They have sold their handset business but they kept a hold of the patents. They're free to sue now without fear of their own products being targeted. Quite a clever move on MS' part.

I wouldn't mind a games machine/media centre PC that was no bigger than an xbox 360 with a big HDD in it.

$1, 500, 000, 000 seems like a lot. Has Match.com even got those kind of reserves/insurance? If she does win and gets those kind of damages, most likely outcome seems to be Match.com will fold with very little being paid out.

Any idea why he is solitary?

No usb media playback is just stupid. Having a usb stick with a few movies for the kids in them is a big thing for me (wi-fi interference makes wireless streaming unreliable).

Capita confirmed that Pinder will "receive no payments for salary after his retirement"

Strange, I thought a salary was what you got for turning up and doing some work. With his track record though, maybe they'd pay him not to turn up. Good luck to his new firm. They're going to need it.

I loathe Google's sprunging of our lives and serving us up as data sushi for advertisers but if they can do for renewable energy what they did for driverless cars, that would be something they could be proud of.

Very entertaining and interesting.

Colour me interested. Conract expires in six months, should be able to see what these handsets can do by then.

If we take the article at face value the boys were harassing the girls to take photos and trading them. They do need to be punished for what they have done but these laws don't seem like the appropriate way to do it, particularly given the stigma they carry. Harassment or even assault charges might be a suitable substitute in the mean time.

Most laws of this nature can't cope with people who are underage being sexually active with each other (not quite the same but I know of one place that the age of consent for boys was 16 but 17 for girls. If a boy on his 16th birthday kissed a girl who was older than him but by less than a year, he risked prosecution as a paedophile but I never heard of that happening) . They need to be rewritten to take account of this and could take a swipe at revenge sites while they're at it.

Sounds like their trying to bail out a sinking ship with a sieve. They'd be better off building a better boat.

No insurance against theft? Getting crime recorded is the first step into pressuring the police into doing something about it.

Sounds like the writer was hinting that people should really pick up last year's model at presumably something of a discount.

So the EU is protecting the British people from their own PM. What a topsy-turvy world we live in.

A positive BB story!?! First one I cannot remember here for a while. Looking forward to those reviews.

Until someone makes a tablet with the same easy to read screen and week long battery life, going to have my ereader and tablet when I go on holiday. And as for the tablet, don't see anything in these to make me want to get rid of my playbook and buy one of them. The Pro is interesting but never at that price.

In a few months MS is going to have two RT products. What are the odds they are going to keep both going and what are the odds that is the Surface that will win out? Unless Elop cares enough about this to fight its corner, can't see it surviving long.

It's the inability to run things like sigil that would prevent me from buying RT which is a pity as it's in this end of the market we are seeing the most innovation.
