Re: Another High Street Rebrand
It's more complicated than that. For an indefinite period TSB (under the Co-operative's ownership) will continue to run the Lloyds TSB system. Lloyds Banking Group have 2 infrastructures, their own and HBOS'. By the sounds of things, Halifax and BOS are going to be moved to the Lloyds TSB system al...

Re: Phones, again
My contract is up also, I'm waiting a few months because iPhone 5 will be around then. Unless you current handset is broken I'd hold off for a bit. This. Even if you go for the 4S you'll get a better deal come September/October. I have considered this, I also agree with On The Rocks that first gen ...

Re: The Olympics
talk about a load of old shite. a random old women in a white tracksuit with a flame held aloft? no thanks. Actually she has been chosen by someone they know, voted to be a torchbearer by the local community, because they have made an influence on people's lives. More than just a "random old w...

Re: WWDC 2012
I'm still a bit undecided. While the display in the new iPad was the tipping point for me to find it compelling, that's partly because as a closed ecosystem (apart from those pesky interwebs) you could rely on apps being updated to render natively. I'd have thought this display would introduce all s...

Re: The end of the line for fixed line broadband?
Definitely not. I don't really like that broadband is marketed on bandwidth, when really, after a certain point, increases in bandwidth offer such diminishing returns. Once you're past a few Mbps, latency is *everything*, except for HD video streaming and large file downloads (assuming of course the...

Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread
Assuming for a moment the price point is kept the same (although - is it?) - trying to make budgo products falsely upmarket seems a bit odd to me. I thought the point of the 'value' race to the bottom was that there were would always be x% of people who will go for the cheapest rattiest gristly cat...

Re: Odd internet people
You've drawn a line between two totally unrelated phenomena here, it's hard to reconcile. We're all a bit mental here, but we know that. The fact that many of us have a spidey-sense that tingles if the kerning on a BBC News strap is a little off is weird - but apparently it's just who we are. If tha...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake
Game ... Can anyone comment on a suggestion, I heard, that the adminsitrators chose to close where HMV have a reasonable presence locally, so concentrating the estate where competition is thin? I think the situation is more as cwathen indicated - reducing a lot of the internal competition, strippin...
