EU begins formal probe into US gambling ban

"Apparently the education system in the UK sucks as bad as it does in the US since you folks are completely lacking in reading comprehension."

Try your reading comprehension skills on this link http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/16/antigua_wto_mendel/

as it is clear that the US is *not* banning all domestic online gambling.

Microsoft appeals record European Commission fine

It's not about the fine

It's all about dragging the court case out for as long as possible.

Anybody know when the deadline for appeals was ?

I'd bet it had almost past when they filed.

James Bond ditches the Aston Martin

That Bentley is not what it seems

The Bentley is actually a Rolls Royce.

VW outbid BMW for Rolls Royce, but in an amazing turnabout, BMW then managed to buy just the Rolls Royce name. (I like to think of it as BMW legally stealing the company)

So the new Rolls Royce has nothing to do with the Rollers of old and Bentleys are built in the same factory, by the same master craftsmen that have built Rolls Royce for over 100 years.
