Re: The UK is on Google Street View!

Odd that they haven't covered much of the UK, when it launched here just about every major city had the majority of streets. The turn-by-turn directions are particularly good. The only annoying bit now is that we don't have any of the tram/train/bus information that they have in other cities and cou...

Re: Own-brand Cola

There's a kiwi one called Phoenix which you can get at more upmarket supermarkets here which is delicious, it tastes just like those cola-bottle lollies if you have those in the UK.

Try as I might, I can't picture you as a bumbling inventor.. The title in front of the letter makes things seem a bit more enigmatic.

I had much the same feeling learning you weren't a Bond-esque villain.

Re: Gmail Drive

$99 for a 500GB drive in one of our electronics stores I noted today.

I think that translates to around £40.

I also think they have a very odd combination of products. Beds, sofas, dining tables and PCs.
In Australia they sell that as well as plasma televisions and outdoor settings. It's bizarre.

Re: A Magical Christmas, Ljubljana-style

The thing that I find most confusing is why they can't just attempt to shut down these subversive webites, rather than blocking them. The very existence of a list like that seems dangerous to me. What's even more galling is that the senator involved is indeed following the intense criticism and deba...
