I'm not sure how to answer that.

I'm not entirely sure you know what question you are asking, so I'll just smile and nod. :)

Emphatically NO

Horses per Submarine!

You have made my day. If I only had mod points this evening!

Nah, their stock levels appear to be accurate. Bought two from them recently*, and they're active on twitter.

Ah well you've missed the boat ... someone bought the last one!

*Just before the upgraded Sony units were released.

Seriously, Element 14 is a good alternative. But RS were utter rubbish at it!

He probably thinks that Texas IS a country.

Well spotted my, erm, ironic misspelling. :p

*BUZZ* Wrong. We do ... but it's not the same as "free speech" in the States.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_by_country#United_Kingdom

In 1998, the United Kingdom incorporated the European Convention, and the guarantee of freedom of expression it contains in Article 10, into its domestic law under the Human Rights Act. However there is a broad sweep of exceptions including threatening, abusive, or insulting speech or behavior likely to cause a breach of the peace (which has been used to prohibit racist speech targeted at individuals),[61][62] incitement,[63] incitement to racial hatred,[64] incitement to religious hatred, incitement to terrorism including encouragement of terrorism and dissemination of terrorist publications,[63][65] glorifying terrorism,[66][67] collection or possession of information likely to be of use to a terrorist,[68][69] treason including imagining the death of the monarch,[70] sedition,[70] obscenity, indecency including corruption of public morals and outraging public decency,[71] defamation,[72] prior restraint, restrictions on court reporting including names of victims and evidence and prejudicing or interfering with court proceedings,[73][74] prohibition of post-trial interviews with jurors,[74] scandalising the court by criticising or murmuring judges,[74][75] time, manner, and place restrictions,[76] harassment, privileged communications, trade secrets, classified material, copyright, patents, military conduct, and limitations on commercial speech such as advertising

I wish I had kept the PCW bluesky issue in the late 80s(?)/early 90s it showed (essentially) a super slim iPad with haptic feedback with video tiles etc.

Of course framed tiles (icons) which updated were in RiscOS as I recall.

Seriously?

A) How was this even granted a patent in 2000? It's really obvious, to anyone with a computing degree.

B) How it wasn't picked up on a patent search.

C) Why didn't they sue two years ago when WP7 was released?

Software patents are fundamentally wrong :(

Okay, I'll get right on it.

What size would you like? 4ft,5ft, 5ft 5", 6ft, 6ft6", or 7ft?
