Samsung.</
Although, I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing.
Just don't go over the cliff.

4G timetable agreed by
UK mobile network operators
By allowing EE to roll out LTE first
Ofcom freed up the logjam of potential legal action and inertia that had been
holding this back in the UK.
Heh my next phone will be LTE (18 month to
go).

Similar to the CNet story posted in the News Picks, but
this
PCMag version
goes into more depth...
"The deluge of post-litigation press
coverage
both drove general attention to Samsung and suggested that
Samsung
devices were similar enough to iPhones to be an
option for many consumers,"

Some of you may be wondering about the theft of $30,000,000 of syrup from
Canada's Strategic Syrup Reserve in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec last
August.
Quebec provincial police have seized hundreds of
barrels of maple syrup from a New Brunswick business, telling the company that
it was linked to an investigation into last month’s headline-making theft of
large amounts of Quebec’s strategic reserve of syrup.
[...]
Quebec
produces about 75 per cent of the world’s maple syrup. Its federation’s
strategic reserve of unsold syrup was set up to cushion the impact of uneven
harvests caused by poor weather.

A husband’s inability to perform was one of the few reasons that the
Church would allow a marriage to be annulled, so disgruntled women who could
afford the legal costs would regularly charge their husbands with “injurious
non-consummation” before ecclesiastical courts. The legal tradition dated to the
1300s, when theologians agreed that the true aim of matrimony was procreation.
[...]
The onus was placed on the husband to demonstrate his powers of
erection before an expert team of priests, surgeons, and midwives. These learned
observers would carefully examine his equipment to reach an opinion on its
“elastic tension” and “natural motion,” before demanding “proof of
ejaculation.”
Many men found that their powers would fade on first
examination. “Just looking at you makes me shrivel,” one humiliated husband
moaned to his tormentors.
Any man who failed this test had only one recourse
to avoid becoming a laughing-stock. He could demand Trial by
Congress.

This comment is offered in spirit of light heartedness. I hope it is taken in
that spirit as it is not intended to offend. Still, since this does reference a
comment that is actually *in* this article, I suppose I run the risk of being
down-modded for posting on-topic in the off-topic thread .... :-O
With that somewhat lengthy preface, I just couldn't help but notice that PJ said
her bogometer was ringing off the wall. I hadn't thought about it before but I
guess that means that bogometers come in different models. Mine can't ring. It
only has a needle and the most noise it can make is a slight click when the
needle smacks the end-of-travel peg hard enough. Perhaps if I had not been such
a cheapskate I could have purchased a model that could give audible alarms --
ringing, a fog horn, etc. -- when the reading was too far into the red.
Cheers! :-)

Newsreports state that punters are tearing the new Kindle Paperwhite off the
shelves and they have already sold out.
Reviewers are lining up to praise the device and there is an almost Apple-like
sense of desire to own one (according to the reports, that is).

An article over at Techdirt talks about
Google finally changing the ContentID
appeals process.
I
haven't read the article yet, but it seems like some
progress
is needed, given the many spurious takedowns on YouTube of
late. --- Userfriendly on WGA server outage:

I'd buy the cheapest piece of software I could find that requires a certain
level of Windows to run, then just grab that version of Windows (or Mac OS) to
run the application.
Since it's a required technology to make the application function, the license
is automatic right? We just haven't agreed on pricing, but can do that on
followup right?
I'm willing to pay < $0.01 for the software, so I'm good for up to 100
systems for a buck.
Sounds like Apple and Microsoft better watch out when their customers decide to
act like them using their tactics.
