Surely any name with a '5' in it makes no sense? A '6' makes it sound like last year's phone, which would be churlish even if it turns out to be an "economy" phone but a '5' puts it another year older. We also know how "economy" Apple's last rumoure…

I actually found the movie gripping and enjoyable. It's a character piece that tries to put over some personalities and events in a structure that is clearly not literally true (all this stuff happening in the few hours before three product launches…

As I look at my now use-extended 5s, I know which dimension I would like to shrink on next year's iPhone, but that's off-topic! I have mixed feelings about a Lightning connection for headphones. I'm not sure that you can buy such things yet, though…

Perhaps the web is about to change? This seems like an act of desperation by a content provider that's locked itself into earning money only through adverts so it needs somehow to force people to see them (whether they read what they see is anothe…

Speaking personally, I would swap the minor loss of privacy in having the UK agencies access my E-Mail information sufficiently to eliminate me from their enquiries for the avoidance of an attack like that in Paris. 129 people dead is not something …

Turn off security then download dodgy software from dodgy web sites. It's a bit like walking a high wire across the Niagara Falls: fine for experts but, if you don't know exactly what you're doing, it will surely end in tears. Are there really almos…

Good to see a responsible approach from Appthority: talked privately with Apple, waited for the fix to be available before going public. Then they quite rightly got the kudos for finding the problem. Nice to see that there are some grown-ups left f…

Edit - in reply to Gatorguy saying: "There was another source even before him that said the same thing. It was more for business locations than the all-encompassing street-view." I think Apple would do some expectation management if this were the …
