how exactly is this going to be enforced, how do they intend to check up on retailers? Surely they could report back to microsoft that they'd sold two games as promised, but just hold the ones people didn't want in the stock room then order a few less over the next few weeks as the excess is sold off 'naturally'
Theres a few posters around the country and they've been showing 5 second 'glimpses' of the tardis and the doctor and rose inbetween shows for about 2 weeks now
For the ignorant amoung us does anyone know exactly big a magnetic tape(s) containing 1.2 million customer records are? Are they say, big enough to fit in a breifcase or are they more on the truckload size?
This is absurd, how will secret agents be able to survive underwater for a few minutes whilst their arch-enemies check for survivors to a mysterious car crash?
Firstly you have to take into account that the pound is very strong against the dollar at the moment and secondly they haven't gone back up, at least they haven't here as was mentioned in the article
I went to see these two new films that are supposed to be really good, except I didn't stay to the end of either. But there probably exactly the same all the way through anyway. Anyone want to read my review?
Jeez, even school kids can make up the excuse that their printer ran out of ink so they only have half their work done.
Simple. the RIAA (just because they like to do these kinds of things) will dispatch a legal representative (and secretary [at your expense of course]) to each and every home with a VCR or DVD recorder, then whenever you fast-forward they will have the power to hand you a press-play-and-desist order. Failure to respond to this will result in the immediate seizure of your remote control, whereby the lawyer will tow your VCR to the impound and force you to make an over-inflated out-of-impound settlement.
You don't think they haven't already thought this through?

You have now been officially invited to the next London FLASH MOB. If
you do not know what a FLASH MOB is then it can best be explained as an inexplicable gathering of a group of people in a place for a short period of time. Be sure to forward this note as quickly as possible to other people you know who might like to join in. Time is of the essence!
(1) At some point during the day on Wednesday October 6th synchronise your watch by using the speaking clock or the following website:- http://www.timeticker.com/main.htm and click on England/London*
(2) By 8:20pm on the 6th of October you will need to be in the area around Paddington train station. Because of the unique nature of this next event we will only be sending out the exact assembly locations nearer the time. This will also give you time to invite friends and forward this note. Registration for new members at the bottom of this page.
http://tinyurl.com/5lxwz for the approximate location
(3) There is no step 3 today
(4) At some point a MOB rep will make themselves known, appear and pass out further instructions. Read the instructions carefully and then hide the piece of paper about your person so that it can not be seen.
(6) These final instructions will provide the destination of the MOB site, and you should arrive at that destination at the time that it states. Aim to get there on time, if you are early, stall, if you are late hurry! although no one will need to rush.
(7) The instructions will contain everything you need to know and MOST importantly the time to leave the MOB site by. The dispersal is just as important to the success of this MOB as is the arrival. Everyone should leave as quickly and orderly as they can and truly disperse. PLEASE DO NOT LOITER , ENSURE THE SUCCESS AND PROMPTLY LEAVE.
(8) After the Flash MOB, carry on with your lives as per normal, await instructions for further Flash MOBs.
(9) At all times remember that a MOB is just fun.
(8) This is actually step 10.

I don't know what the flashmobs in the US are like but the ones here (London) are fun, non-political gatherings.
Everyone talks as though they're dangerous out-of-control, pretencious politcal statements thought up by flunked out students.
So far I have been to all but one of the flashmobs here in London and at every single one there has been zero-police presence, but it isn't as though they can't get the information out fast enough or arrange the man-power. Not this minute did I receive an email outlining the next mob in London (a week from now)
Every time there has been a mob it's on the evening news, and not once has the idea of 'terrorist attacks' surfaced, it is always a light-hearted affair (note this is all post 9/11 as well)
I think this just goes to show the highly-overzealous and inanity of current thought towards anyone normal having something remotely near un-regulated fun. Not to mention the seemingly constant specture of 'terrorism' and other assorted panic buzz-words 'biological' 'chemical' 'islam' 'mushroom cloud'...you get the idea.
I'll be going to the mob next week regardless of what all the politcal advisors and sercurity experts say.

So near, yet so far...
Surprised this wasn't in the article but you can read Google's response from Eric Schmidt here.
I thought that at first, its not broken, the rest of the images just haven't loaded yet

This is a great addition to gmail's long list of advantages over other free web-mail services.
Thing is though, the gmail web interface is so good I don't want to use pop3.

yeah, forgot to post specs.

It's not exactly something you'd want to dabble your feet in on a summers day...
