"Fast" broadband affecting house purchases...WTF?

I know that t'Internet has become a large part of our everyday lives, but this story strikes me as not entirely accurate:
"Brits unlikely to buy homes with slow broadband".

Admittedly I have become very used to my 16Mb/s connection and would probably cry a little if it were to go down to 8Mb/s (God forbid)...but not buying my dream house because the broadband wasn't quite fast enough?? And paying more for a home because it had fast broadband?? I don't think so.

Finally a tablet to look forward to? (That isn't an iPad)

Looks like there's a pretty well specced LG slate on its way:
LG G-Slate

With a good sized screen, 7" is just never enough (as the actress said to the bishop), and the impressive Tegra 2 chip(s) and Android 3.0 I think they could be on to a winner with this one.

The dual camera/3D setup is a gimmick, but as long as they don't start charging a premium because of it then I won't hold it against them.
