US Navy blasts drones with ship-mounted LASER CANNON

What's stopping people from simply spraying the underside of planes a nice shade of silver?

Don't know what sort of power you'd need for burning into reflective coatings but it would surely be more than this thing?

Apple wins second round of Samsung patent slugfest

There's no hope for the izombies

Apple may as well not bother next time round and just release a monochrome screened, camera-less handset like the 6210, as long as it has the branding "iphone 6", it'll fly off the shelves :D

iPhone 5: skinny li'l fella with better display, camera, software

Re: Definite day 1 purchase

I don't think chrome is jelly bean and also needs to load images from the net rather than local storage, hence not as quick.

HTH

Apple's iPhone 5 connector said to be a control freak

Re: Still don't see the point of MicroUSB...

"It doesn't do half of the things Apple's connector does: analog audio, component/composite video, VGA, car interface. Analog audio+charging being quite useful to simply connect it to the car via a single cable."

Analog audio? Bluetooth

Component/composite video? 1XMicro USB -HDMI

VGA? Again. 1XMicro USB -HDMI, same adaptor, because everything in the real world uses HDMI now.

Car Interface? Again. Bluetooth with AVRCP

"It even has a TTL-level serial port for the hobbyists among us. Plus extra paths for whatever the future holds.."

You see the problem with apple's connectors and the "future" is that if anything, history has shown us that apple connectors HAVE no future, It'll change within 2 years.

So why does it not do half the things that apple's connector does, Because it doesn't have to, mmkay?

Would rather have universal connectors and radio signal for my stuff as then I'm not tied to one manufacturer.

Oh yeah, AND I don't have to buy loads of adaptors to make it work. ;D

Bomb threat lobbed at Finnish anti-piracy squad

It's coming........................

It may become illegal to own any kind of personal storage.

And it's totally do-able what with higher mobile BB speeds and ever increasing cloud networks.

All traffic can be filtered and streamed as required, already happening on a small scale innit.

I blame itunes for that, Probably not all their fault but it certainly made people at ease with on demand online music.

Official: The smartphones that suck much more than others

maybe a terrible isp or maybe collectively.

Don't think my phone will get near 1.6MB/s anytime soon, so my broadband has nothing to worry about from a single phone.

But with "phones", hmm, all tied together, maybe.

Apple's TV killer 'on shelves by summer 2012'

What with freeview gaining mass, also ps3 and smart tv sets getting online playbacks, I'm wondering what apple will have to offer over what is already around us.

Even youview from talktalk seems it'll be giving us a product that we already have (freeview and online players), but with additional tv archive access which is the elite selling point, but you will need to pay monthly subscriptions for that bit.

I do wonder If anyone will care about merging everything into one unit with one controller for a price, That's all I really see it as.

And how much more will these 37"apple tvs cost over a 50" lg that can do everything except the unwanted apple part?
