RIM (Blackberry) are dead in the water, wall street is starting to round on them. If apple were to produce a cheaper version of the iPhone then you could watch RIMs stock drop through the floor.

Edit: ahh, I see. Video wasn't playing for me and I think I've just seen the advert on tv.

That doesn't give samsung the right to ride on apples coat tails by making the look and feel of their device almost identical to the iPhone. Companies like samsung are huge and fragmented, this litigation targets a particular operating department of samsung and besides, chip fabs are two a...

Re: WWDC 2011 Lock screen notifications still don't exactly work how they should, the calendar really should show upcoming appointments, not just ones that have had their alarm "gone off". Mail doesn't seem to update properly either, you get a bing and a notification, but when you get to the...

Re: WWDC 2011 Hurrah, background syncing!

Re: WWDC 2011 £20.99 for Lion.

Re: WWDC 2011 iCloud free, no wonder the massive data centre.

Yeah, was a right b**ch to get the HDL correct for that, took quite a few attempts when little problems kept appearing after you thought it was all working.

Here's our motherboard for the medical instruments, has all manner of interfaces (usb device, usb host, rs232, can, ethernet) in addition to all the internal gubbins. We've got various licenses for keil and IAR compilers for various processors that we've used in the past. We use...

Urgh...Microchip.... ;) We don't use anything that doesn't have an ARM core in it, the development tools are so much better. We used a PIC on a usb device for a customer a few years back and every single C compiler I tried I managed to get to generate incorrect code, I ended up having to put...

Cool. Loving the 20 million relays. We designed a piece of test kit for tetra radios, that was full of relays too including some very expensive RF ones. In the last year we've designed two medical instruments for another company (same motherboard, interchangeable "personality" board) and been...

What do you make?

Most browsers will have a plugin which allows you to save images that have been "protected", you just need to find the appropriate plugin for the browser you use. In safari you can also enable dev mode and visually traverse the document tree (as it is rendered) to save images that don't want to...

Not quite, it's amps & volts that the cable is interested in, not watts. Watts just tell you power consumption. (It was just that telling us the wattage of the hoover would allow us to figure out amps) The 13A & 250V just tell you that those are the maximum current OR maximum voltage that...

What you actually need to know is the number of watts that it uses, then you can work out how much current actually passes through it. Or the actual current consumption used by it (which will tell you watts). What you've seen on the plug is almost certainly just saying that it's a standard 13...

You must like soldering....a lot!

Rubbish. Somebody taking a journalistic punt. I read this the other day and laughed hard.

Yep, but to be clear it's only included FOC if purchasing online, should you purchase in person at an apple store then you'll need to add the 48 quid applecare.

You need to do a custom install, I can't remember off the top of my head where this option appears, it's somewhat hidden iirc. When you get to the OS X installer, keep checking the wizard to see if there is a custom install button, if not check the menu bar. Edit: Or follow the post above...

Unless you want to use it to share a printer or play music from like the op mentioned! Fwiw, we have two airport expresses and they seem to dislike the virgin superhub, they just disappear off the network. There have been a couple of firmware updates in the last few weeks for the superhub...

The airport express only streams through iTunes, it won't stream directly from a network drive. Apple have changed the way sharing works with iTunes recently, it went from being s**t to being completely s**t. Although the private key that the airport express uses has been exposed, so it's...

They've gone around with a camera system which takes 360 degree photos and also for every photo it's longitude, latitude, altitude and bearing to stupid accuracy, they use some pretty impressive algorithms to rebuild the 3d models from the images. It's clever stuff.

If you thought google earth was impressive..... http://maps.ovi.com/3d/

Always install windows using bootcamp, that way you have the ability to boot it natively for "raw speed" or boot the installation via parallels or vmware for convenience.

Actually, that accolade goes to Time Capsule, by a country mile. Of course, there's more than one, which in itself sums up androids fragmentation woes.

Replace better with different. This is the only Android phone I'd even think about considering (theoretically speaking). Google have managed to get Android (hw + sw fragmentation) in a massive hole and are trying their hardest to get out of it, but it's always going to be a massive bag of hurt...

What are you trying to achieve? The iPhone only supports hands free, phone book and a2dp profiles as standard.

Go buy a 3 MiFi dongle. Replacement 3GB/3 Month sims can be had for about 6 quid. bargain.

For sure, you even have to bear in mind how impressive their secrecy tends to be considering that prototype parts will be coming in from vendors a long time before anything ever surfaces. Even when part leaks occur, it tends to be when they're in full production. Even the teams inside the...

Yes, we've got a couple if the older generation ones. You just choose in iTunes where you want to play to.
