Story here: BBC News - False widow spider outbreak shuts Forest of Dean school Cue jokes about the dark side of the web, not wanting to be a fly on the wall in that classroom, etc, etc, etc....

How much bird did he get?

Any good: Hannspree Hannspad Tablet PC | Ebuyer.com

Hudl - Introducing the new 7" tablet from Tesco - Tesco.com

Tesco's latest offering? or the one coming from Argos?

Anyone else come up against this pile of do-dos? We have an iPad that has moved around staff and it looks like they've each had their iCloud accounts activated on it. Anyway it now moans when you try to log in to iCloud and setting up or using a new account on the device is foobarred as well. We get the 'com.apple.appleaccount error 403' message. This solution is all we've found but why the hell should have to use another device to solve the problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23175230#23175230 Has anyone else found a smoother workaround?

Even Beatles albums pressed in the 80's go for decent money.

Just been talking to a colleague - he sold his entire VHS, CD & DVD collection - some 800 items - through Amazon Marketplace. Some of his VHS tapes went for decent money.

Carboot? Gumtree?

Touch wood, so far all the machines I've upgraded to 8.1 don't seem to be affected by any of the reported issues. In fact, I have to grudgingly admit that a five year old PC I put Windows 8 on in a moment of boredom is now flying and very happy with 8.1 and I'm now using it as a secondary workstation in my office.

Oh dear RT users are stuffed: BBC News - Windows 8.1 update glitch stops RT starting up

Does it have WiFi?

Hi, We do not have FCE V4 media although we have it installed and we have a legitimate serial number. Does anyone know where we can get hold of a copy? Not too happy about some of the download sites as it'll probably come packaged with a payload. Many thanks!

I'm concerned about the Wonga banner ads - wrong wrong wrong on so many levels - they're legitimised loan sharks. And Go daddy - hateful company; the owner goes out shooting elephants: These sort of ads are putting me off using this site. Seriously. I know you've got to monetise it but perhaps we can lose these companies?

I think we need to start a petition to get a proper MS Start Menu Button and Menu back. Perhaps that'll be Windows 8 v8.2?

Home laptop okay now except it reverted to a full retard American keyboard so thank God for the option to select a UK keyboard to get my password in. Talk about a long-winded process to upgrade from v8 to v8.1 - makes me wonder if what we've got is a major re-write of code here. Stand by for some fun methinks. At least with my little home IT business I might be getting some work out of this

That's what I'm looking at as well

My laptop at home is still installing!?

I've got a Windows 8 laptop at home downloading/updating now but not showing on work devices - probably the issue outlined above

Nowt in the Store for me yet

Can't get to it yet. Where is it?

No, I'm lying.

Eh?! What?!
