...but only if you drive your road car in F1 driver mode... i.e., hard on the accelerator after hard on the brakes. I doubt the typical urban cycle would see such efficiency improvements. Nice to see that optimism still prospers in these hard times, I suppose.

Well, more concerning is that the offspring of undetermined gender can co-exist in space and time both under the covers in the parents bedroom, and behind a door in another bedroom.
Mines the one with the flux capacitor on the pocket.
Unless you're using an obscure browser or your own stylesheet, is not the word "notes" underlined and in blue to indicate that it is a link? Try clicking on that link.
I appeal to UK music fans to stay away from these legal associations, which are licensed parasites that make little investment in music and pay miniscule royalties to the artists concerned. True music fans should not support them.
I recently purchased a W950i on Orange, but much to my dismay, it was not a W950i. A W950i comes with Opera 8 installed, at least according to Sony Ericsson, Opera and UIQ. So when my phone didn't come with that browser, but some useless other thing that doesn't allow me ot enter a URL and with a compleely useless search function, I was very disappointed.
At no point was a I told that the "W950i" I was being sold was crippled somehow. Now Orange tell me that they reserve the right to remove software, and I'm too late to do anything about it (after 7 days!) and have basically refused to to any more. It's dishonest, and I'm very tempted to inform Consumer Direct, and elevate this to Trading Standards.
Just who do they think they are? This stuff is basically false advertising and as such illegal.
Anyway, I've paid about £4 to debrand the phone and flashed with the worldwide firmware, so at least I now have what I thought I was getting.

30% Efficiency gains...

Hmm, parasites...
