I know you joke, but it would be Sony Ericsson filing against LG, not Sony (which only half owns SE). This is different from Motorola, where they are all the same company.

No the the installation of Chrome in the %user% folder is an an absolute pain. I'm sure the only reason google did this is to make it easy to install, but that doesn't make it the best place. Programs go in program files/system directories, NOT in userdata. I also hate the fact it doesn't just "update", it creates an entirely new directory everytime for that particular version, so you end up with loads of redundant folders.
No other major app does this, why can google get away with it?
You realise right that the PS2 easily lasted the 10 years Sony said it would. It doesn't mean a 10 year gap between consoles as there will always be some overlap.
Except that Sony never said it had Toy Story graphics, It was all built up in the press, but they never once mentioned Toy Story itself.
London has the Dockland's Light Railway that has no drivers.
That's not entirely true though. Yes they don't have drivers per se, but they still have a trained staff member on board at all times, to manually control the train in the event of an emergency and to generally control when the train leaves and departs, - especially during peak hours, when the network is busy.
It's not 3rd party controllers, it's 3rd party unlicensed controllers which are not allowed. Microsoft and Nintendo do EXACTLY the same with their consoles. The difference is Sony has never enforced this until now.
Minor correction, the throttling actually lasts 5 hours 10am-3pm and 4pm to 9pm for downloads, although the upload is 3pm - 8pm, so there is an overlap. But still it is a pain. The daytime cap is not too bad, but the 1.5GB during the evening is so easy to go over, I often get throttled back to 2.5Mb.
...to see how long it takes before Apple "fixes" this and "saves" people from the "horror" that is flash - whether we want him to or not.
FTFA, the author didn't say that Symbian has no touch capabilities, at all, only the summary says that.
The article actually says "the Symbian OS -- was a big problem due to its lack of a user interface for touchscreens," There's as big difference.
Except in the case of cars with limits at 155mph, it's more down to the fact that even though the car is capable of doing that, it's not necessarily safe to do so in its current setup.
They put a cap of 155mph to keep costs down, as otherwise the whole car would need to be tested more thoroughly at those higher speeds, and would need better tyres etc.
Perhaps, but I'd rather have a choice, and don't want to be an Apple sheep with Steve making it for me.
Besides you said it yourself, nothing has been designed for touch input, that doesn't mean it won't be and considering this is the first release ever, I'll forgive them if it's not completely perfect.
Well to be fair the UK doesn't use the metric system completey either. Not quite as bad as the US, but a lot of stuff is still in imperial.
100 to 200 Kb/s is incredibly slow for 3G. I'm with T-Mobile (UK) and can easily get 4-5Mb/s in the right area if not more. Of course it can vary, but even then I'd still expect at least 1-2Mb/s
Well from TFA,the Judge would have let him off had he not originally lied to the police about what happened.
Have you seen ANY women around here?
