That’s the conclusion I came to, after finding an article on silicon.com. In an interview with Detective superintendent Charlie McMurdie, the police force in the UK are looking to create some kind of magical device that can be used like a "computer breathalyser." The device would look on somebody’s PC for any illegal activity, such [...]
Rather than sort out their own house, Microsoft in typical and historical style, have decided to explain why their take on "Web Standards" is correct and everyone else should listen and understand their point of view.. Written by Molly Holzschlag using Microsoft’s new apparently open source (with bitter after taste) Oxite, Microsoft’s new blogging platform [...]
£1 Billion has already been ploughed into a monitoring system in the UK that could make every user of technology in the country a target for Big Brother. The system, based in a building in Benhall, and reported by TechSnake in July, is being funded to intercept all email, SMS and internet traffic to the [...]
I don’t know if you’ve ever owned any EA games, and I don’t know if you’ve ever needed their support with them – but trust me, don’t bother because you are going to get nowhere fast with the support team. I have been a long time owner of EA Sports and Electronic Arts games generally [...]

You all know the story right? Ian Usher has put his life up for sale on the internet, with the aid of Ebay. By his life I mean his home, his job, his friends, his car – everything except himself. Interesting, quirky, but why did he trust the users of Ebay to “play fair?” Just [...]
Don’t worry – the Mission Impossible link is completely warranted here, as this idea was launched with Mission Impossible 3 in Japan last year. So the idea is Flexplay made a DVD with a certain air-reactive chemical on the surface, that when opened from it’s air-tight packaging makes the DVD useless in 48 hours. So [...]
If you’re not familiar with the term “wall walker”, I think you’ve probably seen the thing I mean: They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, an octopus, spiders, a man & even cars. They have a sticky underside and they slowly make their way down to the bottom of a door or wall. [...]
