This caught my eye, especially since my 2 year old has been playing with my iPad for the last 6 months.

1-Year-Old Plays With Magazine Like It's an iPad [VIDEO]

It shows how quickly our world is evolving

"So rather than be amazed at all the things an iPad can do, this child is confounded by what a paper magazine cannot do..."

Ah ha! I knew the name was familiar Yup Jonathon put on a good show.

lol, you wouldn't happen to be an ex IBMer? Have plenty of similar stories, seems the bigger the company, the more likely the backup system or disaster recovery plan will never work as planned.

Better off having a low tech back up solution, a USB hard drive stuck into Bobs laptop. Then accept a couple of days customer outage time, while you restore.

But from the millions they will save from not having an overly complicated and expensive backup system that you know wont work anyway, just send all your customers a sorry we screwed up card with a McDonalds or itunes voucher

and Fridays award goes to....

Glad to have you aboard Mike, seen you around various other places. Looks like you've tuned straight into our mentality

Although British humor doesn't translate quite so well

In the ongoing murky world of cybercrime, the next thing you need to watch out for are bogus directory renewals.

Most businesses sign up with multiple business directories, and a lot of businesses will forget who they have signed up with, which makes this scam even more plausible.

Recent versions of this scam are calls from "The UK Business Directory", asking you to renew your advertising via credit card. There is a reputable directory of the same name that has put up an advisory notice.

Today we have had one of our customers being asked to renew, with a scumbag claiming to represent us

Luckily, the business in question was switched on, as she had taken out a Lifetime Listing with us, which doesn't need to be renewed, so was immediately suspicious.

If anyone else is approached, please let me know, and if you can grab any contact details or information, the Police would love to have them, as this is 100% illegal cyber crime.

It seems numerous directories are being targeted, so be aware. If you have an annual subscription with a directory, make sure they are who they say they are before handing over any money! Quickest way to check is to ask for the website address, and then telephone the number on the actual website.

If you don't recognize the website, or have no previous invoices then run away.

If you do fall prey to this type of scam, contact your credit company immediately and report a fraudulent transaction.

I'm all for a Friday joke, bring it on

lol, at least the true colours shone through! Although for the sake of legal reasons, I removed the end of your sentence

You know I don't understand big words

Just saw what time you posted, 04.27! Did they lock you in the court room?

Just to even up the balance, my iPhone is currently about as much good as a chocolate teapot

The service provider we use (Vodaphone) seemed to have disappeared from my town...

Reception has gone very bad to worse, to now non existent Missus has had enough and now changed provider, trouble is I'm locked into a 2 year business contract

Still the actual iPhone is great

It looks like the age old message of leading by example has sunk in with the Google top brass, after recent criticism that they didn't have +1 accounts
