...or sell them at a stupidly low price? Why "sit" on a stockpile of rapidly depreciating tech? If the price were less than half the price of an iPad they would sell easily. What Microsoft need just now is market penetration. With enough users the apps and accessories will sell, and then the developers will come once there's sufficient volume to make actual money, and THEN they can think about profiting off the NEXT generation, but for now they need to admit this one is a bust and almost give them away. Currently an iPad is what £350.....the Surface tablet would have to be at £100 to tempt me....

Its unclear why twitter are resetting passwords. Is it simply a precaution as the password data is encrypted and useless (as it should be)? Surely in this day and age Twitter aren't storing passwords in clear text?

While placing the tax on fuel would seem like the obvious answer, the high cost of gas in Europe (equivalent of over $8 a gallon) is already a political headache, and any government which proposed to add more tax to an already heavily taxed commodity would soon find themselves very unpopular. People like the idea of being environmentally friendly, being fuel efficient etc, but they love the personal freedom and liberty that cars give them - what they want is a cheaper, more environmentally friendly method of getting around without a loss in what they see as their basic rights.

However, the injunction is only valid in England, so that's not everybody...in fact its nowhere close. How about those twitterers who named Giggs that are based in Scotland/Ireland/Europe/World? Will twitter identify the locality of the tweet before handing over account details of users who have done absolutely nothing wrong? In doing so will twitter breach other privacy laws?
