@ Matt RE: Jobs Lot

Your half way there Matt, while sporting a plain charcoal black shirt and talking on the Jesus phone, you must balance the mac book air on a corner using only one extended finger.

MiniDisc

Sony were probably still up their own backside in love with MD (MiniDisc). While it was great and funky to own over a CD Discplayer, they should have spotted the mp3 player sooner with no moving parts... I guess they were too arrogant.

I love sony but sometimes they are up themselves too much. Apple brought them down to earth in the music player world

whoEMI?

"Geoff Taylor sits down, realises that he works for BPI not EMI."

(in response to the massive job cuts at EMI sacking 2000 of their 5500 staff)

JASR's comment made me laugh, although not a caption he should win clearly

@ Neil

Skynet already exists. Skynet, a secure military communications system family operated by the UK Ministry of Defence since 1969 (source: wikipedia)

FF IE7 blah blah

The whole FF2 vs IE7 comes close to a draw in reality. HOWEVER FF has a huge mature addon community that includes greats like Forecast fox hehe, and the essential ad blocker + NOSCRIPT.

With no script non of those dodge fake jpg or gif or phishing scripts will run unless u allow it. makes browsing a lot safer.

Title

Well there's a gigantic potser or Ronny O'sullivan advertising a gambling website with a roulette wheel next to him saying ' i take red, black red black red black red black' etc.

so i guess it is legal and the fact that A LOT of football clubs are now sponsored by online gambling sites

err false advertising?

Well the problem is Nokia advertise their phone as VoIP capable. And they give it to Vodaphone and Orange as VoIP capable. Although the above service providers dont advertise VoIP. But they also dont advertise the fact that it is disabled. which imo at the very least is really cheeky.

basically its like selling you a bog standard mobile that has SMS text messaging disabled. wouldnt you be up in arms?
