"Sadly for Britain's lawmakers, anyone with an ounce of tech knowledge knows exactly how to evade such an online blockade – a fact seemingly lost on some politicians"
I think they just stick their fingers in their ears and hum loudly whenever anyone reminds them of that.
Re: So nobody has a real answer to my question then?
For the same reason everyone always wants the newest version of anything, of course. It's a free update with improvements and people want to try it out.
And I think Google have been updating old versions up to a point. Manufacturers and telcos slow the update process down by wanting to 'test' everything before it goes OTA, though.
"Game publishers Bioware are due to release an officially sanctioned alternative ending to the game in April."
That seems to be an overly positive spin on the old paraphrasing. Muzyka said they were working on 'content initiatives' and there would be more news in April, that's all.
To be able to use this, you have to plug it into something else...so, is this really much better than having a bootable USB stick with a linux distro on it in practice?
Actually, they're fixing problems that came to light when the update was released in the US. If anything, the Americans who got it first got a bad deal, not us.
I'm waiting for Apple to use this as a reason to sue every other phone manufacturer as anyone who isn't buying an Apple product is harming their sales.

Good riddance
A lot of the Toshiba netbooks were tacky even for netbooks, anyway.
Re: I use KeePass
A portable version? So, you don't work in a place that locks down the allowed device categories that you can stick into a USB port?
Well, that explains the server load problems, then.
Re: did they do this again?
Yeah, it was. This is a separate analysis by a security firm.
The man must be a celebrity in the anti-virus world.
Re: @ the Imperial fans
Do you have a time machine on offer to allow these people to follow this command?
Re: Really!
I'm struggling to figure out whether the Stephen Fry bit is real or not.
Then again, as it involves Fry it probably is real.

Looks like EA can't make its mind up.

Re: Cynics
So much for Vowelgrm, then.
Re: That photo is scary
A giant of technology!
And nothing else.
Re: Anyone else have to go to wikipedia
It's otherwise known as the Silicon Roundabout.
I preferred that name.
Did the Design Museum really just award a design award to something they termed as having as little design as possible?
Words fail me.
Re: @ Enver Hoxha
You'd set it up so some people go to lunch and then when those people return, the others go to lunch, obviously.
Re: At last...
To be fair, the N version thing was an EU stipulation.
Re: Anyone ever seen the e-gates at Luton working?
Same at Heathrow, they've always been fenced off whenever I've been through there.

Hershey produce Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the US? Poor America.
Re: Megashark vs Giant Octopus
All the stuff you have mentioned nominates it as a good film, not the worst film!
Well, apart from Gibson.
Re: $900 ticket + flight
They'd probably take the freebie off you too, then!
$900 ticket + flight
Pretty much offsets the freebie you get for attending, doesn't it?
Re: ok...
It connects in the USA - no surprises there as that is where Apple is based.
Re: why confusion
Presumably because this article covers Australia where a 4G network of sorts is available?
Balboa Pier?
Who comes up with these names?
Re: Ummm
I can only assume they got it second-hand from someone who read http://blog.bioware.com/2012/03/21/4108/ and made a few assumptions.
"Game publishers Bioware are due to release an officially sanctioned alternative ending to the game in April."

Considering the reliability and quality of Toshiba kit, that's almost a good deal.
Re: Does this mean I should pop in...
Probably, yes. The sales have already been on for a couple of weeks, though.
How many people really own Android phones (or other smartphones) and not set some sort of lock be it password, PIN or otherwise on them?
Re: Mobile underground
At least some of that is directly underneath the streets, so I'm not that surprised the signal can penetrate.
Oh, the irony.
Re: Re: Sheer stupidity not absent technology
Servers might be a good start on changing the default password - you'd hope most people had at least realised that.
Re: Re: Quit using logic
You don't need logic when you're Jeremy Clarkson either.
They asked the unemployed/those searching for new jobs whether they would be reskilling?
Seems like a slightly skewed sample, there.
Bootable USB
To be able to use this, you have to plug it into something else...so, is this really much better than having a bootable USB stick with a linux distro on it in practice?
Nokia Swindon
Very disturbing.
Re: "Secret coded memo from Apple to Foxconn said to discuss characteristics of iPad 4"
The second version to be called an iPad 4S?
Tweaking?
At least some of those are on gog.com with support for recent OS'.
Obligatory
I never asked for this.
Smartphone Oven
I'm waiting for a smartphone that overheats enough to cook food...
Commentard
I like commentard - it's something that sets El Reg apart from other websites.
*eats popcorn*
Oh Reg, how could you issue a challenge like that?
And cause cancer.
Re: Re: More WTF....
Yeah, if it's that much of a problem, they probably shouldn't have loads of power sockets around the place that anyone can plug anything into.
Put padlocked covers over them or something.
Re: track record
No, it's just a money thing.
As in they want more of it.
A man with a clipboard may be required.
Actually, they're fixing problems that came to light when the update was released in the US. If anything, the Americans who got it first got a bad deal, not us.
"And the company re-iterated its plan to release Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the tablet later this month."
That would be for the original Transformer. The Prime already has 4.0 on it.
As for the late update, this seems to be down to issues Americans are having with it (if the posts on XDA are any guide).
Irreparable Harm
I'm waiting for Apple to use this as a reason to sue every other phone manufacturer as anyone who isn't buying an Apple product is harming their sales.
No worries, I'm sure the pirates/blogs with links to music downloads will be happy with .com addresses...as will everyone using them.
