Hmm  

In Movie-quality games in 15 years, claims gaming veteran

Happy

For me, this has already been realised in the game 'Treasure Island Dizzy'.

Mind you, I am an egg.

M

Wow  

In 'Augmented reality' ghost game coming to DSi

Happy

This looks AWESOME! Hopefully I can get rid of the ghosts that haunt my fridge, drink my beer and eat my sausages. And rape me.

FFS  

In O2 inked as UK's official Pré distributor

Flame

Why are the shittest telco getting all these exclusives? I was with 02 and they couldnt get my bill right. I am with orange now and they have no decent phones. None! Oooh a Nokia!

tarts!

grumble grumble

M

Sounds alright  

In Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition S8300

Happy

But I am waiting for the Samsung Omnia HD and this ain't it. THIS AIN'T IT!

M

lol  

In Astronaut Twitters from orbit

Happy

man_from_enemy_mine: I just met an enemy today. I might make him mine.

M

T_recall  

In Astronaut Twitters from orbit

Happy

D_quaid: COHAAGEN!

M

Marvellous  

In Zune phone specs spied

Gates Horns

No doubt that they will seek to limit whatever profit they may make by just selling it in the motherland. The rest of the world need not apply.

M

I have to say  

In Apple prepping 32GB iPhone 3.0?

Jobs Horns

It sounds horribly believeable.

M

Hopefully this will work  

In Pirate-pursuing lawyers get DDo$ money transfer slap

Pirate

If it doesn't, well it made me chuckle anyway. Also I pledge my 1 SEK!

M

Goodbye Vienna...  

In Austria pulls out of Large Hadron Collider

Go

We will miss you :-(

M

Oh dear, yet another fail  

In Plod called in on MPs' expenses leak

Happy

Instead of dealing with the problems, let's obfuscate matters and disembowel the messengers!

M

Hey Rim?!?  

In Upcoming 'Gemini' BlackBerry Curve not 3G after all

Flame

2002 called. They want their phone back.

M

I dunno  

In No 'next gen' consoles until 2013, analyst claims

Paris Hilton

It might not be far off the mark. If Microsoft wanted to bring something else to the market in the next two years I am sure they would have mentioned it by now. And Sony are committed to their 10 year project.

Paris? I am sure that she will hawk her booty on the market again before then.

M

@ Bah humbug AC  

In Orange hears his master's voice

Happy

Very good! You alluded to a 'cafetiere' as a cell phone feature and no phone has that feature! I derived much humour from your remark.

Well done!

M

Oh dear  

In Yes! It's the iPhone USB Missile Launcher app!

Unhappy

I guess global productivity is now going to take a hit.

M

Looks nice  

In Samsung unveils first Android handset

Heart

I am up for a phone soon, this could be the one...

M

Interesting article  

In What on earth do you think you are doing, Darling?

Flame

And I like your idea of an increased personal allowance roughly matching that of a year's minimum wage salary.

Also Ms. Bee, aren't all your days Flamey days?

M

Wow, that looks well weapon.  

In Concept phone punted as ultimate music handset

Flame

It looks like someone has invented a real life Wasp T12 Speechtool. I guess possession of this pile of tat will enable you to truly be a "self-facilitating media node"

M

Hmm...Xbox controller?  

In Flying-rifle robocopter: Hovering sniper backup for US troops

Happy

I think I would prefer a keyboard and high resolution mouse. There is also a great bit in Ghost in the Shell where they have the helicoper snipers!

M

Sweet  

In Start-up Bee pledges 'affordable' British e-car

Happy

However, as I can't wait that long, I will have to purchase my Masarati now.

M

3 Tiny Choppers?  

In 'Soon soldiers will have 3 tiny choppers in their pocket'

Happy

Not me, I have a Monster in my Pocket(tm)*

*May be tiny in real life.

M

RIP JGB  

In JG Ballard — 1930-2009

Unhappy

You will be sadly missed

M

Hooray!  

In Microsoft wraps Live Search in chicken and breadcrumbs

Happy

Now I know what I will have for tea tonight! Chicken Kiev with beans and waffles!

M

Hmm  

In Russian schoolgirl invents inertioid-driven Venus rover

Joke

I think that she probably comes from Pripyat, not Noginsk. That would explain the 'aura'

M

Inspired by this story  

In Male chimps strike 'meat for sex' deals

Heart

When I was in the pub yesterday, I found that 7/10 women rejected my offers of raw meat. One accepted then reneged on the deal. The other two were, well, chimp-like in their acceptance.

Still. Not an entirely unsuccessful strategy

M

Cue BBC Hand-wringing  

In BBC goes live... over Wi-Fi

Flame

Roll out free live internet telly, then state to the government that people without licenses are 'stealing' tv. Bish hash bosh, a flat rate internet tax 'in case' you decide to watch tv.

M

Well done  

In How gov scapegoats systems for man-made errors

Happy

I like the investigative journolism slant.

M

@Robert E A Harvey  

In Palm bets the farm on WebOS

Thumb Up

I totally agree with the Telco tie in statement. If Palm tie this up with one phone company per country a la iphone they are totally boned.

I am looking forward to have a play with one as they look great though!

M

Erm no?  

In Killzone 2 to drive XBox 360 owners to PS3, claims Sony

Heart

I own an xbox 360 to play halo3 and left4dead with my friends. I would buy a PS3 in a heartbeat if there were any games for me to play. I have played KZ2 but I still don't think that it is the killer app for me to buy one.

*Waits*

M

Apologies to Baldrick  

In Man turns finger into storage

Happy

His little false USB finger looks like a willy. Which is ironic, because my willy looks like a little USB finger.

M

Anti-PR(S)  

In YouTube blocks music videos in UK

Happy

Google had a site where music videos were being legally streamed, because the profits from advertising revenue were worth more than the fees to the PRS for the videos. The PRS demanded higher fees that would make the site operate at a loss. So Google has stopped doing so.

That the PRS believes Google is incumbent to run a loss in order to continue acting as a promotional window for the record companies the former represents is the sort of naive thinking that is to be expected of them, frankly. They played hardball, and lost big time.

M

Fuck me  

In Ryanair may charge cattle to use the bog

Flame

I would deliberately not bring any money and urinate like a cat on the duty free trolley.

M

Hehe  

In Earthworm blamed for laptop crash

Joke

Further reports name the Earthworm as 'Jim', who was in pursuit of his 'Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit' which he thought was the laptop.

M

Well good luck to 'em  

In LG wristphone reportedly priced at £1000

Thumb Down

Having had video calling features on my phones for about 4 years now and making, let me think, one call in that time to test out the video calling, this isn't a killer app for me.

I do think that reguarly calling from a watch is pretty cool though if coupled with a bluetooth headset or something.

M

Phwoar  

In Robert Llewellyn drops Red Dwarf clanger

Happy

I believe that Sophie Winkleman is rather attractive. Of course, Sophie is not quite as nice as Miss Bee (who is ace!).

M

Fucking Hell  

In Info chief slaps Met on CCTV in pubs

Black Helicopters

This really scares the shit out of me. How can we stop this creep of powers?

How about a CCTV icon?

M

Go on Lads!  

In Landmark copyright trial against Pirate Bay gets underway

Pirate

Arrr Me Hearties!

M

WOW!  

In Samsung crafts solar-powered phone

Happy

This is awesome! I will totally get one of these (if they are made by poor chinese kids in a lightless factory)

M

Wow  

In Doubled-sided Acer phone spied on web

Thumb Up

I have to admit this seems like a great idea depending on the implementation. I miss physical buttons on my touch screen HTC so this could be the best of both worlds.

M

Hurm  

In NSA offering 'billions' for Skype eavesdrop solution

Black Helicopters

The cynic in me thinks that Skype has found a foolproof way to monetise their business stream. The sloth in me wants to go and have a little lie down.

M

Oh Dear  

In Red Dwarf touches down in Coronation Street

I am hoping that this will be good down to the ends of my luxuriant curlicues.

If not, well, I know where CC lives...(or used to live anyway)

Redbourn (if it helps).

We definitely need a 'meh' icon.

So...'meh!'

M

Hmmm  

In Joker must retire, insist Heath Ledger fans

Linux

If Heath Ledger were alive now...

He would be scrabbling like mad on his coffin lid. (Apologies for forgetting who said the original quote.)

M

Union of Sausage Anglers  

In Brits 'a bunch of yellow bastards', says irate Yank

Happy

Neep!

M

Instead of an ID card with foreign languages on it...  

In MP wants Welsh text on ID cards

Happy

I would like chips for tea.

M

How much more black could this be?  

In Gimme some (more) money, demand Spinal Tap

Happy

The answer is none. None more black.

M

Lots of people are critical  

In Texas lawyer sues Citibank over fake cheque scam

Happy

To be fair there isn't a lot of detail in this article but I agree that this person was very foolish. However if he or his minion adhered to the protocol for checking funds in the company bank account and the bank told him the funds were there, then the banks were in no small part complicit in the cock up.

M

Colour me surprised  

In Time to axe Microsoft's Zune

Flame

When they only release something in the US and Canada then they are bound to have crippled sales. I live in the UK and I wouldn't mind having one but FFS! North America only?

M

Skype Digger (Remix)  

In Kanye West blames Gmail hijack for bisexual porn hoax

Happy

They take my gmail - when I'm in need

Yeah they're rifling through, myspace indeed

Oh they are skype diggers - way over town

That digs on me.....

M

I have been to Calgary Zoo...  

In Goat hangs self in Canadian zoo

IT Angle

And I too, felt like the poor goat it was that bad.

RIP Goaty.

M

What?  

In Yes! It's the wristband battery!

Alien
