This. And all the other same replies below. My manager just "upgraded" his old Mac by installing an SSD and gave it to his wife to use. Said it prolonged the life for another few years. I just upgraded RAM and HDD -> SSD on a friends co

AFAIK, Nokia and Microsoft don't make laptops. Portable music players are comparatively cheap and disposable in comparison to a £3000 laptop.

I don't know... Samsung S3 had 9 million pre-orders. I know a lot of people upgrading due to 1) the marketing hype surrounding the new tech 2) in the UK at least your carrier will generally give you an upgrade ever 18-24 months (cost depend

Because it's a stupid view of the world. What if you bought a BMW and they said "sorry, if you want to replace those tyres or wiper blades then you need to bring it in to BMW, even though we don't actually make any of thee parts ourselves

I'm waiting for someone in the UK to invoke the 6 year warranty rule, since obviously if the battery is glued in and the RAM soldered in it's gonna last forever right! http://blogs.thisismoney.co.uk/2010/03/tv-warranty.html

Erm, thought all the new Macs were Intel based now?

with the only things I've replaced being the battery, the HDD and the fan (pretty recently) Errrm, you do realise you can't replace the battery in the Retina MacBook Pro right since it is glued in... probably also the fan and also the HDD

Except may be I can't afford the heavy Apple price tag right now and I only want a 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM to get me started while I save up for a few more months for the other upgrades... not everyone can afford to go all out and go full spe

Exactly. The "public surveillance cameras" in the UK mentioned in the article (although the number is probably a slight exaggeration) have now been turned against us further. So instead of being used to protect the public, they are now bein

But what if that customer HAD to scream loud in order to to get things put right? If the customer rep truly believed that was the policy (whether is was or not) and you keep batting emails back and forth to them... they will not budge. So y

That's exactly what I was thinking. People appear to be making mountains out of mole hills! Looks like a one off, even I make the odd mistake every once in a while :D

I was gonna but this and install Windoze on it... not sure i'll bother now and save myself around £1000 on a similar spec Dell (albeit without the slimness and super sharp screen)

It's not about entitlement, but if you can't support something then either don't provide it or have some other means of supporting the product. There's a million and one forums out there where the forums are self moderated through super use

It doesn't, but you are verifying that a) a bug actually doesn't exist b) showing the "customer" you have actually done something/investigated and not just replied with a standard email template.

Totally agree on your last point. Free or not, that's defo not customer support! Sounds like it was sent by a developer or something, cos it's probably how I would respond, lol.

Not sure I agree with "the site is free so don't expect any service" attitude. The site may be free but if you can't support it then don't provide it. Granted this site doesn't host ads like Gmail, but I expect a level of service from Googl

I agree with your thoughts on reciprocal agreements, although UK -> US is not the same as the other way around, it is MUCH MUCH easier for a US citizen with skills to move here than a UK citizen to go to US. I looked into this a few yea

Immigrants might create social pressure until they're fully integrated, some don't know the language, and some are more likely to commit crimes or cost the state money upon deportation procedures. Surely that's the whole point of the immi

The trick is not to get caught... and if you do get caught, then blame it in on the Chinese/Russians/flavour-of-the-month :D In all seriousness, the spying may not be as hardcore or blatant(!) as say US/China or US/Russia but they are not l

Ha! At least they know they are being played and are not as foolish as they look! :D So very true though! Even if nothing comes of the lawsuit, the amount of time, effort and money that is wasted in defending these must be colossal!

If you're gonna go to that amount of trouble then why not steal everything, including CC numbers and why not target everyone, not just specific states?

I'm sure the US spies on pretty much everyone, friend or foe... and it's probably the same the other way round too!

Anyone know what the situation is with Google in the rest of the world? I know they have offices in various locations around Europe for example, and they have to comply with the recent EU "Cookie Laws"... which laws apply then? (I can't rec

Great, will read through the article and play around to see what the option does on my brothers Nikon D60 (I've been playing around with his camera before deciding whether to splash out). Great pictures, looked at them briefly, will look at

Yes, exactly. I regularly use them for Google Maps for example, which incidentally has an option right there on the interface now (I used to shorten via bit.ly). Why? Because it is easier to send to someone when I need to send them driving

Lol, yeah, it wasn't very clear but I don't think they can dumb page down any more at a later stage, lol

Yeah, and does it have internal storage... if so how much, and how much is free user space... if not, how do i add storage, usb? I like how the specifications tab just gives us 2 pictures. Really, that's the specifications? Now I know there

I am guessing he is American, they HATE Assange with a vengeance, saying he put soldiers lives at risk by publishing the truth. Right... Given that it was Memorial Day, emotions might be running higher still.
