Google robo-car in rear-end smash – but cack-handed human blamed

I'm guessing your question depends on whether these driverless cars over react in certain situations or respond that much more quickly than a human driver that the driver behind has significantly less time to react.

Trebles all round: The BBC's won this licence fee showdown

Well worth the money

I'm a huge fan of the BBC and feel that they create some of the best programming in the world.

Their coverage of events such as Wimbledon, the World cup, Glastonbury and the Proms, along with great programs such as Sherlock and Top gear (which whatever your view on the host, features some of the best cinematography outside of a David Attenborough nature documentary), and their excellent Radio stations (i'm a Radio 2 and 5Live man myself, but other stations are available) is unmatched.

That's not to mention their online presence which includes their amazing website and the fantastic iplayer.

All of this for the cost of 2 months of a sky subscription and without having to sit through masses of adverts every 10 minutes.

I think we're lucky to have the BBC and i'm happy to chip in my few quid to keep such a great service running

18 million iPHONE USERS HAVE NEVER BONKED to ApplePay

Not a bad start

5% of people using it in the first couple of months when it is only available at a relatively small number of stores and only in one country is really not a bad start, and i'd imagine it is significantly higher that adopation of google pay or similar technologies.

Droids - everywhere! Is Apple really even in the game any more?

While i don't doubt that there are a growing number of android developers, citing 1,200 android developers at an android development event being a sign of the decline of Apples reach is a ridiculous.

If i'm not mistaken, apple sold out all 5,000 tickets to WWDC in minutes this year.
