Re: Google's New Operating System

Google OS shouldnt become clooged because its basically a thin Linux shell with a built in web browser, with some bits from Android (Googles linux os for mobile devices, such as phones etc.) The idea is that this thin client will use web based apps, such as googles new "cloud" based email/IM ...

Re: ready for more cctv?

Hummmm.... Funny how these things are only reported and news worthy when they affect london or the home counties. In Ilkeston (Erewash council) we've had a CCTV requirement for all premeses opening "late" even if its something like a chippy and all licenced premesis no matter what time they open for ...

Re: So what exactly is a fair sentence?

Personally for the death by dangerous driving incedent I think it should have been much higher, especially as I believe the max is now 14 years. That said I'm not sure when that passed into law and if the incident was prior. There was, I'm guessing, no proof that the driver was using the laptop and ...

Re: richard hammond & morrisons

Seems strange that if sansburrys are paying circa 1M that they'd not use him as much... surely it would be a better buisiness model to get one new advert a week for that kind of cash :-/ Mind you... as he's now seen as TMATOTY (The most annoying twat of the year) its probably a good idea hes not on ...

Re: Video Camera Question

I thought it was a gimick, but the video capabilities on canon's 50dMk2 DSLR seem amazing from some of the clips now doing the rounds. That said, i'm not convinced that (despite its quality) its the way forward because of the physical characteristics of the slr body... maybe if they shove the ...

Re: Macca to play Isreal

I quite liked No more lonely nights... and not forgetting the classic Frog chorus "burp burp, bawup burp burp bawup, we all sing together." LoL.
