No wonder the country's in a black hole of debt when we're forking out six-freaking grand a year PER MACHINE just to maintain them. You could buy a monster gaming PC for every computer user in the government for that little lot, and still have change enough for Photoshop. Most of them are still running XP too. It's ridiculous.

Slapped on the front page of Wednesday's New York Times Business page was a picture of Steve Jobs, resurrected. It's clearly taken at a new product launch where a black-shirted, blue-jeaned CEO stands confident and alone on stage. But there's something off. The product description is in Mandarin. The CEO is wearing Converse, not New Balance. Oh, and Steve Jobs is dead. Read More >>

"Yeah, but wasn't that because their new CEO told them too. Obviously they wouldn't be going after the product with this guy, since it's just shinned A..." More »
Are you an O2 customer? Do you regularly access BT's millions of Wi-Fi hotspots? No? Good, because you're about to lose your free access to them. The network's four-year deal with BT is up and it hasn't renewed. Instead, it's going it alone with its own O2 Wi-Fi network. Read More >>

It seems the Xbox One sparked a twinkle in BT's eye when Microsoft got up and started talking up all of its TV features. According to a BT spokesperson talking to TechRadar, the ISP wants to launch its free BT Sport onto the incoming console, which could mean all those fancy TV streaming features might actually make it to the UK in one guise or another.

The HTC First, the disastrous Zucker-HTC mashup that's crashed and burned in the States, has had its UK launch delayed indefinitely. They're not even going to fulfil the three pre-orders that were placed. It was scheduled to come to the UK 'exclusively' with EE in the next few months, but now I guess Facebook addicts will have to click two extra buttons or install Facebook Home to get their stalking fill. The horror. Read More >>
We already knew that Google Now violates Siri insofar as it's much better. But according to a new lawsuit filed by Apple a.ka. the Patentmaster in Chief, Google Now violates Apple's intellectual property by being a bit too much like Siri. Read More >>

The Sun, that bastion of quality news journalism and tits on page 3, is planning to erect a paywall for its online offerings, in something it's calling Sun+. Basically, you pay two quid a month for access to the paper and "near-live" TV clips of Premier League footie. Tempting perhaps? Read More >>

Bad news for those who'd like to see NFC phone payments like Google Wallet actually take off in the UK. The Tesco retail juggernaut has basically said it's a load of crap, and that it's already out of date. It's just not "cool" enough, apparently. Read More >>

The Sony we used to know and love is slowly returning. With products like the Xperia Z, awesome headphones, some seriously good TVs, and cutting out the crap, Sony's managed to drag its loss-making arse back into the black. It made its first annual profit of £280 million in five long years, but it's not all good news. Read More >>

Google's suffering a bit of an 'out of the frying pan into the politician's lap' moment. Having recently been accused of being tax cheats, Google's now apparently a liar as well. Awkward. Apparently, one of the cornerstones in Google's tax argument was that it doesn't have any salespeople in the UK, something job advertisements seem to disagree with. [Reuters] Read More >>
