstream. Less impressed with the 120Mb it took out of my measly half-gig monthly allowance in no time at all :(

Re: That's slightly more than the £7.3m the ad giant coughed up in 2011.

Re: Nothing to lose a license over...

It's dishonest. Anyone who's trained in a science will have had this drilled into them at uni and will be well aware. Dishonesty in a position of high responsibility is heavily frowned upon by the GMC, and rightly so.

Universal Credit CRUNCHED: Dole handouts IT system to be rebuilt

"Just saying "there aren't any jobs" and carrying on claiming is entirely the wrong attitude"

It's the truth though. Not everyone is intelligent or confident enough to do what you did. Years ago there were jobs out there for such people. Lots of people capable of decent manual jobs are left with nothing but society's scorn and benefits because all those jobs are now done abroad.

I never heard of anyone who wanted to be dependent on benefits in the long term. That's a tabloid myth.

Nokia drives cars into the clouds: Hear HERE, you're here, hear?

Re: while Google Maps can leave you lost in the wilderness when the signal disappears.

I'm going to leave my old Symbian Nokia in the car from now on, to use Ovi maps on the rare occasions I need satnav. My Samsung had an annoying "funny five minutes" recently when I asked Google Maps to guide me somewhere when the signal was crap. Backward step.
