    Interesting article. Maybe from the ashes will emerge a better HMV?
    Had forgotten about Jessops. Nuff said.

    Not Apples original idea is it?, my mobile phones were o2 XDA’s and touch screens long before the iPads etc ever arrived on the scene.

    Yeah, but Apple introduced the `swipe` technology. Touch screens have been around since the 70’s (at least) but only Apple made it popular.

    Isn’t this one of those enthusiast annoyances that doesn’t rearly matter.
    Train forums probably complain about the steam trains being wrong. Truck forums about the trucks. Gun forums about the weapons etc. If you analyse any film in detail you can probably find fault with everything.
    If you have time to analyse the scenery in a program it probably isn’t very intersting anyway.

    I remember one forum where somebody pointed out that in the film Gladiator one of the charioteers was wearing rubber soled boots!

    I think you are all being a bit unfair to Apple.
    Before the Apple iPod, iPhone and the revolutionary touch screen, simple finger controls and sleek design (you have to admit that the sleek white iPod is a design classic) there were just mobile phones.
    I worked in the Mobile phone industry up until 2009 and the touch screen Apple devices were just amazing and really took the industry by storm.
    The reason Apple are now falling from the top spot is because everyone is copying them. Kindle Fire, Nexus 7 all use that basic Apple touch screen idea.
    Combined with the clever adverts and simplistic silhouette dancers that minimalist yet space age, almost clinical design was a world beater.

    I haven’t forgotten this kind offer.

    At the moment I’m a bit short on downtime. But I shall get back to you.

    Don’t get bogged down in the `not sure what to do` camp.
    Just log on, play and work it out.
    Sure you’ll die a lot in the first 20 or so games but it makes that first kill all the more sweet!
    Getting killed only gets tedious above level 8 IMHO.

    No, not any more. But, and it’s an important but. It should be.
    If I look back through my DVD collection I am amazed at how many world beating, top quality productions, drama’s, films, comedies were produced by the BBC.
    The problem is my list of titles ends about the mid noughties.

    A few titles from memory;

    The Two Ronnies
    Blackadder
    Red Dwarf
    Morcambe and Wise
    Threads
    Bottom
    Danger UXB
    Life On Mars
    Little Britain
    Mighty Boosh

    So I will continue to pay the licence fee.

    Is the pic of Sally B with wheels down pulling out of the valley at Biggin Hill real?
    Glad they don’t fly her like that any more!
