Huawei Ascend D1 Q landing in China on September 12

Last month's Economist


Scary, eh?

still not as scary as this man with his finger on the red button...


Wow, that's a long image link .

Also, you're right. Don't even get me started on Bush's "War on Terror" or as I prefer to call it "War for Oil".

it worked didn't it
Did it? Gas (or petrol, as it should be called) prices have rocketed in the US over the past few years. That suggests they're still being squeezed by OPEC nations which deliberately under-produce to falsely force the effects of limited supply.

Also, the Ascend D1 Q has had its day, it's not going to be better than an S3 and its "most powerful phone in the world" claims were made when its fastest competition was the original 4212 powered Galaxy Note. I'd be willing to bet even a Tegra 3 is faster than Huawei's in-house effort (and Samsung's Exynos 4412 almost certainly is).

i meant the image link
That worked fine, thankfully. I mean, where would Mobot be without a picture of Bush.

listening to lewis ramble on the old sod?
Your terrible punctuation has left me confused, are you calling Lewis or Bush "the old sod"?

Or that the US wants to keep the price high for consumers anyway...
And it's still much cheaper than over here...
If the US really had issue with it there would be a lot more effort on alternative fuels and they'd do more about vehicle fuel inefficiencies (and maybe a few less Monster Truck shows )
Arguably the biggest cause for increasing fuel needs is the rapid rise of car ownership in China, also mostly using inefficient engines so using more fuel per vehicle than in europe.

Isn't underproducing also a way to extend the lifetime of the supply

Yeah true, but if it could arrive here at £270 it could shake things up a bit.
Won't happen, so it's an irrelevance.

Let's get back to the other topic then lol

no... that means were kinda on topic lets move on to the paddington peas... anyone remember them?

Only remember them enough to know they were poddington not paddington...

Well they are all kind of linked Matt

£279 + standard make everything more expensive in the uk fee + VAT + overpriced next day delivery charge = around £599 for us to pay...

not bad...
