Vinyl-fetish hipsters might just have a point

I go to a lot of record fairs and trade a good amount of vinyl and the 'scene' doesn't really have any hipsters. It's overwhelmingly men over 40 who just love everything about vinyl which is very collectible.

Two years after Steve Jobs' death, how's that new CEO working out?

Apple are set to release a new OS called Sanctimony and become an official religion by 2017.

Could someone 'hack' the Register website and bring it into this century, it's an example of web 1.0.

Re: People have no self respect

I've encountered several people who have quit jobs because they were shouted at once, all of them were a bit wet and precious while being of average ability with no social skills themselves.
