I cannot seem to escape this advert at the moment. Except the badly dubbed British version. Which just makes it even worse.

I am sure that is based on one of the cheap dating webscripts out there - looks like a rubbish website.

How do most businesses keep long term backups viable - I would have thought any magnetic media would degrade and things like CD's and DVDS are rubbish.

I have just seen this (I should really be working). I didn't want to drag up the Doomsday Project thread. http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/m-disc-holds-your-data-forever-we-go-hands-on-for-a-few-minut/ this sounds like a good idea however, what about the availability of the players? in 100 years w...

On a slightly related note I am using the beta of Mango for Windows phone 7. It is a lot faster on my HTC Mozart (see the connection). Apps are being updated to take advantage of live tiles and the battery life is a lot better than previously. the calender is still a steaming pile of poo! (they real...

Apart from Android being nowhere near as smooth an experience as iOS, I'd recommend looking in depth at how the apps you want to use compare on Android.

I think there's a real opportunity here for Google+ to become dominant in the market.

I will have an invitation if there is one going nidave @ anothersoup .com

Facebook is now so integrated with so many things its going to be nearly imposable for anyone else to reach a critical mass and steal the crown. How many adverts do you see that no longer have their own URL's ...

Inspired by a mention in the rebrand thread, have any of you ever considered purchasing a franchise operation? I've had my interest piqued by Subway.

That depends on how good a night I have had

Chie, you're watching the second advert. That is dire.. why are they doing hipety hopety music.. I don't get it. (and I am a bloke) I am able to express my feelings - its a steaming pile of sh*t. Its so bad, my I wanted to rip my eyeballs from their sockets and throw them under a bus. If you could ...
