Google Wallet the only Android NFC payment system? I must be imagining being able to pay with EE MasterCard NFC on my Samsung S4 then?

How about some 50fps videos? Actually, I'd settle for 25fps.

Not sure how I'm supposed to cook the chips, or is that what the candle is for?

Started with Acorn's MOS, then to RISC OS and finally to Linux. Got no plans on going anywhere near Windows or Mac OS.

I was just thinking it was another one of those silly Americanisms!

Exactly, it is where we park cars. What do you do in a parking lot, bid on cars?

I've never owned a cell phone, but I got my first mobile phone around 1999.

Not every country uses 30/60fps like the USA, why not release them in 25/50fps too?

Linux on all my computers and server at home Android on my phone and TV box Windows at work - not my choice :( Does Rockbox on an iPod also count?

Don't worry Microsoft can't even release a version of Windows that uses the proper version of English rather than the American version! Favorits, color etc.

I think you'll find that the extra day off is next Tuesday and not this Friday. Oh and Ubuntu has been showing the correct bank holiday for at least a year.

I'm sure they used to do things to speed it up like sending the most viewed pages more often and I've seen some services - ARTE for example - where the pages counted down rather than up, but they also showed messages instead of the clock too. ISTR there were some extensions to the original teletext that would allow up to 4096 colours and other special effects.

I'm sure I've seen this in some of the more expensive programmable remote controls where the display changes to show different buttons after you've pressed one button.

Does this mean that Apple will get sued for their iBook?
