    From The Register article about the US Apple/Samsung lawsuit. So it's OK to copy decades of research and experience from other companies on a feature that makes a phone a phone and that a company could come up with a unique design for and is a genuine issue for users (and we know how they ballsed that up when they used their own design on the iPhone 4) but it's not OK for other companies to make a phone that uses something as ground-breaking as a rectangle.
  2. my favourite Jeremy Kyle clip: edit: doesn't want start at selected time. Watch from 2.20 for 30 seconds. pretty hilarious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i8cRmH-9zc&feature=player_detailpage#t=134s
  3. Scottish. Probably a whole other topic:

      My grans next door is being renovated and it flooded through. Seems they didn't much put thought in the stream that runs alongside.

      Thanks! We're running scenic boat tours if you're interested.

  5. I need to play the first one still - had it sitting in my pile for ages. Just need to get it out of the way before I get the second one for WIi U.
  6. well, I bought some camp. it's water, sugar, chicory and coffee and has a syrupy viscosity. I had it mixed with cold milk - I enjoyed it. It tastes like cold coffee with a slight after taste of caramel and burnt sugar, but not unpleasant.
  7. that's best when some gremlin in the system means a phantom bar 'sticks' to the page as you scroll down and covers the link you want.

    i don't know about the cables but the packaging is included in the lawsuit.
  9. Has anyone had a look at the music bundle they're doing? Wonder if they've played out all the indie games anyone actually wants/has heard of. Do people think it's a good idea they're diversifying or are the losing direction?

    it's as true as you want it to be.
  11. Everything's 50% at the Square Enix Store including, e.g. Quantum Conundrum for £5.
  12. I use wp7 on a lumia 800. I love the phone but agree to the lack of apps that doesn't bother me though, so I guess that's a personal opinion depending on what you want from it. I'll also confirm bdh's comment about current phones not getting the upgrade to 8. They'll get a major update on wp8 release which will have a lot of the features such as resizeable live tiles and I think integrating Nokia maps. But several major features of windows 8 are hardware based such as support for dual core processors and SD cards which is why current phones aren't being upgraded. So I'd definitely wait if you can. I've never had an IDevice but I much prefer wp to android personally and when I get a new phone it will be windows .
  13. Our most successful Olympian ever. Still less medals than Phelps got in one games Though, lol.
  14. That's not the worst thing they could have done though. At least they haven't changed the recipe for the chocolate bars
  15. Yes to drink. You add it in to hot milk or cold milk and ice. Edit. You've given me an idea. If its too gross to drink I could make coffee fairy cakes which would give me an excuse to buy that chocolate Philadelphia I've been wanting to try.
  16. I've always wanted to try camp, though admittedly mostly because of the name.
  17. Two south Korean teams are disqualified one Chinese and one indonesian too So four in total. South Korea and Indonesia are appealing.
  18. Maybe he uses it instead of the stylus for his samsung note? Seriously though, you say touch wood here - and usually tap your noggin if there is no actual wood around.
  19. It's pretty cool actually, apparently the BBC is literally broadcasting every single event, the first time in Olympic history it's been done so you're not just stuck with the popular stuff and it's all thanks to the unique way the BBC is funded. ;-)
  20. What's up with NBCs coverage? Just reading about people complaining that it's delayed. How bad is it?
  21. Looting bodies is how get all the medicine I use for the whole game. I know it's cheap to buy but I have a pathological inability to purchase stuff in game I can get for free like potions in RPGs.
  22. Posting this from my new Nexus 7 :-)
  23. Imagine isn't a Beatles song. Not sure how to be any clearer? And while Hey Jude may not have an Olympic message it is a song the whole crowd could sing along to which is a fairly decent reason to choose it in a massive stadium.
