If I remember right (summer 2010) on an ipad you need the same password to update an app and to download a free app as to use or abuse your credit card. Was there not an os with the same mindset, where you need to be administrator to make an application run?
"If this doesn't put people off visiting the US, nothing will."
Maybe it was just that, keeping the Sun reading masses just where they belong. "No 'officer' when I said destroy America I just meant binge drinking, and other related activities."
Nowadays it is my standard configuration for third parties: I am an Opera fan but I install Chrome, and while using Avast (at home only :), I go for Microsoft Security Essentials to avoid the yearly reregistration.
An index, any index, by nature sets US number one, all the rest does not matter. OK after ten years they slipped a few places. But Japan for example is off the radar, that's what we want, that's what it is.
I left hotmail for fastmail last century, then switched to gmail just for the free spam filter. Fastmail did not need web 2.0 to give an unmatched interface.
I had learned that the 'stupid gadget' sales had flattened, thanks to this article I understand better in what context it was said. Having used one for a week, I can understand that it is a success. I am just to cheap to buy one.
"move the debate from the huge scientific consensus to side-shows" I don't think there has ever been a scientific consensus over global warming. In the cold sixties climatologists were mainly talking about the possible upcoming ice age. The first stories about warming explained that the sea would rise once all the North Pole ice would melt (no Archimedes for us). The first greenhouse models talked only about CO2, not about clouds. etc.
A Mac user is a Mac user and maybe a fanboy, not much to see there. But reading the judas phone threads I also got the impression the thread was about religion, as the possible quality of a phone you don't use should be of limited interest or consequence.
I checked the internet and see that gravity stays unmentioned when describing drinking. Is gravity not doing all the work? And don't start about straws! Ignorance all over the place, it is time to save the world, where is the government when you need one?
A decade old fire control unit on a 40 mm grenade launcher (total weight 3 kg) is supposed to give a 2m precision hit. But the next big thing is maybe better.

Engine 5, Is that the engine in the middle?
Looks like the kind of guy who's most probably also in favor of divorce.
Re: Who gives a crap anyway?
In germany you have 'dr's and the rest of us.
Re: Their own fault
In my days chemistry was the direction that was overrepresented with phds.
Dr Moreau?
I also dream to have my own far away walled compound with dogs and armed guards and labs where I do my own research to change the world.

In the seventies: predictable instant black out with crouched breathing followed by an Antaeus grip. And yes we had 'complications'.
Nice, but can you kill someone with a random ipad throw?
The web's best hidden secret
With such a budget for development firefox is probably the most underrated browser on the market.
No criminals yet, but once our 'rent a drone' services will be started, we will ... be very patriotic.
Yeah, my wife says the same.
pits may have held:
1 large standing stones,
2 wooden poles
3 totems
4 fires
....
that's science combined with imagination
It's easier to remove guns, than stairs (falls) or hearts (cardiovascular disease).
It looked innovative to me, only Opera's mouse gestures come close.
Forgotten like the other phone guy with a lot of engineers and an eye for existing products: Thomas E.

Ig Nobel Prize
I see it as a cheap way to the Ig Nobel Prize, but then it's a cheap price these days.
Copyright trick
Maybe it is a way to copy a work while circumventing copyright aspects, contrary to the editor the 'writer' was never aware of the original work.
Labelled "Arkansas flag plaque"
The box was correctly labelled: "Arkansas flag plaque" as the flag is worth more than the rock.
Could it be that they forgot to label the rock as a moon rock when making the gift, thinking its meaning could not be forgotten.
Nasa's budget
Neil Armstrong is right it is embarassing.
ESA budget 4 billion dollars. The NASA delivers half a rocket for the price of four.
idiots rule
grow up, even prime targets like banking systems are connected to the internet these days
jules verne
As far as I remember in Cinq semaines en ballon, Jules Verne also describes heated gas. So he, Nadar or whoever already had that idea.
US rules
An index, any index, by nature sets US number one, all the rest does not matter. OK after ten years they slipped a few places. But Japan for example is off the radar, that's what we want, that's what it is.
The best
I left hotmail for fastmail last century, then switched to gmail just for the free spam filter. Fastmail did not need web 2.0 to give an unmatched interface.
A preachers boy
The new religious: sinful code should be purified so that believers can use it without damning their soul
Article length 4.8K
"10.84 bytes/hour; a spectacularly slow data rate in information transfer terms."
I hope this article was written in much less than 30', otherwise the the writing was "spectacularly slow" in information transfer terms.
Sell, sell!
Why stock for tomorrow if you can sell a million units today ?
free world
"Next stop: the leader of the free world contemplates its own internet kill switch."
Who's that? The president of the "They imprison the whole population" US
Lilienthal
So Otto Lilienthal did not fail, he just fell.
So?
If it is that good, add a second free standing screen to an existing pad, using bluetooth 3 for example.
Paris Gun
Given the small size of the shell it will probably not better the Paris Gun (1918) and its 1600m/s for long range shooting (130 km).
The Microsoft Way
Why switch to Mac if it is to edit configuration files?
There goes a perfect business
The guy who sells the same radio station app to every radio station is not happy with a anti rebranding rule from the app store.
the irish black hole
for years ireland has sustained itself by offering tax cuts on foreign incomes
Thank you
I had learned that the 'stupid gadget' sales had flattened, thanks to this article I understand better in what context it was said. Having used one for a week, I can understand that it is a success. I am just to cheap to buy one.
@David Webb: 5 year old laptop?
Yes, but a 5 year old laptop with batteries
No consensus
"move the debate from the huge scientific consensus to side-shows" I don't think there has ever been a scientific consensus over global warming. In the cold sixties climatologists were mainly talking about the possible upcoming ice age. The first stories about warming explained that the sea would rise once all the North Pole ice would melt (no Archimedes for us). The first greenhouse models talked only about CO2, not about clouds. etc.
I agree
A Mac user is a Mac user and maybe a fanboy, not much to see there. But reading the judas phone threads I also got the impression the thread was about religion, as the possible quality of a phone you don't use should be of limited interest or consequence.
free case?
Now that they offer a free case with the iPhone 4 the demand is probably even higher.
the modern philosopher's stone
According to my great-uncle, who gave presentation of the great future of fusion in the fifties: fusion is the modern philosopher's stone
Same rules
If Windows give the choice for Opera among other browsers, Opera should give the possibility to use Bing among other search engines.
The fanboi courant
I missed this one, as a fanboi there is no better place than el reg to stay informed.
it was fun
I will miss John Hodgman. Did I say I have a PC (and a powerbook 100 somewhere)
the third way
i already own a mobile
my pc should be Windows
but an iPad is a different story
it is a complot
I checked the internet and see that gravity stays unmentioned when describing drinking. Is gravity not doing all the work? And don't start about straws! Ignorance all over the place, it is time to save the world, where is the government when you need one?
And now, the smart grenade launcher?
A decade old fire control unit on a 40 mm grenade launcher (total weight 3 kg) is supposed to give a 2m precision hit. But the next big thing is maybe better.
10.52 at last The Register site is working again
Endless loading time, not working buttons have now disappeared on this site. 10.50 was probably released a little early.
Moore's law?
Is Moore's law not about an increase in transistor count and not about a decrease in price
Not that I ever open sourced anything
Losers, by open sourcing they would give Opera at last a chance for a decent SunSpider score.
