Does your "167 litres per person per day" include leaks? Because they're not going to go away if you desalinate, so if not then your figures are going to be out, and IIRC wastage through leaks is actually greater than actual usage.
From their website it looks like they charge through USB. I'm disappointed that you didn't address this. Is the eight hours by USB from a computer? Is it faster from the mains?
Just the point I was going to make, since when do "notebooks, tablets and Ultrabooks" stream video to the network? *Possibly* NAS boxes, but as you say, not exactly a personal use scenario.
A friend just showed me an email he had from Jessops, advertising a maglev tripod. It fooled my friend and I'm impressed that Jessops have a sense of humour :)
Channel 4 did point out in the report that other banks (HSBC and Natwest from memory) encrypt the details and so their cards weren't susceptible to the same attack, which you seem to have completely ignored in your article.
"This smartphone is magical, and no I don’t mean ‘rabbit-out-of the hat’, ‘cards across the table’ like frolics – it includes the amazing “floating touch”, allowing you to magically search and navigate the web."

Re: Slight problem with the concept?
Happily it has a mini jack and a usb connector, hopefully for 3.5mm input and iPhone connector respectively.
He looks so....
...erm, happy?

Docking Station
The interesting bit is the docking station, which adds a better graphics card.
Chick-lit
The fanbois are up in arms over the keyboard changes, before they've even been released:

Re: wastage through leaks
I could have just read boot note 3:
Leakage today is down to 600 million litres a day, meaning that London actually needs supplies increased by half again over what people use.

Re: nutty price
Hopefully the Dell has a better keyboard than the Zenbook.
HTML HUT
Excuse my ignorance, but what does HUT stand for?
Also, in the video screen shot you missed an "I".

How do I get from those threads to the forum that they were posted in?
Re: Leap day onwards ...
Yeah, I got the email despite having registered probably a year ago. I guess I could have recently bought a spare.
Cheap Shot

Unnecessary Andrew. But personally I think you should have copied his entire article and published it whole on the Register, and see how he reacted :)
Re: ew YUK
True, but HP do make some nice screens. Although I notice that it's even more expensive than an iMac.

Oh yes, HIL-AR-OUS! [sic]
So...
Deliberately get that part wrong?
Re: Changing the control part
They wouldn't use them as control CAPTCHAs, that's not the point. What they will (presumably) do is to have multiple users validate the same text.

And on a similar subject, this one from PhotoBox:

Re: A Thousand Words...
erm, yes, that was how this poll came about.
Live
Given that someone walked off with my brother's peddles the other day, this could get very expensive.
@jai
He was joking. I hope.
Re: erm
They're getting around 250megs from this drive. SATA III SSDs are doing at least 500megs these days, which USB 3 can handle, hence faster.
Other cards
Channel 4 did point out in the report that other banks (HSBC and Natwest from memory) encrypt the details and so their cards weren't susceptible to the same attack, which you seem to have completely ignored in your article.

> some diabetics are having trouble controlling their blood-sugar levels
Isn't that the definition of diabetes?
Re: How much?
Yeah, and a cable to charge an Asus TF101 is nearly £20.
erm
Wouldn't it be cheaper and faster to get a USB 3 caddy and SATA III drive?

No naked pics of Sarah Palin? :'(
erm
Markdown is even simpler than in your example (I think): *Bold* _Italic_
Re: Eh?
Either that, or Radio 4 is more expensive to make than TV.
Re: I'm all for the licence fee
Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is Channel 4, not 5 :)

I have duly reported you to wtfqrcodes.com.

Yellow-tinged journalism?
No comment.
Failures
A friend has had really bad experience with one of these, having to keep send it back for repairs.

I was under the impression that you had to prove you were in the porn industry to regiser .xxx. I guess they just want your money.

Magical
I see they've appropriated the Jobs lexicon:
"This smartphone is magical, and no I don’t mean ‘rabbit-out-of the hat’, ‘cards across the table’ like frolics – it includes the amazing “floating touch”, allowing you to magically search and navigate the web."

Hard drive
For that money I'd also want an SSD, which considering how suitable they are to rugged applications is a surprising omission.
erm
> when handsets are upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich the menu button gets swapped for a running applications one
Perhaps not for Sony phones. I'm running S(E)'s ICE beta on my Arc S and the menu button is still a menu button.
Hilarious
Two lives wasted. Hahaha.
Favtard
My favourite is still mactard. Perhaps what they will call custard at McDonald's.
Testing
I hope you are going to test that the truss won't crumple into flames the microsecond that the rocket motors start.

After writing this post I then found the original design article and realised that this has already been gone through, soz!
Spelling

ICS does that for me.
