Apple iTunes Store goes '100% DRM-free' - allegedly

Ummm....

I found this confusing.

Are they saying that I can get DRM free music if I sign up for I-Tunes Plus only (thus reducing how much I can store on my I-Pod due to bit rate, as I'll be forced to re-download my tracks at a more bloated file size)?

Why can't I just "update" my library to DRM free music?

Oh wait, becuase some cracker will work out how to do it for free and they will loose money . . . . .

Let some Hollywood celeb (correctly) release a personal sex tape along the same lines, and it'll smash this record.

Get it right, butt-mucher.

Totally Scott-Lee . . . .

. . . people watched that and complained about the swearing? How about the fact that the show was dreadfully shite!! How many complained about that?!

Bring back Tom Green humping a dead moose.

ISS toilet spares stowed and good to go

This sounds . . .

. . . . like a big job for NASA. Glad the mission hasn't been poo-poohed by the top brass.

Fujitsu Siemens pitches Eee-style sub-notebook at pros

I'd be interested . . .

Be good to look at some more specs on it as well.

Fook me, are they still around?!?!?

I still remember their clunky machines in our school library! (Circa 1993)

Text-to-pee service launched

But . . . .

What if you've been out on the lash, loose your wallet and end up spending the last of your phone credit going for a wee.

It'll be like that bloke who got locked in the loo for all them days.

Seriously - Winhoo's 2009 by Moo!

A year has gone by . . . .

"A year has gone by, and the competitive situation has not improved"

Read between the lines, and it sounds like Microsoft are almost saying "we need your help [against Google] and are prepared to pay for it"

US navy electro-cannon test successful

Ok . . . .

For "home secutiry" purposes naturally.

Everex targets Eee PC with higher spec mini laptop at same price

@Tim Parker

Wow, that'll learn me to research before making that sort of comment.

But if it's running Linux too ....

.... wouldn't you be able to just trash thegOS and put Ubuntu on instead?

Polish teen derails tram after hacking train network

@Worrying

Perhaps it just looked like a TV remote, and actually used a wireless signal instead? Send the right signal to change the track.

I'll be struck dumb if they do use IR to change track points.

Office update disables MS files

Erm, hang on a sec . . .

. . . . If I'm reading this and the KB article correctly, it's saying that if you use Office 2003, and patch it to SP3 . . . . you get locked out of it's own files.

wtf?

I bloody well hope that when SP3 for XP comes out, you don't re-boot and get told "This OS has been deemed unsafe, and therefore locked. Please install Linux"

I think the bods at Microsoft have been over indulging on the Brandy & Sherry this xmas.

BBC redesigns and 'widgetizes' homepage

Did anyone notice . . .

. . . . how the blog URL comically got snipped?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2007/12/a_lick_of_paint_for_the_bbc_ho.html

Glad to see our ho's are getting treated well!

@Dave Cozens

If you use the "customise homepage" button at the top, you can untick CBeebies.

On another thought, I wonder how the new page is going to cope with companys that have their users locked out with Websense et al.

Is this a "proper" conservative website? I only ask, as they seem to have a sense of humor:

NASA: no fix needed for shuttle

Prepare . . . .

Romanian cops cuff drunk, naked, handless driver

To answer the"how did he open the door" question

You can get those keys that allow the door to open automatically when your in range. The new Mini Cooper (Built by BMW) has this function if your willing to pay £900 for it (which I didn't)

There, issue solved.

Oh hang on, where did he hang the key?

Asus shows off bamboo-clad 'eco' laptop

Fire proof!

Bamboo doesn't combust as easily, so you're bound to get a few more hours battery life out of the laptops before they explode violently.

Oh hang on, that's bad. . . . .
