  1. Re:Maybe something everybody can use? on No iPhone Apps, Please — We're British · · Score: 1

    I absolutely agree - most people have other mobiles, why spend everybody's money on something only some people can use? Use the money to produce a decent web-site, pared down to suit all mobile phones, that everybody can use.

  2. Next problem... on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    Let's just hope Arthur C Clarke's estate doesn't sue everyone silly for geostationary orbits, or all those fancy mobiles are going to be switched off...

  3. Re:Proposing to the Queen? on Might Shatner Boldly Lead Canada As Governor? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sorry, but the current queen is a queen regnant (her parent was the monarch, so she inherited), therefore her husband is not the king, he's simply the Prince Consort. So even if she wasn't married, you couldn't become king by marrying her. In other words, there's no point bumping off the current Danish / Greek incumbent.

  4. Rentals on Ubisoft Says No More Game Manuals · · Score: 1

    I've been renting games through a well-known online film and games company for a little over a year - manuals are never supplied (for obvious reasons) and I've only ever wanted the manual for a game once, and that was an odd Wii game with a stunningly poor control interface. By and large, manuals are no longer needed, although I suspect Ubisoft is ditching them more for cost reasons than any real attempt to save the planet.

  5. Re:Good Riddance on UK Wants To Phase Out Checks By 2018 · · Score: 1

    {pendantry} Thank you for being the first person to spell cheque properly. {/pendantry} There will need to be some alternative payment means for small companies, or a legislated elimination of card fees.
