iPhone to be sold by Tesco in the UK, hemorrhages cachet {Engadget}
Nov 25th 2009 7:18AM Hey, if it helps competition wise Im all for it! Maybe now I can go to O2 direct and re-negotiate my new contract based on Tesco prices ... other than snob value (i.e. tesco selling iPhones) there are only positives to be had by the end user!
Don't forget snobs, Apple changed its market approach many years ago when it retail'fied its product line (to the detriment of innovation, quality and specific customer sector) - today Apple really is a competitor to everyone else, not the exclusive brand it once was.
Wonder if the Apple stores will now start selling cereals, bread, fruit and veg (starting with apples and pears of course!)

Nov 17th 2009 11:36AM Jesus, how fu****g embarrassing!!!! Its laughable that MS are trying so desperately to be cooler than Apple that they just end up being cringe worthy!
When I go to an Apple store I want good advice and good service - not f******g dancing morons ... its a shop, not college fraternity bar and if worked there I wouldn't lower myself. Bet it frightens off a lot of people - straight into an Apple store ... what next, dancing petrol attendants and security guards!
Dell's Inspiron Zino HD now official in Ireland and UK {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 11:06AM How much!!!!
Sorry, but once again, when you look at the Mac offering, considering the quality, sexiness, re-sale value and included software (iLife suite) etc, the Dells a bit of a looser! They even charge more for a different colour lid ... laughable! In fact, with extra cost for all components, anyone who chooses this over an iMac is crazy - thats a whole computer in the screen, better specced, better priced ... sorry Dell ... FAIL!!!!
TomTom Start wants to democratize GPS navigation: smartphones point, laugh {Engadget}
Oct 6th 2009 6:33AM Amazing ... Tom Tom try to make an ailing package look more attractive (by the addition of crappy covers granted!) but then charge you more for the pleasure ... nice one guys!
By the way; I have a Volkswagen Golf with free upgrade to Ferrari F355 for sale at £180,000 if anyones interested?

Sep 24th 2009 5:01AM For all those who have already purchased the non dock included software, wouldn't it be great if you could eBay it! Come to think of it (and heres opening up a new can of worms) ... wouldn't it be great if you could sell your apps as people do software on eBay!!!!
Apple tablet rumors strike back: 9.6-inch with HSDPA and P.A. Semi processor coming February 2010? {Engadget}
Sep 15th 2009 4:46AM To be honest, I couldn't really care anymore!
We've seen Apple bulls**t about not putting camera's in the iPod touch because it wouldn't be 'cost effective' (yeah, and thats why you prepped it for one then isn't it!), and say their not interested in the netbook market; and not care about taking Apple TV forward (so much for Apple innovation!!!!) ... so lets just leave them to get on with whatever they want - Im sure they will regardless of what we say and think!
I don't know; something happened at Apple ... they got lazy, relied to much upon existing success to the detriment of innovative new products!

Jul 3rd 2009 7:09AM SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, HAVE THEY LEARNED NOTHING FROM TERMINATOR ... WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
On a more pratcial note; any villian (of which these critters are aimed at spying on) will of course ensure that an exclusion zone of one square mile is in place around any secret hideout or instalation ... i.e. gas all animals and scorch all land to ensure no one's spying on them. Maybe flying stones will be next, or puffy white clouds!
:o)
Ozaki iCommand Controller bridges the iPod shuffle / headphone divide {Engadget}
Jun 5th 2009 5:16AM If this was a microsoft product everyone would be dissing it .. but because its an Apple its called inovation! Im a big time Apple user, but Im not into that Fanboy frame of mind that has to believe everything the company produces is first class. In the case, this MP3 sucks and isnt it clear to Apple that if other people have to develop features that are standard on any MP3 player, and people buy it, its obvious theres a need ... so why not include it in the first place!!!
God help us if Apple start building TV's ... we'll need someone else to develope a remote so we can use the thing!!!
