Poll result It's official: the term ICT has joined mobe (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/09/mobe_poll_result/) and lappy (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/15/lappy_poll_results/) in the eternal fires of lexicographical hell after 1,396 of you (57 per cent of the vote) demanded (http://forms.theregister.co.uk/poll/?id=11) its immediate consignment to the dustbin of history.

A mere 295 (12 per cent) said nay, while the remaining 31 per cent (772) also called for proscription, while taking the chance to request more top-notch stories on Paris Hilton.

Well, you're in luck. Don't ask us how we did it, but we finally managed to find something on the highly-talented heiress with a legitimate ICT angle - the shock news (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/09/hiltons_mobile_number/) that some poor UCLA student has inherited Hilton's old mobile number.

Regarding ICT, we gather the ruling has caused a bit of a rumpus with El Reg's research boys - whose penchant for a good TLA is witnessed by the fact that they reacted to the news with a flabbergasted WTF? followed by OMG! and an exasperated FMS...

No matter, because the people - who evidently prefer no C in their IT - have spoken. ®
