Re: Ooooh, new versions.

Good. Hopefully they can target offers to me that I will appreciate. Much like the corner grocers of old.

Amazon is decompiling our apps in security gaffe hunt, says dev

I don't see any shock in that. He's just relating events to help others.

He never said, nor is it implied in his post, that he is upset. -1 for believing journo spin

Read the blog

Go read the blog, elReg even linked it for you despite totally misrepresenting it. The guy makes no complaint. It's a simple statement of facts for the education of others. There is no frowning, or complaining about Amazon's actions within it.

Microsoft parades Windows 8.1, the version you may actually want

Re: Start Icon != Start Menu. This the problem.

"But that does not gives you a start menu. It gives you an ugly collection of square blotches of color, which appear to represent applications"

Tbh, that's basically what the Start Menu does, and it does in a little fraction of the screen with small writing.

For reference, I use Win7+8 and don't have any skin in the arguement.

Google to bring Raspberry Pi to Bash Street

Re: 100 teachers over 3 years?

Oh bugger off. Seriously. It's not their job to educate the entire UK. It's a great program and if other people did it you'd hear about that too. But they're not so +1 for Google.

Re: The BBC as ever has got wrong

Dole Office staff snooped into private data 992 times in 10 months

Re: 992 times

ICO mulls stiffer probe into Google Street View Wi-Fi slurp

Re: Its more than just the SSIDs How is this all so wrong?

It was broadcasted, hence meant for everyone.

Chrome beats IE for a weekend

Re: Chrome - the anti-drone?

@AC, you've mistaken the point. The point wasn't "why do they use IE at work" but "why do people who use IE at work come home and use Chrome, instead of a mixture of Chrome, FireFox, Safari etc."

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.
