Comment Re:Too much innovation (Score 1) 33

Wow, mouse support. Where will all this mind-boggling innovation end? Maybe some day you'll be able to click on stuff too!

Please, Apple engineers, I beg you- stop with all these amazing inventions or pretty soon there won't be anything left for future generations to invent.

What the iPad really needs is some kind of external storage medium. Imagine a disc of plastic, coated with some kind of magnetic coating.. onto which you could save documents. These discs would be easily damaged, so a plastic casing would be needed. About 3 1/2 inches in diameter would be about right, and should store up to about one MILLION bytes....

I don't see what the fuss is all about! Relations between the East and West have never been better. The UK, and large parts of Europe will be dependent on Russian Gas for many many years, which is fine. I don't have a problem with that. The hundreds of years of supply of Coal reserves that the UK has should stay in the ground where it belongs. All UK citizens are totally happy to two or three times more for their power.

Comment Microsoft killed .Net. (Score 4, Interesting) 250

Microsoft sealed the fate of .Net by not choosing it as the basis for Windows 8.x and the metro UI. That indicated that Microsoft no longer sees .Net as the next gen framework for Windows, .Net has, of course, done its job. Which was to kill Java. Which, for desktop applications, it has.

As a Windows developer, it leaves me with somewhat of a dilemma. Which framework is the way forward on the Windows platform? It's not MFC, nor Silverlight. Is it .Net? Is it Metro?

Comment BBC News does this all the time. (Score 5, Interesting) 125

The BBC news website, and App has a regular piece reporting what the papers are reporting, and shows photographs of the front pages of all the big UK papers. The review of 'tomorrow's papers is also a regular feature on one of the late news programmes broadcast on the BBC.

The Times, yet again, demonstrates just how poor its journalism is, by trying to use the DMCA to remove any criticism of the paper.
