Meh, if you leak the designs on TV, "by accident", then you don't actually have to waste money building it, because people will believe you already have...

New Mexico man jailed for spraying children with semen-loaded squirt gun | US news | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015 ... squirt-gunI'd say he'll be dealing with something worse in prison if they don't put him in the nonce wing. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Hmm, the screen on my company Galaxy S3 broke a few weeks back, I knocked over a bottle of water on my desk and it landed on the phone, cracking the screen. I am now using a Windows Phone 7 phone from 2010. I have a 2 year old iPhone 5S in my desk drawer and I'm still trying to decide whether to go with the iPhone over the htc Mozart - that said, the Mozart is in much better condition; I never used any case on the Mozart, the previous owner of the iPhone had used a silicon slip case on it and the metal around the edge is all chipped and the back is scratched to hell... I've pre-ordered the new Lumia 950 and I'm thinking of putting the company SIM in my old, private Lumia 1020 when the new phone arrives.

I don't know, given that malware being delivered through adverts from legitimate ad flingers is the main cause of infections at the moment, they could claim it is on security grounds.

I am finding ads so intrusive now. Pre page screens with video, ads that obscure the page, auto play adverts. So much so that I am more likely to bail than stick it out to the content. Many years ago, I posted a video showing how the MacUser web site loaded with and without the ads. The adverts slowed it down so much. Some ad networks clearly don't check their content's behaviour on mobile devices either, as witness some sites linked to from this place which are crippled on an iPad.
