    It's crap like this that's got people spending bundles of money for android devices. A Microsoft OS will not gain any traction. They're lucky that netbooks are still as dirt cheap as they are.. otherwise they'd lose out on the entire market for portable devices. Once the deals for $150-$300...

    Billiant find! Flash couldn't get cheaper than that.. most teens would have maybe made a backup of the data & formatted it for personal use. Even the smallest mass market usb sticks are about 15 quid, no?

    EA Suing Over South Park Tiger Woods Episode

    I think if anything they could sue over trademark use of the name and content. Sure, defamation of EA is a stretch and parody/satire are protected speech. At one time the creators of Southpark tried to get approval from celebs for including them in skits the way other cartoons do such as the...
