    Microsoft Releases “Mojave Experiment” Videos

    "Funny how trying it out for yourself can change your opinion so quickly..." Funny - I tried Vista, and went straight back to XP. I didn't like it. It was slower. It was more obstructive. It was more annoying. Some applications didn't work. I wonder what would happen if you gave these...

    Third-Gen PS3 Heatsink Unveiled

    Currently it's still 50% more than a 360, almost twice the price of a Wii. It just doesn't make sense, blu-ray or not. The orig PS2 was big, loud, ugly, expensive. Only when they released the revised PS2 when it was smaller, quieter, still fugly, but more like the current Wii price did it...

    EU Fines Microsoft Record $1.3B

    Explain again why I, and every XP using person in Europe should get completely shafted because of some lawyers that we didn't vote for and don't support? I fail to see the logic. We've paid for XP. We've contributed to the US economy directly (by 70% more, per license, than any American), as...

    EU Fines Microsoft Record $1.3B

    Just as a point of interest, people suggesting prices should go up here in the EU because of this. UK : Vista Ultimate Retail - £281.68 (before tax at 17.5%) US : Vista Ultimate Retails - $329.99 or, at todays rates, £165.90 Currently, in the UK, we pay 70% more than the US does for...

    EU Fines Microsoft Record $1.3B

    It wouldn't be screwing ' the EU'. It would be screwing EU customers, who didn't ask for this. Frankly - if it could be done whereby direct sales in the EU were terminated, and EU customers simply ordered from the US - I'd be happy with that. The only problem is that the government here would...

    EU Fines Microsoft Record $1.3B

    Why should I suffer because of a bunch of moronic money grabbing lawyers going after a large US company? I've written to my local and european representatives objecting in the strongest terms to this entire line of persecution of Microsoft. As a European, I can do no more. This action...

    Third Cable Cut Compounds Net Woes

    You don't need any technology to do this at all. A strong chain, a good anchor, and a powerfull boat. I've seen it done, accidentally, with a power cable in Plymouth, UK. It shut an entire Naval dockyard for a weekend. The sea is a big place - these cables cover vast distances - it would...

    Apple Users “Assured” Of Their Own Superiority

    Well - I hope I manage to be a Mac owner, without being a complete cock to go with it. I have an MB, and an iPod Classic. I like them both and picked them both because they were the best choice of all the options, for what I wanted. I think the MBA is a great piece of design, but the...

    Apple Users “Assured” Of Their Own Superiority

    Just for full disclosure, I have a desktop PC (just upgraded, Q6600@3Ghz, 8800GT, 8Gb Ram, Win XP64). I have also find exactly the same vile traits in PC users a great deal. The Apple apologists are the ones I really hate. The new Mac Book Air is a lovely piece of design, but I don't want...

    Apple Users “Assured” Of Their Own Superiority

    I have a Macbook, and am intending to buy an MBP in the near future. But I will openly admit that Mac Users are the biggest bunch of egotistical, hypocritical, nonsensical, blinkered, idiotic morons I have ever had the misfortune to come across. Doug

    EU Probes Microsoft Again

    You are making the one mistake I honestly didn't expect people to make. You are assuming that 'EU' = me. You are assuming that the actions of EU lawyers in some way represent the wishes of European people. It doesn't. I don't want Microsoft sued. I didn't ask for this action - I don't...

    EU Probes Microsoft Again

    I need to die, because some American company filed a complaint with some lawyers in Brussels. Care to explain that thought process, run it past me step by step. I quite like my life, but if need must, then I'll do what is necessary. I'd just like to make sure my extermination is justified...

    EU Probes Microsoft Again

    Well - as a Brit and thus a European, I have emailed both my MP ( UK governmental representative) and my MEP ( European governmental representative ) expressing my continued disgust at these pathetic law suits - when there are genuine issues that are far more deserving of the EU's attention...

    iPhone Highly Sought After In Europe

    Doesn't this fly in the face somewhat of the report less than a week ago telling us how sluggish the iPhone sales are over here, and that the analysts couldn't understand why? Doug
