There is an important thing to remember about Star Wars films. They are for CHILDREN! When we saw them as children, we loved them. I'm sure if you show children the modern versions, they will love them. Is anyone that saw them for the first time 30ish years ago, really that bothered about them anymore? Are you really?

Office 365, Hotmail and SkyDrive hit by outage ? The Register I simply don't see the big fuss over the "cloud". Not only do you rely on your internet connection, but you also rely on the cloud being up. If you keep things in house you only have the servers to worry about.

Oh goodie. We can all rush out and buy yet another Star Wars and LOTR boxset.

Bit harsh? It's posted in the correct area and nobody is forcing you to buy it.

All adds to the fun if you ask me. Looking forward to my favourite GP. Hope Lorraine makes an appearance again.

Really? It'll hurt the reputation of our industry if people cheat to get certifications. Not that I am accusing you of doing that of course.

I await the ghost of Stanley Kubrick to sue Apple for blatantly copying the spacepad as seen in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and re-branding it as an ipad.

I bet they haven't sold out. I bet they simply finally twigged that due to the likes of Twitter and HotUKDeals, they were suffering from DoS attacks, purely through unexpected traffic. I have no sympathy for the retailers though. Some interesting reading for insomniacs and Psychologists. PALM PRE3 & HP TOUCHPAD 16GB/32GB £89/£115 FROM TODAY STOCK LEVELS - OFFICIAL THREAD ** Pls do not offer to trade items in this thread ** - Page #434 - HotUKDeals (No I've not read every page)

Well folk, we appear to have brought down almost every online electronic retailer. lol I bet they are losing hundreds of thousands today, when all they all to do was put a sign on their home page stating they had no stock and for folk not to bother trying. As it is, Joe Public that have no interest in a Touchpad, but are trying to order other items will not be able to get through either. Private sector efficiency?

There was a staples next door to PC World. Why on earth did I not think to try them. Doh!

Ebay may be flooded, but how many of us are only after one because of the ridiculously low price? I have no intent on scouring ebay for one and paying any more. I may have wasted an hour of flexi time this morning trying to get one, but before the price drop I had no interest in this tablet.

Well, I tried Currys, PC World and Comet this morning and saw the same faces in each one. Alas, there were none in stock. One of the clever chaps at PC World even came up with a clever idea of putting up a poster in the window saying they were out of stock, after I was the 5th person to ask in about 30 seconds. :-)

So, HP announce they are to mothball a platform due to poor sales, forcing retailers to drop price to something realistic, and then there is a stampede of folk wishing to buy it? I wish i was smart enough to see what has happened here...

Taking out a loan to pay off another loan? Is Gordon Brown behind all this?

Not if your sheepdip machine is Linux based.

Everything I've ever been told about ergonomics seems to give me some sort of strain. I'd love one of those chairs. I swear my work output would double. I hate most modern office seating, and don't get me started on the chairs they make us sit on at conferences etc.

I know inflation is running high, but I didn't realise that Budget car rentals had bumped their prices up so high that the poor, EMA less yoof could no longer afford to hire a car.

Showing the rich what exactly? That they are dumb enough to sh*t on their own doorsteps? I must say, reading both the Guardian and Daily Mail today, there are far too many Red Sheeple and far too many Blue Sheeple. Yet more division. Divide and Conquer.

Nah, welease Wodger!

You have two very safe nephews now

Wasn't aimed at you mate. I meant the constant footage on BBC and Sky news.

I don't think the rolling news feeds help either.

I never had youth clubs to go to. I never had EMA to go to college. I did have a mum and a dad that gave a damn though. These morons are simply criminals without a clue. Cameron has to go though.

Tsk, there's no pleasing some folk :-)

Not brilliant? What planet are you on, Mars? :-) It's a classic. So many quotable lines, so many cheesy scenes. It even spawned a dance track. Best of all it has an alien hooker with 3........... :-)
