iPhone Siri software tells boy, 12, to ‘shut up’ in Tesco

Ash — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 17:27:53 +0000

Charlie Le Quesne was trying out the iPhone 4S at a Tesco store in Coventry when it told him: “Shut the f*** up, you ugly t***.”
The boy had been using the phone’s Siri system – which answers spoken questions – and had asked it: “How many people are there in the world?”
His mother Kim, 39, a nursery worker, told The Sun: “The phone was a demo version and was low enough on the shelf for Charlie to have a go with it. He asked it a simple question and we couldn’t believe the filth it came out with.

I think this is hilarious….!!!

Personally stuck with the iPhone 4

How to embed YouTube Video’s in WordPress

Ash — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 21:01:50 +0000

Had a slight problem getting YouTube video’s to embed on one of my pages! found this useful video that will help you, its simple really the only I have found is remember what you change in WordPress that way if and when things screw up (and they will!) you can reverse the process quite easily.

If you have any other WordPress questions, please post them!

You can also change the size very easily if you look at the embed link, it would normally have a width and height, just play with numbers in order for your YouTube video to have the perfect fit.

RIP Brian Haw Died 18th June 2011

Peace protester Brian Haw died on the 18th of June 2011 may he rest in peace.
He had been protesting against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for over a decade, I actually met him when I was going through Parliament square feeling nosy and decided to have a chat with him, he was a decent man with conviction, well I guess staying there for over 10 years you need some conviction in your cause. Brian died of lung cancer, the government tried really hard to get rid of him including passing new laws to stop anyone demonstrating within half a mile of parliament but they failed, on a personal note my thoughts are with his family and friends.

RIP Brian haw

Make Pizza at home with fresh dough…

Made Pizza last night, amazing how many pizza’s you can make out of a bag of dough! Just another tip make sure you leave your pizza for a minute to set before cutting, or the cheese will go everywhere!

and another one….

Call me stupid, but just looking at an article that has appeared all over news networks internationally “NATO probes Libya civilian raids” (Bodies were pulled from a badly damaged three-storey house after the alleged raid in the Souk al-Juma district.) NATO says a surface-to-air missile site in northern Tripoli was successfully hit overnight, but it has previously admitted mistakes in targeting, let me get this right, NATO gets UN approval for a no fly zone over Libya, they decide to bomb it anyway, then it turns out that Civilian targets have been hit, OK I get it up to that part, now what I don’t get is NATO is probing what happened!

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that like a bank robber probing if he robbed the bank and it violated the law? and what happens if they come to the conclusion that they were wrong, what then? oh we won’t do it again, seriously have standards slipped that much in this “democratic” world we live in?

Start the debate….

David Cameron’s “Bad Dads” attack criticised

Ash — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:52:58 +0000

The PM’s decision to criticize “bad dads” has not been taken as well as intended according to the BBC charity Gingerbread says that “Government Proposals to charge those needing state help to obtain child maintenance would make life harder for lone parents.” The PM also stated that Bad Dad’s should be treated like Drink Drivers, mmm that’s based on the assumption that some one who is convicted for Drink Drive drink drives everyday, I can’t see the parallel here, Please Mr. PM help me understand, but really further to the point, what do you say to the Iraqi, Afghan, and now Libyan families that YOU have taken their fathers away, will you compensate in any way, probably not, in fact what do you know about real life Mr. PM you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have never done a days work in your life, and your sick enough to be planning your Victory Parade with Mr. Sarkozy.

I do genuinely feel there is a problem with what the PM likes to refer as “Bad dads” but I do feel the situation needs more than an Eton toff shouting the odds at the most likely time these part time fathers will be seeing their children. The root needs to be addressed which I think is Education, people growing up in the UK need to realise the importance of bringing up children and not just having a child for a flat or the benefits that they will be entitled too, but the care and upbringing that a stable family brings, I could go on about this for ages, frankly I can’t be bothered! Simply concentrate more on educating the public of whats expected when they decide to bring children into this world and let parents exercise more discipline to their children, I think that’s the right start point and maybe some investment in relationship counselling, I think its way to easy for couple to break up because they know the state will come in and provide, I simply think this is the wrong attitude, but Mr. PM I can’t see them taking your words on board, your talking about fathers who graft hard to earn a living, NOT simply bowing to demands of the Banks and corporations in order to get what they want, maybe you should have had an MP with working class creditability to make the speech, oops I forgot you don’t have any of them in your government do you?

Lord Mandelson reports email hacking to the police

Ash — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 20:49:51 +0000

“Ex-ministers Lord Mandelson and Jack Straw want to know what information Scotland Yard has about Jonathan Rees, who worked for the News of the World.”

reports the BBC news today, I remember after The news of the World article that hacking was widespread but this story is getting worse and worse by the day, it makes you wonder if senior Politicians and “Celebrities” are only finding out now and under very difficult means how much privacy does the average Jo Bloggs have?

Nokia’s Latest smart phone fails to Impress

Ash — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 19:24:52 +0000

Nokia’s recent attempts to regain part of the market that has been taken now by Apple and Blackberry have failed to impress anyone, even after a partnership with Microsoft they still don’t seem to get what the consumer wants, I find it amazing that Microsoft the creators of Windows and Office still cannot grasp what we want! When we ask for touchscreen it means touch screen as in with fingers not a nail and a hammer, when we want apps streamlined it means that they should be light and responsive not crash everytime you pick the dam thing up, the last time Nokia actually got it right was with the N73, after that it was all downhill.

I had a Nokia N97 paid over £400 because I wanted it so bad and was in contract, what a waste of time crashed at the time i needed it most, thankfully O2 sold me an iPhone 3GS and I was on the way again.

I’m sorry Nokia you not getting my money anytime soon.
