Facebook sharpens ad-shifting tool: Soon users will eat creepily SPECIFIC ad-gloop

little hint to facebook

I'm never interested in any ads. At all.

Cisco email accidentally sent to 1000s of employees causes message list MAYHEM

"At that point four million emails had been sent, generating over 375GB of network traffic".

I make that 94Mb per email.

Hmmm....

Nokia's 41Mp Lumia 1020 'launches' in UK - but hoi polloi must wait

Only one problem

It's a winphone. I'd definitely buy it if it was an Android phone. Seriously. But with windows on it, I'm not remotely interested.

New iPhones: C certainly DOESN'T stand for 'Cheap'

I found the innovation!

"plus a flash with two LEDs – one cold, one warm – that can choose from 1,000 possible color temperatures to best match the environment" - that's the only bit that's an actual innovation that I can see.

So it's still too small, too expensive, and iOS is still too much like all the previous versions.

Pass.

Get rid of your eye-phone then and get something usable.

Rural Broadband Network

You might be interested to to read about a project a friend of mine set up. She found funding from the Rural Broadband Network and set up her own not-for-profit to get decent internet by microwave to homes and businesses in Kinlocheil. - http://locheilnet.co.uk/

iPhone 5S: 64-bit A7, 128GB storage, flashy ƒ/2.0 camera, and...

nice but...

Will it still be too small? Have an outdated, basic, yet oddly frustrating to use UI? Lack of any useful settings or configuration options? Lack the ability to easily see what hardware elements are enabled (and eating therefore battery)?

I bet it will.

You can talk hardware all you like. Put iOS on it and I'll never be interested, unless Apple actually do some innovating for once.

This is not the daily mail:

Please elaborate on 'technology'.

Inventor lobs spherical, throwable camera

Name

I read that twice as 'Squinto'.

The video shows it to be a much more sophisticated device than I'd thought it was from the article. Also, he has a really cool 'I'm an inventor'-looking workshop.

Good luck to him.

Re: Increased energy density leads to increased risk

Except even the best batteries today only have the same energy density as a bar of chocolate, and I can't remember the last time a dairymilk exploded in my pocket.

Another day, another 'breakthrough battery technology' that will never make it to market.

Three's mobile data goes titsup in mysterious spreading outage

Started yesterday

Died in Glasgow City Centre at about 22:00 last night. Thought it might be a local mast thing but was still borked when I got home, and this morning, and now. It was patchy at first, but as the article states, it seems to be spreading to other masts, probably due to them trying to handle the extra load?

Shame el-reg has sharing options from 2005 so I can't easily +1 or post it on G+. :/

Your Flying Car? Delayed again, but you WILL get it, says Terrafugia

No

The only way anything like this will ever work will be if they manage to invent a low-power anti-gravity technology. Until then, it will be too expensive, too heavy, too powerful and too much can go wrong for it to be mass-market.
