[sdiy] Bootcamp . Parallels/ off patch over priced Mac rubbish

[Graham Atkins]

Love the iBed, surprised Jobs hasn't tried to register that one !!

There are 2 main terrestrial broadcast organisations in the UK. The  
BBC is
government funded and ITV is a commercial organisation. The BBC set up a
free to watch video streaming system and called it "iPlayer". ITV has  
done
similar and called theirs "itv Player".......

Mr Jobs is getting upset because he wanted to use iTV for his new TV
device and ITV threatened him for trying to use their registered  
company name.
