This seems sensible, when I was at school we had dumb phones and even those were banned.. And all you could do on those was text message each other!

Here in the UK too we have the NFC thing and we call it 'contactless'. It works well, but the limit is £30 at the moment, although that's slowly increasing by about £5 per year. It's really popular now, all my cards and

I've rented for about seven years and never seen a clause like this. Advice is to change locks when you move in and put them back when you leave. The landlord can't evict you because of this, and the only reason they'd know y

Similar to my wife, she's from Shantou and speaks her local dialect Teochew (pretty much used by everyone in her hometown), Mandarin and also Cantonese fluently. According to her though, everyone in her city speaks the local dialect, a

You mean like when Koko would get the sign wrong about 5 times in a row and her owner would be like "Oh you're so silly" instead of admitting Koko had no idea what was going on? These videos are all highly edited to show what

It's great Firefox 'is back' but I never really left, and when I did try to use Chrome I just felt a bit 'dirty'. For me, whether FF is faster or slower than Chrome is largely irrelevent (unless ofc it's extrem

Well that's completely false. We'll still be abiding by EU laws long after we leave. By 'most people', I'm assuming you mean the 30% who actually voted to leave?

Stop spying on their users and stop the patent extortion against Linux. They only love open source when it benefits them, they don't love it so much when it is able to benefit others or might lead them away from the Windows ecosystem.

I wish we as a race could get over the whole 'this is copied from this'. How am I as a user meant to care? If Android has something I would like as a feature and Apple implements it, that's a win for me as before I didn'

Trying to use Google Maps in Japan was useless, using the buses in Kyoto it wouldn't tell me what stop I'm at, etc. Apple maps could tell me exactly what stop I was at whereas Google Maps was lacking in information. Also, with reg

I was quite happily using the Podcast iOS app until iOS11 where they completely ruined it. Someone recommended that I buy Pocket Casts and I've been using it ever since. One thing that annoys me, when I go to a new Podcast I like to li

That's great when you want to browse Reddit, but often I find Reddit an actual good source for information so I'll click the link from the search engine that then takes me to the "real mobile version" which has the popup

It's completely untrue that those 'religious rules' mean the animal is treated more humanely. "UK Food Standards Agency figures from 2011 suggest 84% of cattle, 81% of sheep and 88% of chickens slaughtered for halal meat
