Or like BBC online where we're 'allowed' to comment on the Chelsea Flower Show but not on the unlawful imprisonment, the miscarriage of justice of Sam Hallam.
But what if they 'mislaid' a list of coppers with convictions for fraud, GBH etc.,?
Oh no, it wouldn't happen of course. They couldn't all fit on a stick or at least crash the servers. Still, when G4grabbit runs the shop all will be well.
So, Sophie Scholl of the White Rose, the 21 years old student was RIGHTLY guillotined by the Nazis for distributing a leaflet announcing that the ‘day of reckoning’ had arrived for ‘Adolf Hitler, the most contemptible tyrant our people has ever endured’.
She was convicted of treason. It was the law at the time. She pleaded guilty.
Apple are known for employing people and NOT TELLING THEM where they'll be working. Browett will actually be Senior Vice President of glazing for their new spaceship headquarters. He may yet get to work on the car park.
“We are adding balance,” said Dr. Don McLeroy, the leader of the majority conservative faction on the Texas Board of Education and a dentist by trade ..."
A dentist, huh? So was Bashir (Basher} Assad, President of Syria and Regional Secretary of the Ba'ath Party.
Like McLeroy, he should have stuck to dentistry instead of assassination.
The iPhone has been called the 'Jesus Phone' for years now, just as the iPad is a 'Fondle Slab'. We cultists don't slam our coffee (or Kool Aid) down to vent our rage, we just look upon another saddo wanting to troll his/her way to acceptance of some crap or other.
The UK is in a recession. That's why prices have to go UP so we can solve the US recession and that's why Apple have UPped their prices and why the likes of Tesco and M&S have announced BIGGER profits!
The Apple Marketing people may give you your buzzwords like ... innovative, magical et al. Believe them or not, just as you will; but what Apple ARE good at is taking a design or concept (often someone else's) and making it work for most folk.
Take the iPad for example ... it is NOT a full blown computer but it does what many people want. It scans the web, does email, does photos, gives a bit of fun and does a bit of music ... in other words, it does what many, many people want. And it does it well.
Take the iPod ... Sony could have had the whole music thing sorted but they didn't, Apple came along and wiped the floor with them. Why? Because they provided people with WHAT THEY WANT. Apple don't provide geeky stuff which is difficult they provide something which generally works well, does what people want and looks good.
Just look at their stores ... I can go into my local Apple Store and, if I want, check my emails, mess about with Photobooth and even check price comparisons. I can do what I WANT and not have some spotty yoof (who doesn't even know his products) tell me what to think and what to buy. Some firms are actually catching on.
Apple DO have a walled garden. Apple are control freaks wanting you to buy from them and use their products but ... and this is what you don't get ... IT WORKS for most of us. I really don't care whether it's better than the competition ... it's good enough and it works ... FOR ME!

Trying to avoid tax?
What will they think of next?

Nobody ever got fired (pun intended) for ordering Lenovo (IBM) machines.
...
Because they are all dead from smoke inhalation!

David Willetts told assembled IT bods in London that companies should 'fess up to their security boobs.'
Or what?
Brown envelopes at dawn?
(Some of us remember)

Boo! Hoo!

Sounds like a NuLabour idea.
Mission creep? Big Brother not only watches you but has his fingers in your bank account, too.

OR ...
They could get into ballooning.
They could get into trains.
They could get into airways.
They could get into speedboats.
They could get into supply of telecoms ...
OR ...
They could just carry on doing what they do well.

If the Kindle Fire is not improved from the US version then iPads have nothing to fear.

It's NEVER enough, is it?

"The dollar price is the same as the euro price, by the way."
So, they're using Apple's retail calculator, then.
Still, it costs more to do business in the UK as Steve said.

No Change
"Microsoft simulates one millisecond latency in the following video, but doesn't have the technology to make it happen".
So, nothing changes at Microsoft.
Saving you money ... every day
But will they be Rolled back?
Will we have a Dixon's/Curry's experience? I doubt it as Mac boxes tend not to have information about their contents.
It's the law ... for some!

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!

Bent coppa
He'll be forced to join the other bent coppas. You know, the ones convicted of fraud, gbh etc., so welcome now in Her Majesty's Constabulary.

Why not issue them with PlayBooks? At least they could use them to hit (sorry, placate) offenders as they fall down the steps.

"Windows geeks bringing up the rear"
So, Windows geeks are gay, huh?
I, too, saw what you did there.
Anyway, the Romans did it and look what happened to them!
Never!
Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
Murdoch?
Mudroach supports SOPA.
Therefore SOPA is bad.
Easy!
Dentistry

Compare:
£2,000,000 paid by NewsCorp to Millie's family for distress
£6,000,000 paid to Rebekkah Wade (Or whatever she calls herself now) for knowing nothing about the phone hacking and having to resign (weep,weep).
Come on ...
If the NHS changed software vendor, the nurses would have to relearn how to look at their holiday and party pictures at the Nursing Station.
Fatties
Profits up 50%.
Sack 10% of workers.
Says it all, really.
Assault on the corporate market?
In the UK?
"He is a great guy that speaks his mind, is down to earth and knows his stuff."
No chance then.
Kindle
Here in the UK ...
Kindling.
Kindle damp embers.

So British Gas are REDUCING tariff prices due to cheaper shale gas.
What do you mean they're not ...?
23456
Actually, she looks as though she should be in one of their shops ... as a Halloween gift!
So, Mudroach pays out two or three million to the Dowlers and a charity.
Compare that with the Millions paid to Rebekkah Brooks (or whatever she calls herself now) for being fired for incompetence.
Seems like a bargain!
23456
Strange!
I wonder what the CEO of DSGi is paid. I'll bet it's more than the boss of John Lewis.

OR ...
"I might just have to cash in my $ , , , , ,(enter billions as recommended) Golden Parashite and go spend some time with my Lawyers/Family."

You missed the English class, then?
I'll prey for you.

Oh, do get with it.

Looks like the Chemist might get a mere 40million dollars for a parachute.

So, announce it then do nothing about it ...
Nothing changes.

She can afford it!
Didn't she collect over 40 million from her last but one employer?
She doesn't know when to stop!
The tears are running down ... my back!
12345!
If she said, "going forward" then she deserves to be fired!

Haven't you worked it out yet?
The UK is in a recession. That's why prices have to go UP so we can solve the US recession and that's why Apple have UPped their prices and why the likes of Tesco and M&S have announced BIGGER profits!
Or are we just being ripped off again, as usual?

You still haven't got it, have you?

California?
I'll bet there are SOME people there who can
Spell correctly
Use the apostrophe.
But then you did choose an Austrian ex-movie star as a Governor!
Kain ... go and annoy another forum.
Oh, wait, you've done that!

One had merely to look at who announced the product ...
Who had it in his sweaty palms ...
Why, Mr Ballmer, of course!
FAIL right from the beginning.
So ...
she's off to Mumbai or Bangalore, then, and changing her name to Doris (or is it Kevin?).
Trolls are out again!
iPhone killers ...
now, let me see ... how many of those have there been?

"and fined them £20,000 each ..."
An hour's work, then!
He's right, you know.
Yes. I worked it out on the calculator on my iPad (apple). I shouldn't have pressed the plus sign.
£157 is correct.
Apple are thieving Bastards!
To AC 14.39GMT
He only gets $1 a year, you know.

You know, then!
