WTF?

Re: Blinkered politicians...

To be fair, I'm not seeing the point here.....

If BT invest their £600m and actual install rural lines, who are they going to actually get to install the lines? are they not going to instruct OpenReach to dig the holes and run the cables? Thereby gifting OpenReach the network that other operators will be able to then resell OpenReach services as they do now just about everywhere else in the UK?

Or do they think that Virgin is suddenly going to stop going after the easy city business.....

The problem with smartphones

Ever taken a straw pole of users under the age of 25 with iphones, how many have broken screens?

i'll wait while you count.....

if apple want to innovate and make the profits go up, make screens that dont break. The next iphone should have a bullet proof screen which can be driven over, dropped from the top of the empire state building - and damage the pavement below....

now that would see sales go up.

Careless care charity loses unencrypted patient data stick

technology

Christopher Graham, the information commissioner, said: "Carrying people's personal information around on an unencrypted memory stick is clearly unacceptable. The fact that some of the personal details stored on the device were out of date and so surplus to requirements makes this breach all the more concerning.

God help anybody who carries a paper file about in the real world and leaves it on a train. Its about education not technology!
