Let the $100 profit trolling comments start. Based largely upon the existing costs of components used in the iPad 2, Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire it’s reckoned the iPad mini may cost $189.32 to build there are however some missing costs in these figures.

I’ve always said that if you want to reduce online show pirating reduce that time between a shows first airing and shows being available online in different countries. BBC have just announced that Dr Who will be available to Australia just mere seconds after the showing in the UK. You want to stop people torrenting shows? Make sure that theres no need to..

After winning their case with Samsung recently Apple are now trying to stop sales on 8 of the 28 Samsung products found to be infringing Apple patents. The products include the Galaxy S 4G, the Galaxy S2 for AT&T, the Galaxy S2 for Skyrocket, the Galaxy S2 for T-Mobile, the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, the Galaxy S Showcase, the Droid Charge and the Galaxy Prevail.
The flagship for Samsung, Galaxy s3 remains untouched.
Samsung in a memo to employees after losing to Apple:
History has shown there has yet to be a company that has won the hearts and minds of consumers and achieved continuous growth, when its primary means to competition has been the outright abuse of patent law, not the pursuit of innovation.

You couldn’t help but notice that the UK will start to get 4g rollout this year as early as september thanks to Everything Everywhere but now UK network operator Three (who won the best value sim for your iPad / iPhone) are also joining the party. Three is a network that’s more aimed at Data so it shouldn’t be surprising they’ve joined the 4g party.

Moving to the Mac means a great deal of pleasure / pain experiences, what you get in the way of a stable operating system, app store goodness and other cool features you feel the pain in other ways. Office sucks on anything but a high-end iMac and you sacrifice gaming in almost all senses when compared to pc counterparts. Sure steam gives access to some ports but Mac’s have never been well-known for their graphics card prowess.
Remember Onlive? that online gaming company which promised a full on gaming experience no mattter what your hardware or platform as long as you had a decent internet connection has sold it’s assets to an unknown party at this moment. I took at look at Onlive a good while back and found it to be impressive but mainly for those rocking a fibre or unbundled connection in metropolitan areas to reduce lag.

Business cards are a part of business life as are stuffy boardroom meetings, tie’s designed to give you that precise level of uncomfort that’s just about bearable and not to mention the posturing of who has the best finished business card (see the remake of American Psycho’s business card comparison scene.)

Well this is just downright creepy yet somehow unsurprising. For those who do use Torrents for anything other than their legally intended purpose, this should serve as a reminded to get some security in place. It knows what you’ve downloaded Torrent wise right down to the date, time and filename.
The conspiracy theorist in me does start to think that seeing as the site is run by anti piracy groups is this some way to almost verify yourself against illegal downloads?
Just launched on YouView is Sky’s Now TV service. Available in a all-you-can-eat movies subscription format for £15 a month or on a Pay and Play with some movies apparently available from 99p (not that I’ve seen any so far.)
£15 might seem a lot to cough up for movies per month when compared to Love Film or Net Flix however Now TV film offerings are current which Sky seems to have tied up the UK market with and don’t forget you get Live channels on your desktop machine. So is it any good on the YouView Humax box?
