I had to go and look at a picture of a reverse Firebird to figure out what was missing here. It was such a fantastic, evocative shape, somehow melding an Explorer into a Strat. I'm sure this would be an interesting guitar to play, but the body and headstock shapes don't do it for me.
Being told off for putting rubbish out early in England was the first thing I thought about when I read this article. I mean, there are just so many similarities. Foxes, for a start. Linking to websites encourages foxes, doesn't it? Doesn't it???
I recently published my disappointment over my new Nokia N82 in my blog. It replaced a trusty Nokia 6300, and I was lured away by the promise of a better camera and GPS. What I got was a phone that requires multiple button press for the simplest of operations.
How could they have got the user interface so very wrong?
= firstly in Guildford when we went to the Holiday Inn and I took a wrong turn to another town when we could actually see the Holiday Inn, and this made my children cry.
= Secondly, trying to get back across the Thames after visiting Bluewater in Kent, and heading toward London by mistake.
= and thirdly, trying to come off the M1 onto the M25 and missing it not once, but twice, when I failed to spot the turn off coming the other way too.
"They could implement a system for making owner changes easier"
The current system is excellent, takes a few weeks. If you ever had a domain name stolen you would reassess that point of view. Nominet's system is designed to make it extremely hard for someone to steal your domain name.
If this article is correct - www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/5/5263/1.html - then it could be that the US military don't want the NSA to have easy access to their systems.
I've got over a thousand domains and only one of those was an accidental typo. I have no sympathy for someone who registers a domain with a typo in it, they should just pay the cost of their registration. It will teach them to be more careful next time.
I don't understand why they make it so hard to find out that they compress images.
I'm not going to go through the pain of installing a Vodafone device again, repeating my previous experience when I found that all of our carefully crafted websites were made to look like rubbish, unless they are honest about whether the compression system exists and can be switched off.
I liked the way he spoke, like an unordered list of soundbytes. You could hear his brain during the gaps saying "how far down the list of benefits am I going to have to go before they turn the camera off?"

Cookie-free analytics is so hot right now...

Inevitable?
Is this Lovefilm dealing with the inevitable loss of customers to Netflix?
Firebird?

Maybe
Maybe BT employ more and better lawyers than the ICO so threatening them with legal action would be destined to fail.
Ringtones
I just tried out the mosquito ringtones and now I realise why I don't mind the standard iPod earphones - I can't hear anything above 15kHz.
The cat went a bit mad though - he can hear all the way up to 22kHz.
Putting rubbish out too early
Being told off for putting rubbish out early in England was the first thing I thought about when I read this article. I mean, there are just so many similarities. Foxes, for a start. Linking to websites encourages foxes, doesn't it? Doesn't it???
I hate my new mobile
I recently published my disappointment over my new Nokia N82 in my blog. It replaced a trusty Nokia 6300, and I was lured away by the promise of a better camera and GPS. What I got was a phone that requires multiple button press for the simplest of operations.

This is correct
I got my Tom Tom after three wrong turns:
= firstly in Guildford when we went to the Holiday Inn and I took a wrong turn to another town when we could actually see the Holiday Inn, and this made my children cry.
= Secondly, trying to get back across the Thames after visiting Bluewater in Kent, and heading toward London by mistake.

Adobe bought into the Rip Off Britain big time
Adobe need to do something to fix the difference in price of their software between the US and the UK.
Adobe software that costs $1599 in the US costs $2844 in the UK.
My theory today is that

No sympathy

**worried**
My worry is that they will sabotage XP in SP3 to prompt users into migrating to Vista.
Image compression
I don't understand why they make it so hard to find out that they compress images.
I'm not going to go through the pain of installing a Vodafone device again, repeating my previous experience when I found that all of our carefully crafted websites were made to look like rubbish, unless they are honest about whether the compression system exists and can be switched off.
900 pixels tall?
He said it's 2880 x 900 pixels - wouldn't it be better if it was 1080 pixels tall, or taller?
Interesting delivery

I like the clock, but...
I like the retro clock, but I think that the hyperlinks to have a hover-over colour
