Or any way to add extra storage. That and the annoying exclusion of things like Swype are the main reasons why I have a Galaxy S2. The iPhone is a nicer piece of hardware, but for shooting videos or taking lots of photos, 16GB is not enough and 100GBP extra for another 16GB is a piss take.
Yes they are. And when they charge 100GBP (or 599GBP if you made the mistake of buying a iPhone/iPad without enough storage) for an extra 16GB of storage that costs 10GBP on Amazon they are much much worse. Being a rip-off merchant is always wrong even if people are gullible enough to fall for it.
Name something Microsoft has come up with in the last 10 years that it hasn't ripped off from Apple or Google or another company more original than Microsoft?
You annoy a lot of people with huge long posts in defence of your views. Some of them will abuse the mod system to get back at you. You should continue doing what you do as your off the wall opinions liven up slashdot no end.
It's still there and still in heavy use. It's not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, given that Sharepoint, Dynamics CRM and tons of third party apps are written in it. MVC is great, I wish Webforms would go away but it's not going to any time soon.
Speaking as a 41 year old Brit, the attitude to race, gender, sexuality and disabilities is so much better now than when I was a kid that it's incredible to think that it's the same country. Perhaps that's why people don't object to the laws against prejudice; they remember what it was like before them.
A colleague of mine installed something on his iPad 1 the other day. It came up with the message Unauthorized application or some such. WTF? He installed it, so therefore it is authorized. Stupid Apple control freaks. That's why I own a Galaxy S2. The iPhone might be better, but Apple can fuck off telling me what I can put on there and having the damn cheek to charge 100GBP more for an extra 16GB of storage instead of giving their users an SD card slot like nearly every other manufacturer.
Cool IE10 will fix Firefox not having a sandbox. Shame we'll have to wait bloody ages for it. Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft released some minor updates to its browser sometimes, like improving developer tools for those of us unfortunate enough to have to use it exclusively for debugging.
Yeh that'll work. I've done that on many occasions. The best response is a sullen glare and a grudging obedience. Then there's the ones that glare at you then carry on, and finally the ones that abuse and/or threaten you. I'm 6ft 2 and 210 pounds so I'm not easily intimidated. A lot of people are afraid to confront the public transport dicks due to the potential consequences.
A nice fat merc in a tank is not easy at all. Anybody who thinks that the citizenry having guns matters much has ignored how poorly the Libyan rebels fared before NATO stepped in and is currently ignoring how badly the Syrian rebels are currently doing against a much better armed and trained military.

With better marketing you become the world's most successful tech company.

Osama bin Laden was the son of a billionaire and a millionaire in his own right.
+1 :)
I wish my life was so perfect, so wonderful, so simple, that the ending to ME3 was the worst thing that ever happened to me.

Not just porn but kiddie porn. I'm surprised that U2's first album wasn't blocked for similar reasons.
Do you work in advertising?
There used to be a website quite a few years ago where you could do that. I can't find it anywhere though.
Because that's entirely the same lol. Apple fanboys are such utter sheep.

From that well-known source of balanced and factual reporting?

Well the casual buyer might spot the word Samsung written on the box.
It took me a while to find out how to shut it down. That should be very obvious on a computer that gets turned off regularly.
In the UK it's illegal to smoke on the bus. It's also illegal to play music on the bus. Guess how often those laws are enforced.

Proof from a tank shell or a bomb from an aircraft?
