Oops, ignore my above comment, it was me who was reading the comment wrong!

iPhone 3G will require a new two-year contract on AT&T

I got my iPhone in the middle of a 2-year contract, and have had it about 6 months. When I get the iPhone 3G, I'll only be 'extending' the contract 7 months.


I think you'll find your contract gets replaced by a new 2 year one from the date you upgrade if i'm reading it right.

VLC Media Player now ported to iPhone

still makes me giggle every time i see an article about an iphone app that needs to be jailbroken for it to run...

MS did the exact same thing a decade ago with windows mobile and was forced to admit it was a stupid idea and gave up on application locking.

Why is Apple near universally hailed as being innovative despite using the same failed idea that their direct competitor gave up on as a silly idea a decade previous?

About the 86% thing, i bet it comes from how many people say they are christian on census/whatever forms, which is a VERY different thing to whether they believe in god or not.

In the UK 2001 census, 71.75% claim to be christian. yet out of my wide family and everyone i know/work with i'd say that figure looks about right, but actual belief in god down as 15% or less...

A lot of people will say they're christian out of sheer force of habit or just to not cause a fuss...

Einstein: Religion is "childish," "primitive"

Pretty much my views too, shame it can't be done because of free speech issues though.

what i'd like to happen though (also same free speech issues probably), is to ban teaching religion to children.
I think it's disgusting that children get brainwashed into religions when too young to properly makes their minds up about things.

Building block iPod speakers swear they're not Legos

*cringe* at reading this.

Like joel said, Legos is not a word and has never been a word.

It's as valid as a field full of sheeps, a yard full of gooses or a school full of childs.

Virgin Media CEO: Net neutrality is "bollocks," promises to breach agreement with customers

April 14, 2008 7:44am

Like a lot others, i was someone quite happily using Telewest/Blueyonder for ages untill Virgin took over.

It's simply quite amazing how quickly downhill the service has gone since Virgin took over.
-I've been forced to upgrade from the mid-speed package to the max speed one, so when the daily throttling system (which Virgin introduced) kicks in, it still goes just about fast enough to be usable.
-I was prevented from playing WoW for an entire month due to virgin's network giving a 30% packetloss to that destination. took multiple (paid for) calls to get it fixed.
-Then there's the Phorm fiasco
-And now this comment about net neutrality...

Virgin, why are you actively trying to make your customers hate you? a Year ago Virgin was the sign of a good brand i'd be happy to buy stuff from, now the name is getting driven into the gutter.

If it wasn't for the fact the phoneline in our house was of horrific quality, i'd be quitting in an instant to go to ADSL.
Ah well, should be moving out in a few months hopefully, i can guarantee i won't be getting Virgin media there.
