Rockwell is a noted self-publicist with a politician's reputation for truth and accuracy. Nikon can take their PR shots with whatever is best, should P&S publicity shots be taken with that P&S model? Of course not. If on the other t

"(it's a perma-warm topic in the UK)" No, most English people don't give a toss. It is a warm topic in Scotland so long as you don't ask how its going to be paid for.

That depends on their tax policies. Spending plans less English handouts leaves a huge gap to fill. Of course they'll try to support fledgling businesses but if the large wealthy businesses (and people) leave then ... I know plenty of busin

Actually all you need to do is permit people to enter wildcards and print the results if (say) less than 100 matches are found, so they enter 1234 6789 and you search for 1234 6789

FFS! If you notice, swap them round. If the original author is using bundled earbuds for critical listening then he is not the audiophile he flatters himself to be. Rather, I suspect this is some kind of ODCish reaction to being uncertain w

You do not get real foreign accents on prime time American television, the viewers would be bemused and look for subtitles. You get what Americans think are foreign accents, i.e. lightly accented. The one exception is that Brits playing bad

It might be a gigabyte if there were about 90 characters per line 1 or 2 gigabytes tops? "on the order of gigabytes" is a rather pretentious way of saying that.

God, this is depressing, lots of whiny fandroids who can't even f---ing read. These morons have taken the article title as a literal synposis, it is being ironic (and yes, we know that Americans famously don't get irony). The authors (one o

A splendidly heroic way to miss the point. Someone who doesn't complain isn't actively trying not to complain, they are content with their lot. Thus, forcing yourself yourself not to complain is as silly an ambition as declaring "I will not

Perhaps intelligent people (as opposed to those with some form of OCD) don't need masses of detail for passing items of interest. It just meant to shows a pattern in a quick and accessible fashion. If they wanted to maximise user interpreta

Really? Is this because the same things were being tried in both courts? Or because the Japanese are racist? Or perhaps because the Japanese don't particularly like (or benefit from the success of) Apple? If anything, your comment is nonsen

This is just a feeble attempt at discrediting Apple, pathetic really. "how does that not qualify as obvious?" If it was indeed so obvious for so long why did we have to wait until Apple did it for every one to realise it? Either Apple innov

OK, my take on this is that I need a framework to operate within. The frameworks I have chosen are Weight Watchers because it gives me a daily food budget which I can fine tune depending on whether I think I am losing enough weight (0.5-1Kg

This judgement says nothing about innovation. Note to whiners: copying isn't innovation. Apple innovate (and have exceptional design taste), that is why they are successful. Samsung just produce thinly disguised, poorly made knock-offs. Sam

Ultimately this is a religious issue. The frothing anti-Apple hordes will never admit that Apple innovated and will always see Apple as in the wrong because, well, Apple is evil. These people then jump through logical hoops to justify their

Ridiculous fandroid carping by Jaques. Samsung copied Apple feature for feature, the only difference they added was inferior workmanship. If all Samsung wanted to do was copy Apple then they should have licensed Apple's patents.

Oh for God's sake! These are OLD people, they remember public transport (which also still exists in Europe). A fake cafe, a fake second hand bookshop, anything that will make them pause and get less agitated.

If you're having trouble describing what it is (and so far, failing to make it sound compelling) then it will be difficult for prospective customers to decide if they want your service. I keep seeing this sort of stuff. "Curated discovery s

I was responding to the suggestion that such "manipulation" was tragically sad. The fact of the illusion being necessary is tragically sad but it happens all of our lives, why stop with senility?

"Tragically sad?" This is brilliantly creative, and much more humane than keeping them under lock and key or in restraints.

Buy a good fountain pen, write slowly. Start by getting cheap pens, preferably those with interchangeable nibs to see which nib size you prefer using. When you know which size you like (for most people it will be medium) get a decent pen

So you're suggesting some purchasers of Apple products are vapid enough (and monied enough) to buy them out of "goodwill" towards Apple? It's possible, of course an alternative is that you haven't a clue what you are talking about. I know w

Parallels pull pretty much the same trick and will on Sep 4th when Parallels 8 comes out. For me P7 works for Linux and Mountain Lion, doubt I will upgrade.
