  • Amazon: "Sales of Windows 7 in the first 8 hours it was available outstripped those of Windows Vista's entire 17 week pre-order period" #
  • Just placed an order for some Hibi Wash+ and Gel Rub+ (Chlorhexidine gluconate). Good prices too at Hibihealth considering the pandemic….. #
  • @davidscottkane Locksmith managed to get the door open and then tried to fleece us for hundreds of pounds. Ran off with our old lock. Dodgy! in reply to davidscottkane #
  • Calling locksmiths as front door is broken (locked shut). #
  • The general lack of education indicated by Twitterers #Tamiflu comments is almost as frightening as the pandemic: Read the research papers!! #
  • I propose a social experiment; turn off access to Google (and all other search engines) for a week and see what happens…… #
  • @keithpp The Farnborough Airport / TAG affair is interesting although we all know that the local council will force their plans through… in reply to keithpp #
  • @steven_amani The rumour of Apple calling Microsoft sounds amusing! I doubt it was a legal threat but merely a notice of the Macbook $ drop in reply to steven_amani #
  • @rahim_hirani How did you find the migration went? Were you still able to use features like delegates, invitations and shared calendars? in reply to rahim_hirani #
  • Has anybody (specially a Micro ISV) switched from using Outlook/Exchange to Google Apps? (And Outlook plugin / mobile device google sync?) #
  • Only the Royal Mail leave a delivery card at 12:30, asking you to wait 1 hour to visit a depot to collect your parcel that closes at 13:00. #
  • I hope the cyclist lying down in the avenue, lasham is alright. It looked like he had died on one of our countries dangerous b roads.Zp #
  • Google offer an outlook plugin that recreates the Exchange experience with your data in the cloud. Steve Ballmer is not going to be happy. #
  • @BobWalsh Oh Azure does have prices now! Thank you for the heads up. My Azure project has been on hold pending pricing info. Thanks :) #
  • @BobWalsh I haven't seen the video, but I bet it doesn't cover "When is Windows Azure" and "How much is Windows Azure"? Two important q's… in reply to BobWalsh #
  • @Tony_1976 I've asked my good lady to clean the outside of our house for the cameras :) in reply to Tony_1976 #
  • Google "Street View" cars are in Farnborough. (Just in time to catch people on camera suffering from the piggy disease). #
  • My seventh consecutive night of a 14 hour working day, getting to bed after 3:30am. I'm not the only dev with a screwed body clock, am I? :) #
  • If Apple charge VAT at 21.5% for UK purchases made within the App Store, then why don't they provide a VAT receipt so one can claim the VAT? #
  • Awesome solar backpack. Well priced too, and delivers an actually usable charge. http://twitpic.com/abo0j #
  • @StuartJones Until tax inspectors stop prolonged investigations of borderline cases & act fairly, IR35 will remain a low yield & costly tax in reply to StuartJones #
  • Just received an invite to join the Sage Developers Programme. The small print – £2,700 for year one. No thanks! SAGE = SDK/API EPIC FAIL. #
