Is this an April fools? These are not "3D" pictures. There's nothing 'amazing' here IMHO.

"it's fairly well acknowledged that Apple's copy/paste is the slickest/easiest implementation out there on a mobile device." I strongly disagree with that. Provide some evidence. For me, it has a false positive rate of about 50% - eg half

I think it's more the fact that they even bother to make an announcement about such a simple feature as copy+paste. They should be announcing cool awesome features no other device has got. Here's some 'wow' features on my Nexus One which I

I disagree. When I had an iPhone I'd often accidentally select text when I didn't want to. It was not reliable what it was going to do. Is it going to scroll this time, or think I'm selecting text? From what I've experienced of android in t

Exactly. Wake me up when they come out with a rollup screen. Or a watch that projects a screen into midair. Or glasses that have inbuilt augmented reality etc but look exactly like normal glasses. Come on scientists!!! How hard can this s

It's not just about nudity, it's about social acceptability. Apple seem to be on some content policing crusade which is ill judged IMHO, but it's fairly obvious why this is censored.

Maybe the people to blame are the US public who complain if gas prices rise above "So cheap I don't care". Try paying £1.20/liter for petrol. Then everyone will use less.

This is depressing on so many levels. If Google continue down this path, we'll need a new search engine startup that does what Google did 10 years ago.

Right. All of the hate directed at BP is a little unfair, since it wasn't actually them operating the rig at the time. But then we as a society need someone to blame, and who better to blame than a big company.

Definitely. That's what I would do if I was doing apps. Crank out as many low quality novelty apps as you can. Make one a day for a year. That's giving people what they want. For many, the whole point of an app-store is to find fun novelty

I absolutely do not believe Unions to be a good thing. They're about bullying and mob mentality. Sorry, you won't convince me otherwise :/ If you decide to strike, you should be sacked. Simple. You've broken your side of a contract to work.

Yeah I agree. It depends on how brave they feel as to how far they push. But it's definitely something that could be worked into the Glee formula. An alternate scenario would go something like Rachel is sharing her singing on youtube and

Come to the UK and spend a while enduring the strikes by Union members. They hold their employer to ransom, trying to blackmail cash out of them, while the public/customers suffer. Also read up on Walt Disneys biography. Unions pretty much

No I don't, if I don't want to work on the weekend, I don't. It looks like possibly the Unions had something to do with weekends in the US, so perhaps you're thanking them for that. I think globally the practice of resting on the sabbath go
