the first thing I would uninstall on a PC was quicktime; it came second only to AOL software, anyone remember that ?
Indeed, and then you go and install a printer...
Why is it that printer manufacturers believe that they alone know how you should arrange you photo collection (we all know that's the job of camera manufacturers. Not) and to add insult to inconvenience believe that you really want to print all those pictures. AND... then keep popping up reminders that you could do more and there's an update so you can do even more. Fuckit, I bought the damned printer so I could do less.
(I just looked at my printer and it has a flashing light and a message saying "Turn power off and then on again" It can't do that itself?.

In reply to Bernard Hickey's question "Dear Allan Hubbard - Please say sorry and thanks"Ryansway (Wellington)

Forget Allan Hubbard Bernard, he simply took the money others freely gambled and he rolled the dice.The apology owned NZ tax payers should come from John Key and Bill English. They took the decision to use tax payers money for the benefit of a very few, and those few already had the disposable funds available to risk in return for higher interest rates - they hardly needed "bailing out"!
Our Government has rewarded greed, they punish hardship, and they make a mockery of our failing democracy.
The only thing Allan Hubbard has done is make the John and Bill puppet show reveal their true colors. It's a halo of deep blue and arrogance to boot.
This episode in corporate brown-nosing and right-wing back-scratching is a slap in the face of all New Zealanders living below the poverty line. Where is their bail-out when life takes a turn for the worse? They don't get one, instead they are denied fewer benefits of the taxes they contributed every year of their working lives because this National Government is busy handing it over to the rich!
Come to think of it, an apology wouldn't cut it because words are cheap and John Key is full of them.
100+ LikesIt seem Te Heralds "Like" counter only runs to 100 and that is not a big enough number to indicate the number of people, who read comments to Hickey's column, that are sick and tired of the Johnny and Bill puppet show.

I to walk around the city at night in winter with someone white tied over their mouths.
I say, that's a touch racist, init?.

One of the wonderful side effects of the social discouragement of smoking is it gives justification to those that wish to be rude, arrogant, opinionated fuckers. Hopefully they take up jogging and they go away quicker.

If you analyse the figures that ASH bandy about you will notice that if they banned smoking not only will people never die but more human beings will spontaneously pop into existence. The problem then will be, what do we do with all the extra people?

Anyone know what kind of rep Archos has for reliability, though?
I've not heard of any problems with them but have no personal experience with them.
On the other hand if you want to spend a little more you just can't beat these devices from Cowon. They really make an iPod sound like poo.

Never been impressed with the iPod, in any of its iterations. I wouldn't go as far as saying the sound quality is crap but it is far from the best you can get. I am quite happy with my sony NWZ-A828 but if I were to be in the market for a new one I'd find it hard to ignore the Archos 3 Vision A steal at under $150.

Dude, give me some credit. If I was going to suggest an international racing event for NZ it wouldn't be V8 "Supercars",
And for me it would not be F1 either, that is far too elitist for my liking but something along the lines of European Saloon cars, bring back Godzilla, suck on that Holden and Ford, V8s are for one toothed yokels.
