Windows 8.1 start button appears as Microsoft's Blue wave breaks

Fuzzy Duck
Meh

except henry ford didn't say that

he said 'if i'd have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.'

ie. customers can't imagine something new until you show it to them. that's why the general public were lost without something familiar - the start button.

Google Chromebooks now in over 6,600 stores

Fuzzy Duck
Thumb Up

i've got one

the £229 samsung is great for basic web, email and watching stuff. yes, the screen is average but as a cheapo laptop it's great. you are, of course, tied into googles stuff but it's better than an ipad.

Apple's next OS X said to be targeted at 'power users'

Fuzzy Duck

Review: The ultimate Chromebook challenge

Fuzzy Duck
Thumb Up

i've got the samsung

and it's great - come on - it is what it is..great for surfing whilst sat in front of the telly. chrome os needs some tweaks but you get 100Gb of google space and its cheaper than a macbook air or ipad - and i'm a long time mac user but their prices are a joke.

Fuzzy Duck
Thumb Up

Re: LOVE THIS

it is what it is folks.

Fuzzy Duck
FAIL

been with them 3 months

the tivo stuff is quite good but in 3 months we've had broadband down to 1mb for 3 days (twice), a rented film stopped halfway through and reset, box reset due to slow menus and numerous network messages on screen.....oh and the telephone call charges ARE A COMPLETE RIPOFF!

other than than it's pretty good but i will look at bt at the end of my contract.

Fuzzy Duck
Happy

Re: Disappointing service

we were having the slow jerky menus issue. so i turned the box off and off at the back, waited the standard minute and it was much quicker when i re-started it.....

New Mac OS X: Mountain Lion roars at unauthorised apps

Fuzzy Duck

Simply awful

What the hell is this tosh?

Messages - like instant messenger then.

Gamecentre - seriously how many people use this?

10.7 looked pointless but this is even worse...

Fuzzy Duck
Meh

question..

Samsung outs MacBook Pro lookalike laptop

Fuzzy Duck
Go

steve wants you to buy all of your content, including hd, from itunes.

it's got nothing to do with blu-ray licencing.....it's also why apple are phasing out flash.

it's all part of apple's walled garden approach, which is why i've had enough of them..

Fuzzy Duck

Apple rumor mill predicts 'all new Mac'

Fuzzy Duck
WTF?

girl shmurl

he just has an opinion about crapple - that they are twats. just because you've all fallen for the shiny iphone does not make apple untouchable.

why can't we just stick to bashing apple like the good old days...any defence of apple should be banned on these forums or else i'll through my toast at the screen..

Fuzzy Duck
Stop

you are correct

worse thing they ever did was go to intel and allow windows on a mac, notice how their marketshare of pc's is flat, no matter what their figures suggest.

i've had 5 macs and would not touch another. the price and over-hype is now ridiculous....

sorry.
