Just ordered the HTC One i was really really torn between this and the Galaxy S4 but i feel the HTC is the better phone (been looking into it before either phone came out) I have decided to stay with o2 as i am really happy with them but i did barter them as i could get a 20 percent discount with vodafone through work but i am happy with what they have done for me I have also gone onto their new system called Refresh which means i can upgrade whenever i want if i pay the phone off (normally you pay the phone and airtime both off to do this) So looking forward to getting it! Will be a big change as i have had an iphone for the past 4 years!

What would you recommend as an alternative to a desk top pc? Laptops can be cumbersome (and the battery has given up the ghost in mine!) and trying to get the best out of this forum on my phone is hard work! So, how do you get online? What do you use & why? Since Grumpy has discovered FB & poker again, I'm relegated from the pc till he's had enough & goes to watch TV! If I get my bonus in June's paypacket, I might treat myself to a gadget so I don't have to fight to be here!

Ethernet is 40 today: on 22 May 1973, Xerox PARC's Robert Metcalfe documented a new way to communicate, which he dubbed Ethernet. The birthday is rather arbitrary - Metcalfe later admitted that he needed to pick a birthday for marketing reasons, and the memo's publication date was as good as anything else - but there's plenty of reason to celebrate it anyway. What started off as a way to connect a few computers to a printer became a way to connect the entire planet.

My laptop is dying the death. I have numerous vertical coloured lines on the screen and the fan sometimes kicks into overdrive. I need a laptop so that I can take it into work with me. I like to watch DVDs, but don't play games and I am also one of those dread people an exam board examiner, and online mark A level exam papers so would prefer a decent sized screen. Downside is I don't have a fortune to spend as I am currently paying for my son's new very expensive fence so the dogs can go visit him His garden is about 1/3 acre so if I say I feel like a registered charity, is no exaggeration. What laptop would you recommend? Also if it comes with Windows 8 does thi…

I'm having a few issues with my phone: It keeps freezing, then blacks out, turns itself off, and when I turn it back on the battery is completely dead, even if it was fully charged. Anyone know whats going on? Its a samsung galaxy S, I've had it for two years and never ever had any issues with it until a couple of weeks ago. I can't afford a new phone right now so this one has to hold on for a few more months Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
