With the iPhone on PAY AS YOU GO, the first years internet is free, 100% unlimited 3Gness, sign me up..or not, no contract, sorry couldn't help that joke.

Yeah me to.

You don't need to stab it, you just press it like any other key. It's when you strike it from an angle or softly, it won't come on. It's to do with springs in the key, to prevent the age old problEM OF ACCIDENTALLY TYPING CAPS LOCK MID SENTENCE. f**k.

There shouldn't be any lag WITH THE CAPS LOCK KEY. Like I just demonstrated there. Ensure you're actually pressing the key, as the new keyboards have a feature to prevent you from accidentally striking it mid typing. And Marc, we don't want your freakin' stinking PC so SHUT THE HELL UP. See my caps works fine.

I already explained in great deal what Google Chrome does that no other browser atm does. Each tab has its own process, despite what you think, that does not exist on any other browser in existence, other than Google Chrome. Secondly, Javascript runs insanely fast, 20x faster than Safari, the previous fastest browser out there. It's so fast because they've made JavaScript a virtual machine, and in a sense actually compiles the code, which makes it blazing fast. No other browser does this. Thirdly, each tab is 'sandboxed', meaning it has no affect on any other tab in the window, or your system, meaning the site has no access to read cookies unless that site specifically put them there, stopping the age old problem of session hijacking. Fourthly Chrome manages your systems memory in an incredibly efficient way. I'm not smart enough to explain this one, but basically with every other browser, even with Safari on the Mac, the more tabs and windows you open, the more memory you use, of-course, simple enough. Problem is when you have loads of tabs, you're using a lot of memory, so you close the tabs, so your ram usage for that application has lowered, right? Wrong. You're still using a lot of ram, as fragments get left behind, and the application doesn't shrink as far as it could. Google Chrome has solved this. That's just four things that it does that no other browser does, but there are some more. Look it all up, MacBoy

Well as soon as we've had enough people show genuine interest in the content our adverts display, thus then clicking them to find further product information, they'll have to stay! Jus' saying.

Ad blockers block adverts that support your dear TPM, Marc must be high on drugs to say that I think.And I hope you're not insinuating that IE is better than Chrome. What's that? You're not? Oh Googly® good.

Putting the icon in teh bin doesn't mean it's gone! BURN IT!

Google aren't making a phone, they're making Android, the software for a phone in a partnerships with other companies. Google is a search company, their primary goal is to "organize all of the worlds data, and do no evil", that is there mission statement. Branching out into the phone software market is a clever move, as it means close integration with their Google Docs, Gmail, Google Search, Google Calender, Google anything. People then use these tools online, see more Google products, use Google search, see the sponsored links, click, Google gets more money. They're not gonna do an mp3 player purely for the fact it doesn't tick the boxes for integration with their existing products. Everything Google do is for their benefit, and they have to do it to survive as a successfully company. Recently net neutrality became a big cause for concern for Google, as restricting access and speeds of websites affects their business models, so it's in their best interest to protect that neutrality, which is why soon they'll be offering tools to alert the consumer if there ISP is throttling them (I believe it'll built into Chrome, actually). Google for the past 7 years has been buying miles and miles of copper cable, and recently announced that they'll be laying an underwater cable between Japan and the US, to me it sounds like there 'insurance plan', if net neutrality goes belly up. They do it to protect themselves. Google, whilst it does all of this for its own benefit, I think they're a majorly important part of the world today, they create drive and competition, which only pushes them and the competition to create even better products. So I think Chrome, Android, and all these new Google ventures are a step forward and a big push, the internet, the phone market and technology in general needs, which is why I'm so excited about it all.

So Google are pushing the boundaries of evolving the internet, and possibly computing as we know it, and all you can think about is porn?!

I completely disagree. Firstly Google are trying to achieve what everyone else has failed at doing, evolve the web browser to catch up with what we expect from the web today. It's the only browser I know of that has made me think 'why has no one else thought of this?'. It seems such an obvious thought to make each tab unaffected by another one, yet the most elegant and clear solution has remained the most illusive all this time. Not only does this give stability, but also security. For years now it's been an issue with malicious web pages able to extract information from other session, or cookies from other sites, such as emails and passwords. But now that's not a problem, because Chrome blocks that from happening, each tab is in its own little world, unaffected by any other actions. So just that alone makes it have a lot of real difference from other browsers out there today. Yes the design is minimalistic, but that's not what this project is about, its about pushing the browser forward. Ask any web designer what the most frustrating and limiting thing is in web design, and they'll tell you making your sites work consistently in all browsers. The amount of times I have been reduced to sheer rage at the fact that something will work in one browser, but not an another, I can't even remember how many times. And this is what Google is trying to address, using a rock solid engine, which is W3C standardized, so you follow one set of rules, and you KNOW it'll work across the board.I could ramble on a lot more about why this is great, such as the fact it's one step closer to 'cloud computing'. It's clear Google has its eyes set on eventually replacing desktop applications as we know, it's already done it with email (Gmail), and it's trying now with Google Docs, etc. Applications and Javascript run a lot more fast. It handles memory A LOT more efficiently. One problem with FireFox and Safari is the fact that when you open loads of tabs, and then close them again, the ram hasn't been recycled back into the system, its just sitting there, not being used, and won't go back into the cycle until the program has been closed (known as a memory leak).I think this is one massive win for the internet as a whole.

Here is my two cents on Google chrome as a web developer. I'm in love with what they're doing. They've basically said "Look, the web has evolved, but the browser hasn't". They've redesigned everything and started from the ground up and built it around what the web is today. It was built with applications in mind, each tab is its own process, so if one web app crashes, the rest of the browser is fine, similar to how OS X works. They've used webkit, a great rendering engine, same that Safari uses so web pages load fast, and standard compliant. The UI is minimalistic, and is typically Google to just get out the way of things, and let you get on with what you want to do. Google don't care if this thing is a 'flop', they've even said that themselves, what they're trying to do is evolve the web, which is why they've made the entire project open source, so other browsers such as Firefox can take these ideas and run with them. It's to Googles advantage to keep the web evolving, they're a web based company after all, and they want to push web applications to their limits. This all makes perfect sense.

Sounds like you're using an unsupported internet browser. TPM is tested to work in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, FireFox, Safari and Opera. I recommended you get FireFox. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Should work regardless of your browser setup, are you sure it's just not downloading and you haven't realized? Anyways I've added an option to the player to view the raw mp3 file, which you can then right click and save target as, etc.

Lmao. Thankyou Tommy. Ruhaddict, there is a big button that says "Download ________", so it's actually easier than downloading from Merlin Media. TPM, going further, so you don't have to.

Firstly, where did I say it was Mac? Secondly it's not released yet, so no one knows.

You do know all the audio is on Thorpe Park Mania?http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/ride/Detonator/audiohttp://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/ride/Neme...20Inferno/audiohttp://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/ride/Colossus/audiohttp://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/audio

Firstly, when have school computers ever been great. Secondly, their networked, so like ahem, the Windows machines at our school, they'll be slow. If they're running that bad then it's your networks admin fault. Not to mention the school probably opted for the low end models, which Apple don't even sell direct to the consumer, because of how low end they are. Either that, or they're old.

Google getting ready to release its own browser, interesting! It'll be bassed of Webkit, the rendering engine Safari uses, so it's all W3C compliant, nice stuff! Also a feature I'm most excited about Funny, since we were talking about that the other day. The browser will be released Wednesday and be called "Chrome"

Companies will apply for patents on anything they can, to give them leverage over a another company. Like Apple patented a technique of trapping objects and sealing in plastic, like on the white iMacs, which Microsoft uses on the Zune, so Microsoft have to pay Apple royalties.

I think what Kabz was trying to say, is that they use quality hardware, not cheap as opposed to someone like Dell. Use a cheap HD and it's likely it will fail sooner, etc.

Sound like a kid in a playground, what the hell are you on about? And if you don't see an iMac with a quad core, then you go find the MacPro with two quad cores? Steven, it's clear you've never used a Mac, with statements "you can't update your software and hardware easily". One screw comes out and I have access to my RAM and hardrive for upgrade, one push of a button runs Software update, which checks all my programs for updates.As I said, not gonna keep arguing.

You do know Apple is close with Intel, so we actually get the new processors a month before they're actually released? I'm not gonna keep on arguing, it's a fruitless task. I've already made my thoughts clear. Windows inability to manage resources, the fact it can't protect itself without 3rd party help, and the lack of fluency through out the OS is why I, personally, use a Mac. You can use your windows, really, fine by me, I didn't come into your topic and start calling windows s**t, did I?
