Italians teach iPhone users how to read the BBC news

Nibble Genoa the way to go

THE iTalian press is pointing out that the latest iPhone application which allows punters to read BBC news was penned by a developer from Genoa.

Within a few days, since it appeared on the official site of Apple, the iTalian code, called BBC News Channel, has been downloaded several hundred thousand times.

The developer, Mauritius Zilli, thinks that having written the code he will be famous and he will get a small amount of cash for every download that is made. Alas most Apple fanboys will believe that the code was written by Steve Jobs in his spare time, and most British people will think must have been coded by the Beeb. µ

No, Nick, they won't. Since you lack to wits to write a proper story around this interesting little talk, you pulled the rest of it out of your arse. Again.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
