That is interesting there must be a definite business case to go on with the moral decision.

The interesting point for me will be when websites remove specific Twitter metadata instead of Open graph.

Sad in what way, seeing someone develop an 'old way' craft and apply it? Or that it is not more intertwined in the fabric of society?

I've fainted a few times and that reboot experience was the same. It felt like the RoboCop boot sequence, you get sound and then vision that slowly returns.

Most regions have prescribed safety standards to meet, for instance the kitemark or the CE mark (http://www.safekids.co.uk/toysafetymarks.html)[http://www.sa... show an item meets the regulatory safety requirements - these aren't added by stores, they are obtained by the manufacturer so that its products can be sold in stores across Britain and Europe.

Saying that the onus should be on stores is crazy, unless you accept that a company should have exclusive rights to your product at which point it become a licensed product and would probably be branded as such.

I've been to a few pick your own farms in Staffordshire, but these have been secondary businesses to farm shops or petting zoos.

I think strawberry farms have got technology down to a point where having people (especially children) ambling around is invasive. I see a lot of polysterene covered tunnels in fields which I've seen strawberries grown in. As we rely more on technology, the more it distances us from the process.

My father had Muscular Dystrophy and enjoyed computer games that allowed him to do things he could never do. He was a particular fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator and we would spread out the big maps of airfields and plot courses and enjoy the virtual freedom of a city or country with the expansion packs.

I think if he were alive today, he'd probably have a VR headset.

Looking back I regret the times that I, in my ignorance, nagged him about still being on the computer and just gliding along the sky.

Maybe the Apple Store will be redesigned so it's actually responsive and works on mobile.

They are letting Britain leave, it's happening on the 29th March. What they are being tough on is what happens after that, because Britain is currently a big economy that EU businesses have a lot of fingers in pies in.

A caloric deficit is the only way to lose weight. You can burn off the calories that you eat, if you have the time and the energy; but the most efficient way is not to eat those calories in the first place and then exercise to improve your strength, cardio-vascualar stamina and flexibility.
