VIrgin Media in breach of it's own Use Policy  

In Brit ISPs censor Wikipedia over 'child porn' album cover

See http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/legal/oncable/acceptableuse.html

12.2 We are not responsible for the content of materials and information published by others (including Users) that are accessible via the Services, and we do not accept liability or responsibility for any such publication.

(I don't think 12.3 applies to this case, since wikipedia isn't on their servers).

Jobs giveth and jobs taketh away  

In Man buys new MacBooks, pulls them to bits, takes pics

Jobs Horns

Good news that it's easier to get at the hard drive for ease of replacement, but now it's trickier to get at the memory...

Stil, it's an improvement...

New Firmware  

In Analysts slam iPhone security and battery life

Alert

The new firmware was released yesterday - the iPhone is comsiderably more spritely, and synching takes MUCH less time. Will see what effect it has on battery life (but yes, the exchange Sync does drain the battery a shedload).

Big White Metronome  

In Asimo conducts symphony orchestra

Not exactly conducting is it, more standing in front of everyone and keeping time. When it can do expression, real-time corrections of tempo and volume and expression by bringing out certain parts, then it'll be very impressive.

Unlimited Data?  

In O2 sweetens its iPhone deals

Unhappy

The existing plans feature unlimited data I thought - so by changing it to £1 a day surely these packages are worse? Or am I missing something?

"Skeet Shooters review Halo"

"Plumbers review Mario Galaxy"

Great, the worst data rates  

In O2 gets UK iPhone deal

O2's data rates are ridiculously expensive compared with T-Mobile and, latterly, Vodaphone. Hopefully they'll use this as an excuse to roll out a cheap data package.
