Smartphones are ludicrously under-used, so steal their brains

Re: Love the gadgets but...

Just bought a Windows Lumia 435 - £20 - Seriously, say what you like about Windows phone but really this costs less than my wifes iphone monthly contract.I wanted offline maps and navigation with a bit of email and Spotify and thats it. I know I'm not the target market for the latest whizz bang product and Im not Snap Chatting or checking my Face book profile every 30s. But you're absolutely right, work out what you actually want from the device and then get that one that fits. If your're the kind of person that wants the thinnest/latest/fastest etc then great, fill your boots, but there are bargains out there.

Re: Small

Agreed.

The other half has dumped her Nexus and just loves the Chromebook. Upside is no maintenance from me and she can't break it. Downside is the clickety keyboard in bed whilst she plays the latest Facebook game tat.

I agree with your comments on Sky and struggle with the justification as its hellish expensive for the limited number of channels we watch. Unfortunately I have to answer to higher powers in the house. :(

What about subscription

There are a number of sites I regularly use and would be more than happy to contribute to the site development and maintenance by a moderate subscription. Why not let me have the choice to support the site AND get rid of Ads. What is frustrating is that on the sites I do subscribe to they still flog adverts at me and hence Adblock+.
