    I like horses - mainly nags - but this was a story I skipped on the BBC yesterday because I cannot see any point to it.

    Brown is the only colour that matters with horses. The brown horse always wins.

    That's what the chairman should control. If they have a proper agenda, it helps.

    People playing with the camera is my biggest headache. Leave the thing alone man! I can see your presention if you email it before hand. I can see it if you push the big "Go" button on the remote. I don't need you to point the camera at the projection screen, or even worse, point it at the 50 inch plasma. In fact, I can control your camera from my end if you front the money for something decent.

    The mircophone placement is the next biggest headache. Mine is a plastic sheet above the table. It work well. Yours is a nasty piece of work from PC World, and it needs to be on the table in front of you, not near the camera. Stop chinking the tea cups too!

    Me daydreaming is the third biggest problem. "Can you repeat yourself as I wasn't listening?" creates roars of laughter. In reality, the meeting is boring and that's why I was daydreaming about sport and naked women (that should be a new sport BTW).

  7. Re:Memory footprint should be first priority on Mozilla Developers Testing Mobile OS · · Score: 1

    I thought the same, and I have done so since around FF3 or FF4. Why do these people makes these damn memory claims when they don't happen to me?

    FF7 has been causing me problems. It feels like big stonking memory issues.

    It looks like memory issues when FF7 takes up 1.5gb of my 3gb.

    But, it's actually a Flash problem for me. Uninstall Flash and the problem goes away. Stay away from armour games and newsgrounds and the slow-downs stay away.

    I've changed my opinion on FF memory issues. Calling "FUD" doesn't help any one.

  8. Re:Operating System? Or just a phone? on How Android Phone Makers Are Missing the Marketing Boat · · Score: 1

    A friend's brother was showing me his new Galaxy SII over the weekend. I played alone, even though I've seen it before.

    "Just another Android" we said in unison after he'd shown me all the features.

    Everyone knows Android in the UK. The phones compete on specifications and looks, not the OS.

    Part of the joy is that operatinig one Android phone is pretty much the same as operating another. When users come to renew their contracts, with an attached free phone, they'll be happy to buy another 'droid.

    I didn't mean the hoarding around the pitch.

    There's the logo saying "SKY HD 2" in the top corner, there's their match timer in the other corner and there's the team list scrolled along the bottom within the first 5 minute of each half.

    I cannot believe Sky will take this lying down.

    "Sky now has lost a significant portion of it's UK revenue"

    We'll see about that. It's still early days.

    If Sky plasters it's logos all over the broadcast, the 'distributing copyrighted material' issue will raise it's ugly head.

    I fully support the ruling too.

    The corporate end users at my place have forgotten about the outages. This issue with "IT" this week involves dupe calendar entries. Next week it'll be expense sheets...

    Celebrities use Blackberries. The kids around here use them because of the status and fashion - they care not for encryption and exchange syncs.

    RIM should have kept their mouths shut and just added minutes or money off the bill.

    This is what happening in my terraced house.

    The neighbour were actually hanging meat in his loft, just as his family had done in Poland for years.

    And this is the main thing about rats - they'll only live somewhere where there's food. The pest controller went one stage further and told me rats are lazy too. They only live in the loft if there is food, they won't travel up and down for it, if the food is on ground level, that's where they'll live.

    And they are scared shitless of humans because we hunt them down and kill them. They wont share living space with us.

    From what I've just read about the man, it seems like he lived a rich life - so who cares about wealth when you're gone?

    I helped a friend install his new TV last month. An LG, nothing special.

    Not being a big follower of TVs, I was amazed at the two USB ports, ethernet port, built in You Tube, Twitter, Facebook...

    It's almost like the TV is a "PC in a box" with a huge monitor attached. If this is the way forward, people will lap it up. Maybe stick an "Apple gaming dongle" in the TV's USB port and off you go.
