Great memories with this computer. And it was so far ahead of all competitors : even the predecessor of the Acorn BBC B (the Electron) already had 2Mhz and 32KB RAM and was networkable using a thing called Econet.
The BBC B+ could be expanded up to 128KByte and had a second processor (we're talking 1986 !!!!), teletext-reader, lightpen that allowed you to draw by using a pen on your screen (think tablet !) and so on.
And then Archimedes with its 32-bit RISC CPU came in 1987 (!), doing 4 MIPS and offering a Windowed operating system that booted from EEPROM instantly (switch it on and it's there).
Any mobile device with an ARM chip (think Android, tablets, Blackberry, etc.) is based on the architecture that was spawned in the 80s by Acorn (ARM = Acorn Risc Machine).
I'm glad and privileged to have worked with those great devices !
Are you joking or do you need some geography as well ?
Seems like that's another journalist who needs to take geography classes... first he talks about a company from Luxemburg, then he says it's located in Belgium... quite a difference !
In fact, I have a solution to all their privacy problems. But maybe this time I should file for a patent first, otherwise my idea becomes Google++
Has the author considered that the percentage of support calls for hardware problems is higher because there are simply less calls for software issues ?
Percentages don't mean a thing if you don't compare the total number of phones sold to the number of calls...
Has been working fine in Belgium for about 10 years or so. Several of the major stores offer this service for a small fee.
Lactose intolerance isn't uncommon in Europe. Although the milk-drinking Dutch only have 1% of their population having lactose intolerance, the average in Europe is around 20%.
I'm happy there's at least 1 brand producing lactose-free products in Europe now, but it should be a standard for everyone !
So was Atlantis originally located in the Mediterranean Basin ?
Or did I watch too much Stargate ?

And no, that's not an opinion story, it's a Gartner report.
The iPhones will end up in the bin as quickly as they were bought...
Funny that the first citywide mobile phone was introduced in Japan (1979) and Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden in 1981. US followed 2 years later. And I'm not even talking about 2G, G3, G3+ and G4 standards, where the gap is even bigger.
Oh and you probably think Nokia is an American company... and T-Mobile probably is American in your mind too ?
Also noteworthy : the first American company on the list of largest mobile phone networks is at #13.
Wake up and look outside... there's more to see outside the US than inside !
Uh ? Where have you been living ? Pluto ?
Yup, Frank The Winner
