Anyone remember BT suing Prodigy some 10 years ago regarding their claim to the Hyperlink???

I recently purchased a Sony DVD/Bluray with internet TV. The interface for the internet TV sucks balls: the BBC iPlayer interface gets all buggered up, cursor navigates to empty space when selecting shows, etc... Over to you Apple.

Hello! University drop out here. Specifically Maths/Science/Engineering dropout from Canada circa '89... Posting in agreement.

I'm not convinced. Clearly the only way for me to appreciate how good I have it with the Blackberry Torch is to upgrade to an iPhone. Surely I will then come crawling back to RIM begging for forgiveness.
Look, I have been using Blackberries for years; I upgraded to a Torch after putting my Bold through the washing machine. That was a £400 expense. That's $640 Canadian dollars for all you hoser RIM fanboys out there; and I know who you are: Comsci and PEng grads in EE or CE from Waterloo, UofT, UBC, etc... who although well educated technically do not have a creative or artistic bone in your body (hence the uncompetitive nature of the tech industry in Canada). What am I supposed to do to stay believing in RIM? Drop another £400 6-months later on the second gen Torch? Forget it. RIM released the Torch too early: it was underpowered. I got screwed and have a right to hate the product.
@DaedalusIcarusHelios Yes, it was the first gen Torch. Thx for the BES Express tip; I will look into it.

Loyal but pi**ed off Blackberry user here... I was impacted by the outage last week. Run a small consulting firm, no BES so I am reliant on Blackberry's infrastructure via my mobile telco. Listen here RIM, if I wanted apps I'd buy an iPhone. Any compensation for us business users? Blackberry's roots are with business users and the enterprise environment, which is why I have continued to suffer with the device as more flash products have been released by RIM's competitors. Last week's outage was such a serious blow to RIM as the back-end Blackberry infrastructure remains their only remaining advantage. The Blackberry Torch -- which I loath for many reasons -- is so gutless that it is barely usable for surfing the web let alone for running Apps. RIM has taken last week's disaster as an opportunity to market their no-doubt underutilized App store. Very disappointing RIM...

It was fucking massive. Is that better?

These are not the online productivity tools you are looking for...

As a 12 year old in the early 80s I broke my right arm while playing "tag" on a large climbing frame made of logs. Our variation of tag saw that the ground was "out of bounds"; I fell off when attempting to tag a friend and smashed my arm on a log on the way down. I had a cool cast -- which wasn't my first -- and I healed. Accidents like this by high risk lads shouldn't ruin it for all of the other children. Bring back the 10 ft climbing frames!

What is the UK planning to do about nuclear waste? It cannot be kept in cooling ponds forever. I just watched the intriguing documentary Into Eternity the other day (99p rental on iTunes) about Onkalo, the massive network of tunnels the Finnish are digging in solid bedrock in which will become a giant subterranean depository for the country's nuclear waste. The documentary reminds us that nuclear waste remains harmful for something like 100,000 years, and shockingly they reveal that although Onkalo will be used only for Finnish nuclear waste, the country will need to dig many more Onkalos to handle all of it! What hope is there for countries that are not on a shield of bedrock? Why isn't Canada doing something similar? (Think Canadian Shield.) I recall the US was going to proceed with Yucca Mountain, but Obama slashed the budget that would have funded the work...

It is a movie projector! You kids, I have to tell ya; why back in my days............

Hey, me too. I have Sunshine on DVD. Movie fucking freaked me out. Alex Garland knows that such missions are doomed! Don't do it!

Where the hell are all of the robots Japan has been promoting over the years? Instead of designing robots that mimic facial expressions or perform synchronous dance routines, why didn't they build any that could assist with such an obvious catastrophe? FFS Japan: get with the program!

What is this "CD" that you talk about???

Doh! I wanted to make this joke!!!!
