Sophos have a free Mac Anti Virus too. A Mac AV should find the Windows problems too, so it can stop you forwarding them onto colleagues on Windows.

Parts are nice, parts are underwhelming and there will be lawsuits. (There is a Siri copy in there, literally nearly the exact same) Do I want it? Nah. The exterior design is a drawback for me. Without seeing or touching it, my guess is that it is plasticky with a cheap feel, and will look considerably worse after a 2 year contract without a case. But that screen looks sick. Storage options are good, too much processing power - what actually uses that much? Seems that marketing departments need the biggest numbers. -
The win is only recorded during the intermission. The kills are logged against the profile. Since very little communication happens between the teams, the games are very much for personal glory rather than for the greater good. Don't get me wrong, I won't sit back and let the bad guys destroy the HQ, but I won't sacrifice myself to stop them, especially if we have the lead. Winning is still an objective, just not the primary one.

Since kills are the only thing that is recorded/ranked, the flag is still a secondary objective.

Reuters saying 5gb is the plan, up to 100gb on paid plans. Regarding what I said earlier about space, Gmail offers 7gb but nobody uses the full amount. Emails/attachments take up megabytes. After 2 years I have used 200mb in space. They can offer so much because they can afford to offer the space. (You don't get given a 7gb partition which remains mainly blank for the life of your account, your quota is 7gb so you just use Goog's disk space until you reach 7gb of it.) Whereas with a cloud storage drive punters use more space, with their holiday pics and music etc. My dropbox is 65% full - compared to my 1% full Gmail. So if Google were to offer 50gb for free to everyone, the amount of space required for everyone would skyrocket. Probably why MS have just reduced SkyDrive's capacity from 25gb to 7gb (if you are a new SkyDrive user - previous users keep 25gb) with the release of their desktop apps to accomodate the surge in users using more space. Anyway since 20gb of Goog space is $5 a year, if you're really set on giving them the stuff you do offline to add to the stuff you give them when you're online, this will be right up your street.

Despite Stamkos's best efforts, the Lightning didn't make it this year. So I put £10 on St Louis.

The big bad point of LastPass: it uploads your passwords to their website. It also doesn't sort out your memorable questions either does it? That is a much easier way of getting into accounts than through a password.

I'm in favour of a rotation. Same same types, just mix the maps up.

With only 5gb it won't rock many boats - Gmail already offers more. The day after this comes out Dropbox will up their quota (or they will do something) - although 16gb for free is already available. Skydrive really needs the apps to come out for it but then there is 25gb for free across some devices. I've got 50gb with Box.net for free (I don't use it mind, because the web interface is the only way you can get into it). This needs more than just multiplatform and a few gigabytes.

Alfred is the only app I've stuck with. It is a quicklauncher but with a fair few extras which most people probably won't use but saves a bit of time.

Hold on are you saying when it is plugged into the mains, it is still draining the battery? Is it charging at this point or has it charged fully and discharging? That sounds like a more serious issue. The external batteries that used to be available for the Mac are no longer. I can't remember their name but Apple got all mad etc and made them stop. IIRC they claimed magsafe patent. As for taking the battery out I wouldn't... I bet it won't boot. Just sounds like something Apple would do (hardware compatibility etc to limit fake Macs)

Not my highest multikill, not my highest streak.. which isn't very many compared, but this is my highest amount of headshots in one burst.

Internet Explorer and This Website

Depending on your group policy, you may not even be able to run the portable apps. If they stopped you downloading apps, they may stop you running apps which aren't on a whitelist. Worth a try though, IE8 is pants. -
If you do go down Cyanogen route, remember to remove all that off it, and remove the root access if you need to send it off for warranty. Modifying the OS voids warranty, so if you can just put a stock install of your carrier's ROM back on there before sending it off... Sucks you're still on 2.2, it is really borked how you get updates from your carrier, not from Google. It is like getting a Windows Update from Dell after Dell have put some bloat on the update they got from Microsoft. Doesn't seem right does it?
