Daniel Craig like Connery, Skyfall helmsman suggests

Re: Opinion alert

Rog's movies also had the best cheesy dialog ever. In TSWLM opening sequence at the ski lodge: Babe: "But James, I need you", JB: "So does England". Classic.

Apple's secret outsource: 'Even more software to be made in India'

But *our* corporations rely on *our* markets to sell the majority of their wares. How many plazzy tellys do they sell in the Caymans?

Charge an import tariff based on domestic/foreign content.

Tax increase passed onto the consumer? So what? No-one is forcing the consumer to buy the crap.

Space: 1999 returning to TV?

UFO was far better

Had much better vehicles,the groovy purple wigs, hot moon babes and did I mention the vehicles? Moonbase interceptors, SkyDiver, the mobiles, the UFOs themselves. All done with miniatures, the effects hold up today even if some of the dialog doesn't ("Don't panic, Alec!"). I met Ed Bishop, who played Cmdr. Straker, at an Anderson convention in Bradford. Very nice bloke, although he passed a few years ago.
