There's a phrase that applies here that is often used in England:

This is totally awful. When democracy finally gets to places like this I really hope the idiots who hold the people in a vice get what's coming to them.

Shouldn't this post be called, "How to get a Darwin Award 101"?

"they'll never be able to compete with the freedom available on the other devices". Ha! Ha! Ha!

I'm so embarrassed for them. Poor dears. Get an iPhone and it'll all get better.

How does the use of the iPhone tie in with the fact that she had to sell on the future rights to her photos a few years back?

I remember reading some years ago that scientists once did an experiment that looked at the areas of the brain that became active during specific experiences/tasks and/or while thinking about those experiences/tasks. They found that, in two cases, there was virtually identical activity.

If you do something in a public space, then it's public, not private.

"Windows has a lot going for it"

Some managers are really, really stupid. It really makes me angry when they sack someone for trying to do a decent job. Rather than sacking someone like this, they should promote her and suck the knuckle dragger who sacked her.

This does sound very cool as a concept, but at the same time, I actually do like the human contact that I get in the Apple Store and there's a side of me that wonders if this isn't simply about reducing costs by removing workers?

Nice!

Irrespective of whether the police could hear him talking, whether he was filming or whatever, he representated no immediate threat to the police. Shooting at him is therefore offensive rather than defensive.

Whatever it is, if you can imagine it, someone, somewhere is doing it.

How do you get developer access exactly?

It might also have something to do with the fact that, rather stupidly, after Internet Explorer 5.2, they stopped making Mac versions of the software. As Apple's market share has increased, so Microserf's has decreased.

$800,000 would stop a lot of people in the developing world going blind from glaucoma.

I'm not sure how it works in the States but here in the UK a lot of generic stuff works just fine. My family buys generic nappies, (what we call diapers), and we also use generic toilet paper and trash bags from Sainsburys, all of it is good stuff and it saves you money. I've also used generic trade paint from places…

Well I certainly didn't expect quite the flurry of comments that this post produced!

People are dying in the world. Please write about something that's either significant or worth getting excited about. Shouting about it is so bloody childish too. Get a bloody life.
