Re: New Facebook

I can't quite fathom the idea behind it - why does it want to guess what I might like? If I like something I'll choose myself thankyou Facebook. I don't like that it's combined the chat and mail into one big useless lump as well recently (even though that happened a while back). It was fine as it ...

Re: Dale Farm

I'm not 100% clued up on the ins and outs of this story, so I won't judge too strongly - but I'm in full agreement with Dr Lobster - it seems there are two sides to a complicated story, and I'm not 100% sure of what the council are getting out of removing these people, or whether it even begins to ...

Re: McDonalds 1955 Burger;

I find a lot of McDonalds food a bit rubbish (excluding the quarter pounder and their fries) - but KFC is very nice. It might be bad for me but the chicken and the seasoning is delicious so I have it as the occasional treat.

Re: Windows 8

I've managed to heave it onto a virtual machine (I don't fancy attempting to remove the bizarre new bootloader when I'm done and getting the Windows 7 one reinstated) - sadly the VirtualBox video driver won't work with it so it works but not in widescreen and it's a bit juddery.

My opinion is that ...

Re: Windows 8

I'm sorry but ME and 2000 were very different products and fundamentally came from different code bases. ME was a Windows 9x code base while Windows 2000 was under pinned by NT.

Hmm, but surely from a non-techy end-user point of view, that's a kind of meaningless detail?

My experience of ME is ...

Re: Windows 8

The good thing is that the system requirements are supposed to be the same, or lower than Windows 7 and that they are using a new hybrid of shut down/hibernate for turning on/off so that process should be much quicker. Good to know Microsoft are making Windows less of a resources hog as they did ...

Re: Windows 8

I'm really not sure if I'm keen on the Metro interface - or the bizarre switch between the Windows standard desktop and it. I wonder how regular problems like Office, Chrome, Firefox, Photoshop, et cetera will be designed into the Metro design?

I'm interested to see and keen to get my hands on the ...

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

I cannot tolerate that "New Haribo Supermix" advert with the singing family. Except for the dad, who is a legend. And another thing: Why do they add a second jingle to the end of it?

God almighty, its just awful isn't it. It doesn't scan properly, and its just weird.

And then the Haribo jingle ...

Then may I ask why you have the attitude of a 13-year-old who's had their Xbox taken away?

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

Yes, I initially thought it may be JK08 but looking back on his posts, he's posted a couple of decent bits of info that I highly doubt JK08 would ever churn out.

Of course he (she?) was looking for some sort of glory of setting up a popular thread with their name on it - why they feel that way is ...
