Come on, give us some credit. Maybe it's just because I don't live in the US that I'm aware that there's a country called Georgia.

It's like in most Hollywood movies when they write "Beijing, China", or "Paris, France", but then write "San Francisco, California".

Are we backing Sony at the moment?

Uploading a fake torrent would only work for about an hour before all the leechers find out it's bad and stop downloading, reducing the number of seeders to less than a dozen.

All these studios (not just Sony) need to realize that people don't want to subscribe to an entire suite of channels just to watch 1 show. HBO seems to get this, but I imagine their new service will only work in the US, meaning the rest of us will have to get Game Of Thrones the usual way.

According to Torrent Freak, a lot of other sites have gone down, including EZTV, Zoink, Torrage and the Istole tracker (I can't confirm though because I'm at work).

Disgruntled GTA V fans have called upon Target to withdraw the Bible from sale, for exactly the same reason.

let Google slide their camel under the tent.

I think you mean "Let Google slide their camel's nose into the tent".

Unless you're making a reference to some weird sex thing I don't know about.

Google+ is popular?

Clearly you don't live in Britain, otherwise you'd understand how polite and accommodating we are.

If there are no seats, ask a fellow passenger if you can sit on their lap. They'll usually oblige, unless they have a very good reason.

Try it the next time you visit.

I'm genuinely curious here, do any Slashdotters use Siri on a regular (let's say daily) basis? What do you use it for?

I've always thought this kind of tech to be more of a gimmick, something to show your mates every now and again.

"You're sitting wrong."

No.

I was an iPhone fan when they first came out. I remember standing in the phone shops, looking at the Android phones running the laggy Gingerbread and wondering why anyone would want to buy a POS like that.

Then I ran into antenna-gate while I was trying to get a job. Eventually I told callers that I had an iPhone so if the call ended suddenly it was because of that, and not because I'd just hung up on them. As soon as my contract was up I moved to Android.

I'm sure it's fast and simple to use, but ultimately it's a phone. And if I can't make calls on it, then it's going in the bin.

Some of your generics are American based, and I ended up having to stop my Hoovering to Google what they are.

I was in Cuba earlier this year. They seem to be doing OK for themselves.

Sure, there are towns outside of Havana and Trinidad where there isn't a lot to do, but I didn't see any real evidence of extreme poverty.

As far as I could see, the only thing the embargo is doing is preventing (most) Americans from visiting the place.
