In Microsoft's never ending quest to push the twin dead ducks of Bing and Edge, they are now rolling out an update which puts a floating Bing-powered Edge search bar on the desktop.
To think the shit they got in the 90's just for bundling a web browser and a media player.

Re: Emergency alerts
'More testing required' methinks. Please no. I have no wish to go through all this again. I don't think they have a choice. Personally I'm dubious as to how useful this thing would be, but they've hyped the apparent importance of it up so much ('could be the sound that saves your life' etc). Then h...

Re: Emergency alerts
'More testing required' methinks. I thought since it was supposed to be a broadcast rather than sent to a specific phone, that every phone within range of the same mast would go off at once. I'm out at a busy pub, a handful of phones could be heard going off at 3PM, followed by a handful more over t...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread
How that ruling went Lidl's way I shall never know. It was a spurious claim in the first place, yet apparently had enough merit to win? I can see Tesco winning on appeal. Still, a bit of free advertising for both companies.

Re: The unofficial motorway services thread
and slightly baffled by the economics of them renting out space to their competitors. Apparently Moto rent space in quite a few of them too. Well I guess the upside to doing it is Moto then are responsible for employment, stock, ops costs, support, maintenance and logistics. With a small network of...

Re: The unofficial motorway services thread
I also assumed Extra had to be something to do with McDonald's, mainly because the only one I ever drive past is on the M5 at Cullompton where McDonald's is and always has been the main food offering ever since it opened and the similarity in logos seems pretty clear. Whilst I wouldn't want to use a...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread
Presumably that was a pre-2022 McColls 'trading as Morrisons Daily' one. There's a really ropey petrol station around the corner from here run by a separate franchisee. Yes, pre-2022. It was still McColl's when the Safeway products came out ('Safeway, supermarket quality brought to you from Morriso...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread
1 - is this the end of the Safeway brand... again 2 - the shop in question is a large, modern, decent ceilinged, well lit branch. But McColls have some right run down dumps, would Morrisons want their branding on such branches? I'm not quite sure what Morrisons really got out of reviving the Safewa...
