The day that IE died. Internet Explorer officially retired after 27 years. Anyone else nostalgic for Netscape Navigator? https://t.co/EuldHVhWgH

@BeastyqtSC2 If ANC government cannot deliver stable electricity to the country after 26 years in power, they sure can't be expected to organise anything else. 😳

[Tom Jowitt @TJowitt]

@BeastyqtSC2 Very sorry to hear your sad news Beasty. Condolences and best wishes from the UK.

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil Oops yes you are right. Currently awaiting FDA approval

[Tom Jowitt @TJowitt]

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil They are being over cautious in my opinion, which is leading to accusations it is a political manoeuvre to gain time to build up stockpiles and cover for the slow rollout. I think if the WHO says it is OK then that it good enough for me. Astra is still approved by US btw

[Tom Jowitt @TJowitt]

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil America not using astra because they already have at least two other different types to use. SA not using it because it is not effective against SA variant. The WHO says it is mistake to stop using Astrazenica as it is safe

@crfonseca @MistaWet @zacbowden @jaymelbe Agree Microsoft was mostly to blame for the failure of Windows Phone. But lets be honest, Google had nothing to fear from WP back then. And Google was absolutely FURIOUS at Microsoft for its Android lawsuits and even publicly accused Redmond of extortion. https://t.co/0Z0qxbLQEu

@dbfssecret @zacbowden Err Satya was the one who killed Windows Phone. He was never a fan being a cloud man, and his lack of support when CEO is what doomed it. Ballmer made mistakes but he supported WP unlike Nadella

[Tom Jowitt @TJowitt]

@MistaWet @zacbowden @jaymelbe Because Google had not forgiven Microsoft for its Android patent witch hunt. It forced Samsung and others to pay many millions...

To our American cousins. I know the last time we Brits were in Washington DC in 1814, we left a bit of a mess. I have a spare broom if you need help clearing up...😳

HEARTBREAKING: Sharks often have their fins cut off while still alive, then are tossed overboard.

They can no longer swim, so they sink to the bottom of the #ocean and die slowly of suffocation or are eaten by other predators.

#Shark fin soup must be banned. RT if you agree. 💔

@danbarker @gcluley @carolecadwalla Fair enough. Thought he said it was new year
