Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

The harsh reality of the situation is that if the business makes sense a buyer will come forward - if it doesn't they wont - 10,000 facebook likes or otherwise. Absolutely, although I'd be very surprised if Peacocks didnt continue in some shape or form. Its not like Woolworths where they failed to ...

Sort of on topic but: Kodak has filed for bankruptcy in a bid to survive a liquidity crisis after years of falling sales related to the decline of its namesake film business as digital cameras have taken over the market. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/jan/19/kodak-files-for-bankruptcy and P...

Do TFL have a rule on no matrix displays on buses????

Re: Is facebook on the wane?

The problem I have with Facebook is its insistence it knows what you want to read better than you do. If I want to ignore someone, I'll ignore them and unsubscribe from their posts. All this "top news" and managing to miss things out from the news feed is simply irritating and is behaving...

I'm not really sure why MS (and their friends) seem to be surprised that WP7 is gaining little share when they completely refuse to actually market it on its own merits.

Re: iOS5

Also I see Facebook have attempted to shore up their crap instant messaging system by releasing a separate app for android. Is this on the other platforms too? Windows Phone 7.5 has a integrated facebook, SMS and MSN chat. If the person is online it will send a MSN or Facebook message instead of a ...

Re: Windows Phone 7

Chuffed to see that it seems they've reined in the OEMs/carriers and are achieving a smooth rollout - but to satisfy my curious dorkbone, any major (or even minor) changes since the dev build? It will take time for the developers to come out with the cool stuff the iPhone enjoys now they have acces...

Re: Dale Farm

As far as I know they have been offered alternative sites and council accommodation. I cant understand why all the protesters are up in arms, this fake concern is strange as I bet they are all middle class and their tune would chance if they turned up at the end of their street or village. We had an...
