lol, I wasn't actually expecting a reply, so 10/10

Just keep your little bro off the forum

I think you are spot on. Microsoft went the same way, with software products, release after release, so that you end up with so many different versions, (thinking MS Office 97,2000,2003,2007,2010....)

Mind you, you see it in all sectors, take cars such as BMW. Once exclusive, now run of the mill with so many models, and I think they have watered down their brand.

I was always a bit of a technofobe when it came to mobiles, and took a while to appreciate the benefits of the iPhone.

But now it has become a critical business device, to the point I can just about do most business functions from my phone! I can see email, a mobile app for the forum, can access admin panels for our sites, and now we have moved all of our office servers into the cloud, I can access internal files on my phone!

If I could hear myself now a couple of years ago! Definitely a 100% smart phone convert and worship the church of Apple. ...till something better comes along

Microsoft is set to upset the hardware vendor world by building it's own tablet to compete with the iPad, Microsoft Surface.

"The devices have 10.6 inch (26.9cm) displays, built-in kickstands and are housed in magnesium cases - which the company described as the first of their kind...The versions using Intel's x86 technology run Windows 8 Pro and are 13.5mm (0.5 inches) thick.

The specifications mean the Surface tablets have bigger screens than the iPad but are heavier."

hmm, shall see how this is received, they've got a long way to go catch up with Apple, and my iPad doesn't crash very often

lol, at last electromagnetic hover cars! About time we started making progress from the expensive smelly internal combustion effort

Blimey, so it is a potential issue! You'd think the higher end motors would be protected against this as they are naturally going to be the target, then it normally filters down to the average saloon.

Used to be the mighty tennis ball myth that was the scourge of central locking and car security, now it could be the iphone

Guess this is something we will hear more of in the coming months and years!

whats that? kids and married

I'll be honest, this took me by surprise. My Norton AV updated itself, and then decided to give me some antivirus news, which was this link:
Can Your Car Be Hacked?

Something I've never worried about, and my daily drive, a Nissan Patrol Battle bus is a bit light on features and technology, so I'm alight, but is this really a genuine issue?

Has anyone considered car security relating to computer devices? Are there iphone apps that can open your car doors and disable your engine?

If you're not aware of Google trends, it's a good way of seeing what people are searching for, and adjusting content/title pages etc accordingly.

But there is also another tool called "Hot Searches" which has just been revamped and gives you a real time idea of what people are searching for.

Interesting one, didn't even know Tesco was in Japan, but apparently after trying for nearly 10 years, they can't make any money, so are pulling out.

Very bizarre deal though, to pull out, they first need to invest
