Judging by the buttons 1,2,3,4 I'd say this is a generic pc gamepad not a playstation controller.

The only reason I started using Ad-Block was because I was sick of pop up ads whilst watching videos, especially ones which do not apply to my country. I've actually started white listing sites with reasonable adverts now as I realise how much I value certain sites, and the adverts can be quite relevant.

That price probably includes our 20% sales tax (VAT) making it £208 or $334.

There was an unofficial iplayer app for android which did not require flash, unfortunately it got banned. From what I heard flash is used because of DRM.

Dropping iGoogle support is probably one of their worst decisions ever why else would I even make google my home page?

It probably doesn't directly make them money but if that's their reason for dropping it I might have to abandon gMail before that gets killed off.

Javascript links in quite nicely and it runs in browser so no IDE needed. I know Internet Explorer and Chrome have a debugger built in so you should be able to get something together pretty quick.

Only one school in my area out of six taught A-level computing (not ICT) I think only about 10 of us actually completed the A2. Unless there is a massive increase in demand for the subject, 100 teachers could cover a big area.

Yes "The pirate bay seems to be down" is what you get when you visit that link.

I guess according to the description on Wikipedia "The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for people to buy and use primarily for playing video games on a TV" - this device would be classed as a console.

What's interesting is this device allegedly runs off the shelf PC hardware, can play any PC game, allows for rival services and has no dev kit or licensing. I'm going to assume this device will have to run Windows to meet those goals. Therefore all valve have done is create a standardised PC.

I can only see this taking off if they can sell enough to keep the price down. Valve could become some serious competition to media PCs and standard games consoles.

(I've never driven an automatic) I'd argue having a manual forces you to pay more attention to the road as you have to anticipate gear changes, especially when approaching junctions. With an automatic your more likely to believe you can do something else whilst driving like holding a mobile, as you only need one hand.

I believe Google are doing to make sure that the customer knows exactly what makes a chromebook different from a standard laptop.
Would you rely on a computer store to with a completely new type of device?

Also the retailer can't sell additional services, no MS Office, no anti-virus etc so they would probably try and steer the consumer into buying a standard laptop.

What about searches that were a mistake and corrected.

I admit that sometimes I use google as a spell checker and never click through to a page. I'm sure other people do this.

Surprising how much it looks like the wiiu controller. I wonder if Sony plan to have similar connectivity with the PS3.
