Matt Smith as a huge mountain to climb, the makers of Doctor Who should not have made sign a five year contract before he's even done one episode. I personally think he'll be one of the worst yet, the details we've had on what his persona will be like made him sound like he'll be like the 6th Doctor, oh joy.

Haven't the producers said multiple times they would never have a female doctor because it was specificially mentioned in the older series that there couldn't be one?

And Catherine Tate as the 1st female doctor? Ehhhh, no. Honestly I'm shocked more people liked Donna than Martha (K9 was more popular!).

And man, do I remember Tom Baker's Doctor. That darn scarf! I'll always remember his regeneration into Peter Davison (which is David Tennant's first memory of DW also yay).

I liked Donna better than Rose and Martha. Donna could be annoying at times but she brought out the best in the Doctor. She wasn't in love with him and she wasn't in awe of him. She knew exactly when he was going too far and she reined him in. Donna and Wilf seem to be able to bring him out of that shell he has surrounded himself with since coming through the Time War. He would actually talk with them.

I agree as well. But from what I remember people posting on here, it was just kinda odd the British public at large liked Donna more than Martha - considering many people on Neowin hated Donna when she took over lol

I was always a Donna fan :p

Catherine Tate was part Time Lord, kind of breaks the rules really.

No, there can be female Time Lords, but not a female Doctor. I don't remember the exact reasoning that was given many years ago but it was more than likely just as simple as he was born a man and can only regenerat into other men lol not a woman.

This. Every episodes that involved the Daleks, thus far, were quite epic, that had me on the edge of the seat. I'd definitely want to see more of the Daleks.

Personally, I think the show would do well to avoid Daleks for a while. They're being used way too much and their last 2 story arcs were absolutely terrible. Same goes for the Cybermen.

Having seen the trailer for the next series, the Daleks are definitely back, so I hope they at least put away the Cybermen. I'm sure Moffat can come up with some really great villains.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
