Digital only...  

In Tories ask: Why BBC3, BBC4?

Thumb Down

"Both channels broadcast only in the evenings, and only on digital."

For a growing number of people digital is all there is. Don't worry, I'm sure the switchover will happen for you one day :)

Yes   

In ISPs slam Digital Economy Bill's multi-million pound price tag

Good post. I agree with all of what you said. I am sure there are plenty of nu-lab ministers looking to be directors of record companies in a years time.

BTW. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is probably more cheesy than it is possible to imagine... Sorry.

@James Robertson 2  

In Extortionist targets jailbroken iPhones

Jobs Horns

Actually James, if apple hadn't been so awkward in locking down the phone in the first place, people wouldn't enable SSH to unlock it. There would be no hole to exploit.

jeez these are so obvious  

In Apple blueprints the iShoe

Troll

I thought they would have patents for these already. Like they do for tearms i**** and the word 'pod'. C'mon Steve get the whips out, your guys are slipping.

Well done !  

In Dell refunds PC user for rejecting Windows

Thumb Up

Well done Graham. Personally I like Windows, but if you don't want to use it you should get a refund. Well done to Dell too for doleing out the dosh... even if it did take you a while.

How about Hydrogen fuel cells?  

In Liquid electrocar batteries could be replaced at pumps

Badgers

Fill tank with hydrogen....Drive 250 miles emitting nothing but water....Pull in and fill up again.

Sounds like current motoring but without the emissions. Honda already do this see http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity/

Shame  

In Nvidia halts future Intel chipset development

FAIL

This is a real shame for all future laptop users. As stated in the article the nVidia chipsets had much beter built in graphics capabilty, to be honest the Intel ones aren't up to much. Since built in graphics is about all you can expect in a laptop, what with the space premium an'all, this means that laptop performance will be further degraded w.r.t. desktop equivilants in processor, RAM, disc etc...

Plus, not allowing others to utilise the full potential of your chip seems to be anti-competitive to me. More so than IE being packaged with Windows, at least then you could choose to download and install a different browser.

On the bright side, this gives AMD a huge advantage with laptop gamers... 8-)

@ Steve Roper  

In CSI boffins: You can't ID crims from bitemarks on victims

Stop

I think I would enjoy biting down on a plastic-coated rubber rod a whole lot more than biting down on skin removed from dead people. Wouldn't you?

Shame  

In BMW's X6 turns eco

Flame

Was going to comment on how ugly it is. Seems I was beaten to it. Wouldn't want a beemer anyway - they're so common.

What About...???  

In Intel tears up CPU branding scheme

Paris Hilton

What about when they bring out stuff thats better than Core i7? Does that get 6 stars?
