Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I was looking at Invent Meridian's last post, and realised that not only has he been a member for over three years, but that I've been a member for nearly five-and-a-half years, and somehow I've made over 700 posts.

This is all very scary.

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

Hair and tooth brush/paste commercials are the worst. Can't believe any of them. Simple guide to toothpaste and toothbrushes - the higher the fluoride content the better, if you have sensitive teeth alternate between the normal stuff and the sensitive stuff. Oral-B's toothpaste has some stannous fl...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

The Logo's colours will take on the chosen colour in the OS - Similar to the accent colour on Windows Phone. These are the colours we know about from the leaks so far of Windows 8. http://up.metropol247.co.uk/martindtanderson/win8-logo-colours.png If Windows 7 is anything to go by, it should be pos...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/erikkain/files/2012/02/6201.Win8Logo_01_thumb_23669D8A.jpg I think versatility is the key with the logo. Because of the simplicity, it can be used in myriad different ways. Of course, if they just slap it on everything, it will be shite. I think the logo would be bett...

And thank god, because after the unpleasantness with Spencer Kelly, I can never go back to Click's offices.
I suppose you two just didn't click.

Re: Lovely Lightbulbs

What is the low energy equivalent of an old fashioned 150w lighbulb? I have two places where I want to use one and every time I order them from Wilts Wholesale Electric they give me a different wattage, ranging between 17w and 23w. For that matter, does anyone have any recomendations for a 150w low...

Re: Lovely Lightbulbs

All the GE branded bulbs and B&Q own brand are now fully Lumen labelled. Tesco appear to be about 70% over on their own brand, others are lagging. I bought a 1700 lumens fluorescent bulb from Morrisons a couple of days ago, and I noticed an older version of the bulb claiming 150w equivalence, a...

Re: Are Sony fooked?

Actually, for a few years before consumer smartphones, Sony Ericsson phones were brilliant. They were unusual for having semi-decent cameras (for the time) with proper flashes and decent build quality. They were a bit of a victim of the Android fragmentation explosion, where the likes of HTC could ...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Surely though its more glorified advertising for the website rather than meant for non-stop usage? Remember when you're a big company with close access to manufacturers you can can things like this for naff all. I suppose its a bit like the photo kiosks - they rarely get used, but they aren't a dra...

Re: Are Sony fooked?

I think their losses have more to do with their business model being firmly based around "old media" products.They spent an unbelievable sum of money buying victory in the HD format war and I don't know if they'll ever get a return on that seeing as web-enabled TVs/games consoles, HD stre...

Re: Yet another Morrisons thread

Our Morrisons has recieved a little computerised 'Kiddicare' kiosk on the baby aisle - with a touchscreen and chip and pin machine, very similar to the newer self service payment machines Argos use. A daft idea, really, as not many people will stop and faff with a machine and inputting their addres...
