UK waves £45m cheque, charges scientists with battery tech boffinry

Re: Nurture

urm.. you just described the tax system.

Boeing-backed US upstart reckons it'll be building electric airliners

All these people saying that it couldn't work because the current energy density of batteries is far lower than plane petrol. It's pretty windy at 40,000ft, have you considered that they may fit the thing with wind turbines?

I'll get my coat.

Trane thermostat is a hot spot for viruses on home networks

who opens their ports up to the internet?

Any well made piece of IoT tat would push-pull information from a central server?

EE launches 150Mbps '4G+' in the heart of London

I left EE for Three a month ago when I came... out of contract.

and haven't really regretted it. Still sucks at peak times in central London, but unlimited 4G on three swug the deal for me (30 day contract)

EE are really arrogant, which isn't attractive, they said my contract would continue at the same price... even though it was 2 years and included a phone (S3).

I bought a Note 3 unlocked because I needed it for research (just like the G Watch R that I have just got)... blah..blah

I'd be fine with 3G speeds on any network that actually worked reliably! That said, three is on the whole better and more reliable than EE, especially as I get the train down from Kettering regularly and with EE I only got data at Bedford station. With three I get it for more of the journey which means more work... sad little 6ft panda that I am.

30 day contract, so I am free to be whatever I want to be.

Anyway, I could do with a job as an Android developer... any takers? Nah, didn't think so, guess I will just keep plying my trade on Google Play selling my own software... blah.. too much beer tonight.

Galaxy Note

Re: Galaxy Note

I've got the note 3 and GS3, I use them both for beta testing app dev and the Note3 is fantastic, but a little heavy after awhile. I even can now use it one handed (even in the massive rubber case I have for it).

Scammed by Simply Electronics

Re: Scammed by Simply Electronics

It's amazing that they are still going, if they were in the UK they'd be shut down for misleading information.

I don't know if they still do, but they used to advertise as being in the UK with fake addresses. People also sometimes get stung for VAT and import duty, which makes the "great prices" not so great.

That explains why I can't post a new topic

Why do women pick IT as a career ?

I think this is probably the main reason. Most mathematical people seem to be on the spectrum and as a child were probably on their ZX Spectrum.
