Difference being, the programs on my PC and even the apps and other hardware on my smartphone still continue to work if the network cable gets pulled or I stray too far from a cell tower. My phone basically became a backup camera, music player and Worms/Angry Birds console for two weeks last...

I think... the 1080 ... as that's 3x360. Srsly I should become a marketeer. Except then I'd have to take Bill Hicks' advice and kill myself. Note: Pronounced One-Oh-Eighty. The same way as the Peugeot 1007 (one-oh-oh-seven; not one-double-oh-seven or one-thousand-and-seven ... branding...

Hmmm ... Now, I have used my Google account for various things, including submitting a couple edits to Maps etc... But I've still answered "no" up above. Because I don't actively "use" the core social network bit of G+ (and in fact I don't think I actually KNOW anyone who does, either)...

I ain't even gonna bother clicking that. I know that Medion is Aldi's own-brand for electronics. If you think that spending £1300 on an Aldi ownbrand laptop is a good idea, you deserve everything that happens as a result. Have you even used any of their other electronic products before? Some...

I was just surprised to find out the original Khan was supposedly nonwhite. I mean, he has something of a tan, but he's hardly Ving Rhames or any of the many actual Bollywood actors with the real life surname of Khan... Possibly it was thought a genetically engineered supersoldier would have...

How much for the rights to the home computer OS ROMs? The holding company still has legal claim to them and apparently aggressively pursues anyone distributing them (for emulators etc)... I guess as a moneyspinning exercise, as they're not likely to actually make any money off their genuine use...

Orangina, 7UP, Iced Tea (Nestea for preference), Ginger Ale, various natural juices and concentrated fruit mixes... Oh, and plain water. Seriously, if you're thirsty, just have a glass of that first, even if you still pour a coke after. Your consumption of unhealthy sodas and the like will...

There was a young man from Britain By the computer bug he soon was bitten He said to his mammi "Buy me an Atari" And now his earphones are just full of tunes chippin' Two brothers from deep in the Midland Wished for something to poke with their hand Come Christmas one year They let out...

The tech might not be ubiquitous now, but it will be fairly quickly. Let's put it this way: my TV is a hand-me-down, HDReady LG 32" LCD which is approaching a decade old and really rather showing its age. Connected to it I have a Blu-Ray player with built in SmartTV functions. It cost me...

Quick (though it turns out, not that short), not-even-skimmed response to original assertation: Yep, I agree wholeheartedly. Now, that doesn't automatically mean that all John Williams-esque orchestral game soundtrack music is inherently crap and unmemorable... but there does come a point...

Most, but not all. Otherwise there would be no women's prisons - yet there are enough women criminals that we were once witness to a terrible TV soap opera set within the confines of such a place. There are female thieves, brawlers, murderers, gangers, even bosses... and certainly pimps...

Children. Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 had an androgyne player character model (well, sprite), and you could pick a representative avatar for it from a selection of men and women of various races and styles. The NPC script was crafted to mostly cater for that, though there was occasionally a slip...

To be honest, that's mainly why we watched it together as students, as it was cheaper and easier to get (we were in a tiny college town, shut up) than weed... I'm quoting you mainly because your name made me think "why the hell hasn't France drafted in Daft Punk to write their entry?". I...

I was a bit disappointed this year, it was pretty bland, even in the semis. Certainly over here in the land of Nul Points, where we rarely have a realistic chance of even coming in the top half let alone winning, the only reason to pay it any heed is because it's a guilty pleasure of musical...

QFT. I'd rate my HTC as being very nearly as tough as the 3330 I had back in the day ... but it's definitely exchanged battery life for advanced features. I wouldn't really want to go back to that kind of basic provision (though phone, sms, wap/email (er... I know I had SOME monochrome low-rez...
