There was a fucking brilliant debate on Radio 4 today at 12
There was a woman saying that porn should be banned and that it was clearly easy because Talk Talk said they could do it. And this guy came on and said, "okay, what about the Sun, should that be banned because of the breasts?" and she went "errrrr, well, maybe" and he pointed out that that is exactly why filters don't work because you can't have a maybe.

It was great radio.

Unfortunately radio here is Key103, or something like that.
Brain numbing, commercial dance crap.

They have a playlist of about 6 tracks, all shit.
The evening stuff's ok, but the daytime list is pants.

I love listening to stupid arguments being ripped to shreds.
It's just very sad that it seems to be mostly ill-informed women who spout shit on national TV and radio.

Yes, but
it's a well-established fact that volume and vehemence can make up for any lack of facts and logic.

See any argument about paedophiles, criminals, and the sanctity of marriage.

i don't think boobs in the sun does any harm if kids see it, but its the objectification of women, and the leering blokes that make it should be banned
i don't see the harm in porn being banned by your ISP too either, sure parents should be smart enough to block those sites from their kids, but most aren't

if it's blocked at teh ISP and you have to opt-in, fair enough

Hey you
Do I get an ipad 3 or a nice android tablet? I like android, the swype function is good and I'm not an apple fangirl.
But I have to sell my ipod and ebook to make room for a tablet, and if I sell the ipod I'll need a decent MP3 player.

Hmmm.

Wait a month, there are possiblities of apple announcing a budget iPad / 7" one at the WWDC.
Apple are going to do some massive things inside a month's time, and it looks like about half their products are going to get updated with the possiblity of new lines.

But I like the 10" screen on the 'not ipad 3'
Does it have the same mp3 functionality as the ipod touch?

Cool, I love my iPad, it's only second to my laptop and mobile when it comes to most used gadget...
... and laptop doesn't really count as a gadget, it's a primary computer that I use. The iPad has changed the way I consume information.

Yup, it has wicked music'n'video'n'streaming functions, it's great at that. I plug mine into the doc thing I use it as a radio as I fall asleep.

If I could afford it, I'd upgrade to the new ipad from ipad 1, I'd only go for the 16gb one though.
(, Mon 14 May 2012, 17:27, Reply)
I carry at least 20gb of music about with me though
but I don't need 3g/4g, wifi would be enough. i can get a 32gb ipad 3 for less than £500. It wouldn't fit in my little dock though.
(, Mon 14 May 2012, 17:34, Reply)
4G doesn't exist in the UK at this point in time. I've no doubt that apple's move over to LTE will get the ball rolling faster this year..
... but it's a political rather than technical reason why it isn't here yet.

The big thing last year is Cloud... you have access to your entire music libary anywhere you have a connection, and have to be a little bit choosy (limiting it to a good hundred albums or soo) if you're taking it offline. That'll still give lots of room for books, magazines, telly and films.

Yeah', that's one of the bitches, the dock side of things. I found a wicked one here: www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1897&bih=1083&q=altec+ipad+dock&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=16963178820574418703&sa=X&ei=tTWxT4vREuWs0QWE0fS8CQ&ved=0CIUBEPMCMAE

I guess because I'm using my iphone for mp3, ps vita for films, it allows for me to have less on each device as they have different uses.
