yes because Tesco is ALL about competition and doing the best for you customers ...

@Kelmon:

Yeah they have the bees on as part of the order, basically you pre-pay for them through Omlet and they source them locally to you - 10,000 workers, a queen and a bunch of unhatched bees too.

I was going to get some for one of my enemies and have them post them to him.
The thought of someone getting a box of bees, shaking it up and down excitedly like a kid at Christmas that just got a big present from his rich uncle, listening for a tell-tale sign of it being something expensive (could it be that I won that PS3 in the competition I entered??). The gleeful urgency of ripping off of the wrapping, the premise of what lies beneath that covering of brown paper. The blood curdling scream of terror as his entire lounge is enveloped in a black and yellow buzzing swarm of fury as it is released from it's cardboard tomb.
Joy.

Hope it's not anything Mini related, I waited for the refresh to buy it and its in the back of the courier van on its way to me right now.
Will be going back if there is a significant change, hurrah for distance selling regulations :D

Was thinking the same. Hope the watch face is skinnable too, looks very much like the Viewty / Prada interface which could be good as there is quite a bit of work done on that platform with flash

Hurrah! At last some more focus on manufacturers to reduce their packaging footprint rather than the onus being on the consumer.
It makes me sick that retailers are preaching to me about using plastic bags while they are wasting thousands in the name of "convenience" with lights on 24 hours a day and refrigerators with no doors, but they look at me like I killed a dolphin should I want a plastic bag. Why don't they just give the option of brown paper like they have in the USA for years?

Nah, its the crappy "news" tabloids that have caused it. Because there is no real proof of what will actually happen they have made up something - not that that's anything unusual for the Sun paper - so all the retards who read it (which is saying a lot as I doubt most of their regular buyers can get beyond page 3 when the pretty pictures stop) have swallowed it.

Seems kinda pointless how much noise it makes in the name of "Pedestrian safety".
I still get people walk out in the road all the time regardless of having a VERY loud can on my Buell, they still don't hear it. Its usually cyclists with their ipods on and earbuds rammed into their heads, they can't hear anything at all and think they don't need to check before jumping off the kerb into the traffic.

Now, while I understand what you are saying Alex, you have also shown the exact reasons why HOME Server is better than Linux for a HOME user - while I know Linux can do these things its hardly a case of popping to the shop, plugging it in the network and power - job done. That is the WHS experience for the target audience, its sold as a "white goods" solution IMO hence the hardware tie-in when it was initially released.
Linux solution (while it is free, its a lot of hours work to get it right) = find distribution that does everything you want out the box, find the distribution that NEARLY does what you want, download ISO, wonder how you install it for a while, buy hardware to install it on, burn the ISO, connect monitor/keyboard/mouse to install it, read countless geeky posts about how to set up processes to serve the UPNP streams to your Media centre extender (Xbox 360 etc), XBMC, configure folder duplication across disks, configure the remote access to the server from the internet, write special bit of script (or a canned one) for automated backup from the Windows clients to the Linux server...
You understand what I mean? Its not a plug and play solution or even approaching one.
I buy a WHS machine it does the above out the box, with very little configuration to be done.

The target audience for the WHS product is by and large not massively techy IMO.

I dont see the point at all, all they will do is push out their "headline" 100mbps as a marketing/shareholder gimmick then proceed to hide everything about "throttling" this and "dont actually use it" that in the AUP as Virgin are doing right now.

"We got the UKs fastest broadband network, but don't you dare use it!"

They are completely out of touch with peoples needs for faster broadband and effectively killing the VOD market before it even gets going. How many HD films via something like Apple TV does 10gig a month get you? Cool you can get your film and a bit quick but then you cannot surf the rest of the month...awesome :rolleyes:

Pfft, dont sweat it. The reception in the UK is great only if you live inside a major city centre. Merely a few miles outside of that and you are lucky to get a signal at all let alone one worth using.
