Re: Awesomely predictable...

Can I add: To all of those who think you can do do better, send your CV off to Apple. I'm sure they are eager to hear from you.

Re: Strange choice

So you need technical competence to operate a phone?

Or are you saying Android user = technically competent?

The Sun? A Newspaper?

I think you could get them under the Trade Descriptions Act for that.

Re: Why does the Govt keep employing the same firms for massive projects....

Because they are the only firms that can afford to bid.

Responsibility

Seems to me that this is yet another example of "I'm not responsible - it's someone else's fault". We have imported this attitude now into the UK - just look at the ambulance chasing lawer ads.

I think the whole issue and ethics of in-app purchasing (especially) for a kids game is a totally separate debate. This guy is a chancer. His lawers are chancers.

Re: Suspension of Refunds, Exchanges?

There may thousands in outstanding credit, but when it comes to who gets paid out first from the carcass of a company, it's my understanding that it's the major creditors (e.g. banks) who get first pickings. Joe Public can be left up crap creek without a reward card.

My two ......

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. WTF? A complete crock of shite. And;

Pulp Fiction. Everybody seems to think this is a classic and to slag it off is heresy. I think it's classic rubbish.

My personal opinion and not trolling

What next?

Proview saying they've been fleeced by some some guy in a suit called Bond who works for a company called Universal Exports?

WTF?

Organic growth ?

Bloody MP's

So this is how democracy is going to work in future: which party leader can get the highest score on Fruit Ninja.

Blabbering bull

So to turn your "argument" on its head, if an interface if difficult to use and dull as a butter knife, then the non-retarded will flock to use whatever device uses it.

Go back to your Command Line because what you have spouted there is complete and utter shite.

Fondleslab mentioned yet again ...

....in a reg article. Time for another beer

@ Mark

"No, for most people, Android is number one, Symbian is number two - IPhone number three. That's a fact. It's only (some) techies who seem to think that Apple are the thing everyone should have."

Any chance you could back up these "facts" . A link perhaps ?

Get advice from St Jobs

Rupert: G'day Steve, it's your old mate Rupert

Steve: Rupe !! How's it hanging?

Rupe: Bit of crisis with ths hacking scandal. I'm up crap creek without a paddle.

Steve: NotW ?

Rupe: Yep - What should I do?

Steve: Change the name. Not that big a deal.

Corrections 2:

''...Dixons said this morning that sales are still crap, and getting crapper.'

Should read:

''...Dixons said this morning that sales are still crap, and they are going down the crapper.'

I have ....

... a strong suspicion that it will take more than 200k to make this clown bankrupt. What's to stop him setting up shop again under a different name?

Toothpick
WTF?

Apple..

...are taking the piss.

Toothpick

It's media spin..

designed to get the Daily Fail readers into a lather.

I don't imagine that the PM's only source of income is his parliamentary salary.

Keep the name

I think a lot of punters will associate AMD and Intel as processor makers, and ATI and Nvidia as graphics chip manufacturers. I do.

Take the ATI brand out of the equation and, personally i think, that many people may think ATI has died leaving Nvidia as the only graphics option.

What's the sticker on your PC or the sticker in the graphics card box going to say ? Powered by "AMD (Nee ATI) graphics"

Toothpick
WTF?

@dave 46

Why would an iPhone get my friends "respect" ?

Toothpick

It would be helpful,,,,

... if dropped call rates for other manufacturers handsets on AT&T's network were also included. Surely if the dropped call rate was roughly the same across all handsets, then the finger of suspicion points to the network provider.

Coat

But does this..

.. Daily Fail article mention that it will affect your house price?

Mines the coat with the Preparation H in the pocket. Ahhh... me fucking Chalfonts.

Coat

Will this "update"..

Solution ......

Apple to start selling iEar Bumpers to ensure your Jesus phone is the correct distance away.

They can be bought for a mere £25 a pop (via an app) in the iPillock section.
