" Due Diligence is caveat for the empteor ... so did HP screw-up, or the auditors who they took on miss a trick? ... or did Autonomy lie? As Lord Gnome used to say ... I think we should be told! " In Codgertations: Adding M2M to your car and other tall stories - December 13, 2012 5 months ago by Tim Masson
" You ask ... "after all, who’s going to buy a Lumia?" .... I am thinking about doing just that! ... and I think that anyone who has previously owned a Nokia phone and now has a shiny smart phone that suffers from dropped calls, missing SMS, 'ear dialling', the need to recharge twice a day and lots of intrusive marketing is VERY likey to consider moving to WinMob 8 on a Lumia 820 or 920. Other Windows 8 Smartphones are available! And probably they are really good too! " In Have no fear, Nokia’s Here Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" There is no upgrade path for most Android phones and upgrading older IOS devices, where possible, will give you the worst possible mapping and navigation imaginable! As likely as not you can't upgrade IOS either - I can't upgrade my iPAD and it is not yet 2 years old! I'd MUCH rather have a phone with access to a hundred really useful apps than 10000 mediocre ones, and I think I'd like a real choice of hardware supplier. WP8 seems to offer both of these. " In Any takers for Windows Phone 8? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Contacless payment is here now - Starbucks, McD, Transport etc .... QR scanning/bar code reading is too slow for fast transaction payment. OK iP users NEVER take the bus? (Not in the US maybe, China, Japan, London? Yes they do!) " In iPhone 5 has no NFC - does Apple have another plan? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" I switched to progressive mode and this was stall-free for me " In Codgertations: Why do great smartphone companies fail? - July 13th, 2012 Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Oh dear! I have 5 'devices': Work phone, personal phone, iPad, USB stick modem and an old phone with non-expiring (voice) credit kept as an 'emergency' phone in the car! Next month I get a new car and it has its own (M2M) device. If I leave a phone in the forest, and there is nobody around to hear it ring ... does it make a sound when I call it? " In Time for a 'one person, one mobile' policy? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" :) " In Doh! Google dropped in the doo-doo by "Engineer Doe" Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" 14 million new jobs ....? Doing what? " In The Madness of Clouds Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" WebOS is Dead! Long Live HTML50S! Got a ring to it that one - NOT! " In Room for a little one? Can an HTML5-based mobile OS succeed against the big boys? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Waterloo a debacle - surely a glorious victory against the Fr ... or a shabby railway terminal south of the river! " In RIM: a company with Eg and Ham all over its face Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" No its not - its a iPhone, so it must be special! " In Sprint goes down the "implausible deniability" route with the iPhone 5 Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" I was on the side of the maze bright moose - until I heard that that was probably Canadian too! " In It's official. If you use Internet Explorer, you're an idiot! Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Obviously you want me to eread THIS story, but I want to read some of the other stories ... so why is this the story that opens? I think we should be told (!!) " In Could we soon see ‘Paper Apps’? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Of course the networks want you to overbuy - they get your dosh and don't have to deliver a bean! Not so very long a go 'Pay as you go' was 'Pay for what you use' so you could buy a SIM with £25 credit that was maybe 10p minute and £15/GB, and you topped up when you had used it all. What happened to that? I bought 3's 3GB for £20 SIM on an iPad and 3 months later I have used 1.2GB and a top-up will be £10/GB. So now I will wait until I need it. I'd cheerfully pay £15/GB for UK data and maybe much more while roaming - if my credit did not automatically expire after 30 days. I'm sure I'm not alone! " In It's the wrong tariff, Gromit! And it's gone wrong!! Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" What's the betting? " In iPhone users snooze and lose Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" So just how are we going to be able to do this? We have not worked out the storage mechanism yet, let alone figured out the coding process! Or maybe lets wait & see! " In Making Total Recall real? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" Great show guys - I'd meant to rate it a 5 - but the mouse slipped - must have been hearing that Matron was on the warpath " In Talking Telecoms: Codgertations, 24th September, 2010 Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" What does Leila think about this ...? " In OMG! LBD goes GSM! LOL! Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" In a domestic or SOHO environment user will need a WiFi and femto AP that shared the same 'backhaul' (ADSL or cable). It is all about pervasive access and, as you say, it would only cost pennies to add the WiFi part to the femto I think it is bound to happen probably quite soon. " In Femtocells and WiFi: Why can't they just get on? Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" "Britain clung to its incredibly ancient, arcane and complex old money system for a long time and the country didn't go decimal until 1972, and then only very reluctantly" ... and yes and weren't we all ripped off by the price hikes in low-cost items! Many of our European neighbours feel the same about the 'adjustments' that accompanied the €uro - and all this probably explains the reluctance of many Brits for adoption of the €vil €uro! " In "Tell me about Subscriber Trunk Dialing. I must know everything." OK, but only if you promise not... Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" I disagree, we'd care if it was some Government agency watching us and deciding which school we could send our kids too or which medical services we could get. " In Phorm system declared illegal in the UK. How absolutely phabulous! Over 6 months by Tim Masson
" So "The fact the telephone companies are going to start paying those taxes is going to start taking some pressure off the taxpayers - both residential and commercial" - oh no it won't .. they will pay more for their telecoms, and no doubt the good old telcos will mark up their tax bills to pay for the 'administration'. Taxes will only go down when the public sector starts spending less. That won't happen in my lifetime or yours, I'm afraid! " In Up the pole in Massachussetts Over 6 months by Tim Masson
