Imbecile.
1. This is a bootnotes article, always irreverent humour, often not involving tech. If you don't like the mix of humour and news on the Reg, why come here. You must of realised by now, this what they do.
2. Holding up the Daily Mail as a comparison, makes YOU look like a cock.
@hoola, I agree. The wish fulfillment of a few posters that have installed Linux on a Laptop is laughable.
I was a contractor at one point working back-fill, the clients were mostly large enterprises. Every single one of them (30+) ran a windows server infrastructure, AD, Exchange, MS SQL, .net applications, new and old web app running on IIS. Most used Linux and Apache for websites, and not much else.
I honestly have no interest in the Windows/Linux debate, I use both. But the claims that MS server is going down the pan and everyone is living in a Open Source Server Utopia is straight up deluded, tedious fanboy ravings from people who clearly haven't worked in the enterprise space.
Yet another DevOps article. Jaw cracking yawn. Faced with a void of disinterest each and every one.
My utter cynicism indicates that this tiresome buzzword is nothing more than a marketing term for tempting management clowns into wasting time and money.
Give it a rest eh?
1. Download and Install updates is already the default, 99% of the public won't have changed this. They won't notice a difference, or care.
2. Having a unpatched machine will cause just as many issues as the occasional bad patch will cause.
3. Anyone reading this forum will no doubt find a way to bypass this feature easily.
4. The shrieking hysterics of this non issue is baffling. Really? This is a reason for not upgrading? This?
Give it fucking rest already.
".as opposed to predictable sheep like yourself, who peddle their unfounded prejudices without a moment's hesitation for rational thought. Well done, anonymous bottom feeder."
The fact that you refuse admit any failing on Apple's part, ever, just makes you a blinkered shill. You probably have shares.
Don't worry though, I'm sure the deluded clowns that buy these products will lap them up.
Conversely, I would like to see a great deal more passive aggressive snide aimed at Apple, and also at the pitiful clowns that purchase any old crap that they produce.
The Reg has never been balanced and fair, and has always been about mocking hubris. No idea what fairy land you thought you had been visiting.
Can you believe it, the great David Gale (?) warned Microsoft in writing 4 years and they chose to ignore this prophet.
1. You can sync SMS so the messages are included in your exchange mailbox, thus giving you a convenient SMS archive. People hate this turned on however.
2. Available as a 3rd party application only as yet.
3. Of course you can search your Exchange Mailbox, not sure how you missed this.
I really hope you don't test things for a living!
I've used the mozilla/google homepage for a decade, Mozilla get a cut from that. I certainly don't begrudge it.
Just bored of change for changes sake. Seeing the last 10 pages I visited when opening a new tab is not at all useful, i have to squint to even make out what most of them are.
To this day i still type in well used url's, letting autocomplete or history take care of typos. No doubt Google or some other bunch (of c**ts) will find a reason to remove ALL unseemly text from the browsers.
"Otherwise maybe they should also have say polygamy, scat, bondage, and bestiality preferences?"
I'd deffo play that version. And make it part of the school curriculum just to annoy sanctimonious Mary Whitehouse types like you.
You and Nintendo can suck my cock. We'll motion capture it and release a game.
So those dolts at HP thought that a yearly profit of £105.7m was worth purchasing Autonomy for $10.24bn?
Doesn't matter if Autonomy actually made £19.6m or a tenner, there isn't a word to describe the overpayment of the purchase. Look at them, scrabbling to shift the blame. Pathetic. How many HP workers ended up getting shitcanned for this idiocy?
Management make a galactic size catastrofuck, lose $10bn. Useless CEO is replaced by useless CEO who orders massive layoffs.
Honestly, what a bunch of fucks.
“This collaboration celebrates our relationship and shared foundation in design and craftsmanship. We have a mutual passion for creating beautiful products and unlocking emotive experiences through technology, which has made it intensely exciting to explore the capabilities of iPhone 5s,” gushed Christopher Bailey, Burberry chief creative officer.
I'm not a religious man. However, I'll be asking god to drop a piano out of the sky directly on this pompous cretins head.
From his statement you would have thought Burberry and Apple were responsible for the Taj Mahal and the Pyramids, instead of some overpriced rags and a naff gadget.

Despite the evidence you continue your anti PS tirade. Your 'extensive expirience'? Consultant?
Don't make me laugh, as you seemingly no nothing about working in a Gov IT deparment, i suspect you are nothing more than a Salesman.
Begging for contracts, desperate to flog the latest shiny tech. And then fucking everything up like the majority of projects outsourced to private companies.
Your further anonymous posting confirms how clueless you are. You think being an IT worker in the private sector automatically gifts you a dream job at 100k a year? Stupid and naive.
PS/Civil workers being paid less is a myth, on average they are paid more. Add to this shorter working hours, better holidays, flexitime, TOIL and a pension.
The drawbacks? Little or no overtime and you are never going to be a millionaire.
Read this, it might help you to stop looking so stupid next time you decide to open your ignorant fucking mouth.

I worked in the private sector for many years, lining some fat fucks pocket. Bored of the greed, I accepted a PS role, got a big pay bump, and have my life back. And I can never be shit-canned like those blameless HP workers.
@Lusty
It seems you are one of those people who's job consists of going to meetings, giving presentations, and inputting data for reports nobody will ever read.
We have many people at my workplace that complete these dubious tasks. We have no idea what their purpose is or why they are paid comparably to skilled engineers.
Productive work is done on a desktop/laptop, no amount of prancing around with a tablet will change that.

Is the reviewer perhaps the hidden love child of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook. Spawned in the Apple Labs. Home schooled using only SIRI and Apple products, no sense or knowledge of any other technology. The iClone LIVES!
The worst review I've ever read -
1. Grovelling indroduction
2. Foaming at the gash about the appearance.
3. Ignoring massive flaws.
4. End.
That had no place on this site, it was a essentially a review about what a phone case looked like. Do your readers a favour Reg, execute the simpering idiot who wrote the review, then delete any reference to him from your archives.
You surely do have more mapping options. It's just the default iphone map app, that most Apple uses will use is the crap new one.
Most Apple uses have been brainwashed to accept what they are given, they wouldn't have a clue how to use a different system. "I don't want to know how it works, I don't want to mess around, my iPhone just works!" squeals the Apple user.
So thanks to this philosophy, Apple now have a userbase that is mostly incompetent and unwilling to learn anything about the devices they use. Unable to find their arses with both hands, they will wave their $600 mistake at anyone with half a brain shouting "MAPS BROKEN!"
Stop trying to spin these failures Frank, it make you look like a moron.
Any delays were due to Apple trying to finalise patents on the following -
1. Moving objects from one part of the world to another.
2. The process of creating seemingly random connectors for devices (this involves rolling 2 dice, snake eyes gets your new iPhone a parallel port).
3. Air.
Sadly, only one was granted -
Concocting a tsunami of bullshit that convinces the idrones to buy the same tired product for the 5th year running.
"and you know the performance of this phone's CPU how?"
The CPU performance is perhaps your only stab at making this aged and bland product relevant.
All the hype, the endless wittering of Apple users, months upon months of it. And the result of all of this is?
You get one extra line of icons.
@FrankAlphaXII
American Soldier? So what. Citizens of your county might get all misty eyed and start weeping when 'our boys in the military' are mentioned, not so much over here.
Arming countries in turmoil then blowing the shit out of them a decade later doesn't speak to me of any clear forethought or wisdom.
Not saying those regimes didn't need to go, but take a look at your own now and again. Assange is an asshole granted, but look how easily he's made your paymasters look impotent. I fear that's the reason they want him.
