Ten reasons why you shouldn't buy an iPhone 5

Reason 6a John Bentley likes it!

Have you ever watched the tram smash that is a tech review on C5s the Gadget Show? Well, if not I think you'll be truely enlightened by watching Mr John Bentley test anything with an iPhone for comparison and then seeing him award 5Gs to the iPhone. Even in a scuba gear test!

It is truely mind blowing how badly this entertainment show can veer off track when his bulk is involved.

Sorry, a bit annoyed. Had a phone comparison flashback.

Life-size Lego assault rifle really works

I'm so sad

I just watched this and clapped with delight! My wife just shook her head and looked disapprovingly at me. Oh well, back to You Tube & FPS Russia.

Johnson!

Tee hee, you wrote "and a snap of a recovering Johnson here"!

HTC to follow LG with 3D smartphone

Silly

I can't see this as being anything other than a gimick on such a small screen. Long term, no future for 3d smartphones in their current design.

HTC U-turns over Desire Android 2.3 update

Still not enough for me

I'm seriously thinking about going down the mod route as I don't really rate the whole Froyo + Sense mash up anyway. "My Desire" (to quote Electric Six) is playing up badly too many times at the mo'.

I keep finding the backlight won't stay on properly, it keeps dropping my email setup, the memory gets hogged by background apps I don't want running AND the bloody HTC & Google location services keep coming on when I've disabled or force closed them. Ras'n'fras'n'HTC'n'Google'n'thing!

BUT I"LL NEVER GET AN EYEFONE!! Sorry about that. It's not an Apple thing it's a something else thing. Apps n such. I hate paying for things that everyone else can get for free.

I'm from Yorkshire, wadda you expect.

Cabinet Office talks to Facebook & co about new ID system

I can't wait to put my trust in their hands

Fantastic! The whole idea of giving some corporate entity real control over my ID is really exciting. I'm looking forward to the day the UK Gov gives all our ID data to an offshore organisation based in a nation that doesn't respect international boundaries or agreements. I'm simply limp with delight at the prospect.

Roll on becoming citizens of CorpCo, you're friendly and trustworthy companion.

Apple 'spaceship' awaits landing clearance in Cupertino

Sycophants!

Anyone else notice how easy it is for Apple to simply say that they ARE going to do something in Cupertino as opposed to to ask IF they can do something in Cupertino?

Also his assertion that an increase of 20% in the working population on that site is small is plain wrong. It's an extra 2000 people a day, twice a day. Even with busses and bikes that is a lot of extra people all going on to one site every day.

Ooh, ooh, ooh Steve! Notice me!! ME, STEVE, ME!!
