Because your trademark can/should be for "Example", not "example.com". Hence you can get hold of $TRADEMARK.xxx == example.xxx.
e.g Starbucks. I bet they trademark both Starbucks and Starbucks.com, but they'd only need to use the former, more normal, bricks&mortar version to block starbucks.xxx.
The Revo is good value for money, yes (ignoring the "can only see 3.5GB of the 4GB I paid for" annoyance!), but to say anything about its keyboard other than "I threw it in the bin the moment it arrived" is to overstate its utility dramatically. *Awful*.
Well, given that the police had to resort to linking it to an actual person via a supermarket loyalty card, it's reasonably to assume there was nothing on the phone itself (stored numbers for Home, Mum, Work, etc) tying to down to anyone.
Assuming an honest driver, once s/he had exhausted the obvious data sources (addressbook, etc), it's not too much of a leap for them to make to see if there might be identifying information elsewhere. I.e. in the phone's photos.
But I agree - totally *possible* that s/he nicked it, took it home, saw the photos and then "remembered" to hand it in :-)
Bloody marvellous! The stories I heard from my (then) missus who worked relatively high up at Becta of abuse of public funds - 1st class travel everywhere, getting into bed with MS regularly, etc, made me *spit*.
The 3 models listed at uk.farnell.com have these designations:
EZ430-CHRONOS-868: "EU"
EZ430-CHRONOS-915: "US"
EZ430-CHRONOS-433: "WW"
Assuming WW == WorldWide, it does beg the question of which bit of spectrum is unregulated in the UK: 868MHz or 433MHz. Or both. Google has yet to produce a definitive answer ...
So http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_band suggests that the 433 band is suitable for the UK, but doesn't touch on the 868 band either way. Anyone care to comment who actually knows anything, rather than relying on my blind wikiwanderings?

Dear "THINK OF TEH CARBONS!!!" dude
FOAD. Seriously. Just GTFO my internets and DIAF.
This shit is *important* and must die. Properly.
Not a firefox problem ... ?
Doesn't look like it's a firefox to me. Looks like MS trust their own billing-related root cert in Windows and/or IE and firefox doesn't trust it:
jon@machine:~$ echo | openssl s_client -connect billing.microsoft.com:443 -CApath /etc/ssl/certs 1>/dev/null
depth=0 /C=US/ST=Washington/L=Redmond/O=Microsoft/OU=Windows Live Operations/CN=billing.microsoft.com
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:1
depth=0 /C=US/ST=Washington/L=Redmond/O=Microsoft/OU=Windows Live Operations/CN=billing.microsoft.com
verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted
verify return:1
depth=0 /C=US/ST=Washington/L=Redmond/O=Microsoft/OU=Windows Live Operations/CN=billing.microsoft.com
verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate
verify return:1
DONE
Or do other people have a billing.microsoft.com cert in their root certs?
Revo? Hmmmm ...

Well,
I actually stood up and did a little dance ...

Good riddance to the lot of them.
