I think a minor part of it is the British mentality to tear down anyone/thing successful but more importantly these are older people and old people are generally miserable moaners. Plus they're wealthy so they're going think they're god's gift to humanity and get better treatment.
Google maps won't make a difference. As they already pointed out they've been hit a few times for theft. It's a wealthy area and local thugs will already know this. You'll only have to walk through the area and see all the nice cars.
Now they've been hit a few times *and* mentioned it on national TV that they're an easy target they're going to keep getting hit by criminals and quite frankly I'm glad.
The net was more fun in the old days but now it's for people with ADD and a fetish for shiny things with a view to it becoming like cable TV. Nothing good lasts forever unfortunately.
I'm not surprised there is an April Fools topic related to Twitter. I think people like twitter because the small text limit gives you an excuse for writing like a spacker.
My laptop and desktop aren't that new. (desktop 4+ years old, laptop 3 years old) and I can manage to run OOo quite well on both. The laptop runs XP and the desktop is Ubuntu.
Maybe people need to get their porn from somewhere that doesn't load their PC with spyware to slow the system down.
If you're clueless about kids before you have kids then should the childless people of this world even be making decisions on having kids?
They may think they want kids and will do a good job but you just don't see the whole picture until they have kids.
It's cute when parents get all defensive about their little precious child and try to get the whole world and its laws to revolve around their child. But while telling the world to fear the guy drawing a naked 16 year old they forget to tell you that it's most often a relative of the child that is the molester not the stranger drawing the naked 16 year old.

Old people never through anything out. If her iPod dies then she can use it as a soap dish or something.
You can take the Obamas out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the Obamas. :P
Conversely, the used game market is seeing significant growth â" it'll be interesting to see what publishers learn from this.
Quit making the same games as each other and quit making so many damned sequels and then maybe people will see value in what you produce.
I don't care if more people use Linux and in fact it may very well cause Linux to catch gay and turn into WinME.
To be honest these posts are getting a bit shit now.

It always leads to trouble.
I miss the anti-Microsoft topics. Hopefully tomorrow will come around quickly.
No, I've seen a lot of bullshit that's just as bad on other days.
They want you to believe it's fake.
It's not an april fools joke. It's a dream we should make come true!

It needs more fast cuts while adding in Matrix-like slo-mo. The actors should be very young too...perhaps one without public hair.
Nothing makes a movie lamer than it not catering to my ADD while featuring actors who clearly aren't hip, fresh and speak my language.

No Lynx support = teh fail.
I'm sure I wouldn't get a good reaction out of my "grunting" face.
Needs more Hitler.
Wow, too many April Fools postings. I might as well go outside...well I would if I could write code out there but there aren't any butterflies yet.
It's ok. An Australian living in tomorrow travelled back in time to submit the article so it still counts.
He could be English seeing how it's only the 10pm on the 31st. :P
Yes and if I was dim enough to believe it, the JavaScript performance alone would have been enough to tell me it's bullshit seeing where IE6 placed.

if the UK newspaper industry is any example then it's quite easy to publish bullshit.
The Daily Mail does it quite often and I don't see them getting into trouble.

Yeah you got ahead and try your spawned copy without your friend.
