I'd be more worried about cars driving past my house taking photos & snooping private data from my wifi. Oh wait.......its only Google so its OK.

Then a taser isn't the last resort is it ? Shooting is the last resort, the taser comes somewhere before that. Its not difficult.

II believe in global warming, but not in anthropogenic global warming. Failure to differentiate is attempting to undermine agw opponents.

The quoted article says "We do not claim that the results presented here are scientifically permissible." - lol, what a waste of bandwidth.

So he got a bad review on Amazon App store he couldn't reply to & affected sales ? I have exactly the same problem on Android Marketplace, some user didn't realise what the app did (its a Utility not a game) & posted a "Dont waste your money" review on a £0.99 app. I refunded him, but I can't respond to his comments, reply to him or have the comments withdrawn, my sales slumped after that. Android Market place is no better than Amazon on this point.

The issue here is that not everyone in the UK wants to get online.

Try long range target shooting IRL, perfect example of trajectories in practice.

Sounds like their chasing their dream of dictating what you install & run on your PC, and who is "allowed" to connect to the internet. Think we all know where they can stick that certificate.

So what your saying is "Bring back DOS & make Windows run on top of it." - Check.

Maybe we should tax cars to pay for the man who walks in front with the red flag being made superflous ? Oh wait, technology has surpassed him already. In the words of Nelson "HaHa - your medium is dying". Anyone who responds "There's being right & There's being nice" will gain extra kudos. ;-)

So instead of being dishonest, we are told they just aren't very good at their job. So much for maintaining credibility.

Spot on ! Anyone who bought Battlefield Bad Company 2 for PC, and had low-spec hardware - still within min specs but not the latest - will know this ! EA made a bad job of specifying the min specs, what they said should work did not. To make it worse, they have done nothing about resolving the problem or even acknowledging a problem, its been left to gamers to post in forums & solve this. PC gaming will always face such problems, console versions only take away resources from the PC development cycle.

"Thats not IRONY chumps & chumpettes, its just coincidental".

I know. But objections should come from an independant source, not a commercial rival.

If M$ were offered the same deal, they would snap it up immediately & not have such objections to it. I would prefer to see Google running this than M$.
