Re: fingers crossed

Upgraded my Sensation at the weekend, it's running faster, battery lasts 5 mins longer and I like the row of icons added to the lower screen. First time I've had a phone that is good enough for any type of upgrade.

WTF?

Cost of Ink

A full set of 6 Epson inks for my printer is about £60 from PC World, th eprinter costs just less than this. It is blatant profiteering, especially as a friend of mine works for a company which makes amongst other things inkjet ink, it cost about £1 per litre.

WTF?

Tossers

Yet another strike for the plod public relations, although if the bloke had a private profile the plod couldn't have known what was happening. Hope none of the guests had a camera or they would really be in the shit.

Look Like a Pratt

It's bad enough watching people on bluetooth looking like they are talking to themselves, but a person talking to their wrist?

Garbage

"Surely the whole point of the camera on mobiles is for those 'snapshots' you would miss by the time you got your DSLR out, chose what lens you need etc"

What so you walk around with your mobile in hand and switched to camera mode?

Why are you Paranoid?

The google car drove past me a few weeks ago, I made the point of stopping and looking straight at the camera.

Why? Because I am not some paranoid idiot who has a problem with being photographed. If it drives past my house I will not worry either because I look my doors when leaving and realise that there will not be a single thief looking at Google to case their next job.

Massive Hidden catch

As said in the article it is only open to customers who have passport enabled, what is doen't say is your mobile must be connected to a Vodaphone owned network in the other country which is by no means gauranteed. If your mobile has found an alternative network then it is full price calls.

Domain Name

Best domain name I've seen was on an adult pleasures shop in Iceland www.pen.is

Ant and Dec

ITV could produce a program where Ant and Dec are put in a room with the worlds deadliest snakes etc.

I would tune in for the pilot episode, with any luck there would be no need for the series to then be made.

What? Why? How?

Ryanair definition of free

Yes you can travel for free, now if you will just pay for your bags, all the taxes we didn't mention at first, the charge for sitting with your partner and the credit card charge per person on each leg of the journey. Oh and of course you will have a short bus journey from the destination airport to the country you actually want to visit.

If you have any problem with this please contact our chairman who will tell you to piss off.

DVD Works for me

At least it will until a blu-ray player costs 24 quid like my last DVD player.

Mobile Bill is What!!

I wonder how much the bill will cost once they have used up the bandwidth on the 'Unlimited' price plan.

Good Policy

Don't want to sound like a sexist male chauvinistic pig, but, I'd start to use the train if I got to see norks every day

abject nonsense

If a government minister says that something is abject nonsense my brain translates this into a fact, the gospel, true.

I wonder if any ministers have watched V for Vendetta, a really crap film but I'm sure Gordon, Jaquie etc would love to have the rule of law shown on this film.

Damn French

I've visited France many times and seen the quality of their drivers so I'm not surprised at this.

There will have been no danger to the nukes on board as they will only be armed if the Americans allow it.

Thought NSA Watched Everything

I am amazed the NSA can't crack and listen in to Skype calls.

How can we accept people having the possibility of a private call, Skype should be banned now.

What? Why?

Visited Twitter for the first time, first page of site asked What? Why?.

Got the what, for people who feel the world must know what they are doing right now.

As for the why, why indeed.
