Hoo

You dare mention a man that was partly responsible for downgrading Pluto? Shame!

That's why it's a TV (Television) standard...

The article (and in fact most similar articles I have read) seem to take nothing into account regarding automatic and manual gearboxes. There is a massive difference between talking on a phone whilst changing gear and whilst driving an automatic car.

In the mobile world this holds true even more so than on the desktop. If they can push this kind of development (especially with the hardware capabilities of modern phones) it would be great for phone hardware in the long term.

Don't piss on your telly again, and you should be fine.

"100MB/s per month" How many MB/s does that equate to per second?

And guess how people end up remembering these passwords. Post-it notes within the vicinity of the PC seems to be a favourite.

Enforcing people to change passwords regularly seems to have many drawbacks. I really don't understand the point.

Umm, no it isn't. Crazy by Gnarles Barkley was the first song to reach number one in the UK on downloads alone. This was the first song to be the Christmas number 1 on downloads alone.
