The way it was phrased I thought something else was meant - I don't thing microsoft bundling IE (they didn't actually restrict you from using other products?) isn't as bad as what Apple are doing with its apps. I thought R__ meant Microsoft actually tried to stop other people's programs working the way apple does.

that's... bleak, R__ What does "It used to be Microsoft that wanted only their own products to work online, and for a time they were successful." refer to?

maybe I should give it one more try if I ever spot it on TV again.

I keep starting to watch the film Swingers, but I just find everyone in it so annoying I can't get through it.

Yeah, sorry, I could have made that clearer. EDIT: by that I mean I'd like opinions from people who've read Let the right one in by lindqvist. It's only £1.01 though so I may just get it.

Anyone read the book the film is based on? It's cheap at the moment on Kindle but had mixed reviews

Hi, Para. Did you get your hand back in one piece? And did it smell?! I never realised elephants were so hairy.

Glad you didn't turn it into a 'is cartoon offensive' response! I did wonder what I should put and did type Bollywood originally but deleted it as I didn't know if it was considered a derisory term.

Anyone know any other good Indian songs?

See, that's why Apple genuinely deserve to be hated - I won't be surprised if they start suing phone companies with front facing cameras now they've finally got around to implementing video calls - sorry face time.

Didn't they say the PS2 had a 10 year life cycle even though a large part of it overlapped with the PS3? So 10 years doesn't necessarily mean they'll wait 10 years to release a new console, just that they'll support their current one for 10 years.

erm, "press start" is about the most I can quote - but it covers a lot of games!

yeah, it's more the 'you may also like' as you say, it's not there. I don't like just clicking randomly on stuff and hoping I will like it.

Don't know if this is the right place for this so apologies in advance. They've made the Under Siege: First Encounter comic free as an apology for the game being late.

I don't 100% understand soundcloud.

oh, so no streaming service. never mind - I tend to just use youtube now to find music but I'd rather use a proper music site.

When you weaned yourself off Spotify, what did you replace it with? I am always disappointed by last.fm each time I try it.

I didn't realise House was so popular.

Spotify is changing its free service by cutting the number of hours you can listen per month in half from 20 to 10. It is also reducing the number of times you can listen to a track from unlimited to 5 times per month. Link They're really hoping to push you onto the premium service! My worry is they will start tiering their paid services once they completely cripple the free version.

There's always Elite...

Looks interesting. It's an Action RPG. Arstechnica likes it. EDIT: The game's Spiral Knights - probably should have mentioned that.

Ignoring your last part of your post, I hope you weren't inferring from my post I "wanna fuck" Miss Marple of Jessica Fletcher.

huh, they don't have detectives outside the EU, or do you mean it is mostly crime procedurals with ensemble casts nowadays?

lol, if you have to ask...

Mine's a toss-up between Miss Marple and Jessica Fletcher - I think I prefer the gentler style of investigation.
