Bringing cakes into the office is killing your colleagues, says UK food watchdog boss

hatti

Very sensible indeed

I thinks it's a very sensible idea to ban cake from the workplace, it's very important to maintain a clean working environment especially with IT gagdets and gizmos and I suspect the same applies to scientific laboratory settings where cleanliness will impact the outcome of experimentation.

Selected savoury products

If anyone can explain why Jupiter's Great Red Spot is spinning faster and shrinking, please speak up

Ice Cream tub

I didn't realise Lego curator was an actual job, I thought it was just like playing with Lego but not actually sticking the bricks together, it's amazing what you learn on el Reg. I hope they used upcycled ice cream tubs for the sorting as per regulation Lego play.

The UK's Civil Aviation Authority asked drone orgs to email fliers' data in an Excel spreadsheet

hatti

Confused

But I thought Sophie O'Sullivan was head of marketing though, I could be wrong.

Perhaps the excel spreadsheet would get heavier when all the data is added, either way it'll never fly.

No m'lud, I wasn't watching pron, I was training my AI system.

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

What simultaneously sucks and doesn't? This new robot vacuum cleaner

hatti

Good but...

Auto hoovers give me cause for concern, a meat based operative has the faculty to determine whether an object is to be sucked up or not. That all important missing pc screw or ear ring is cause to turn off suction mode temporarily to retrieve the errant item.

I'm fearful that although these are keenly priced, they could lead to the cats disappearance with that much suction.

Japanese hotel chain sorry that hackers may have watched guests through bedside robots

Back to drawing board as Google cans AI ethics council amid complaints over right-wing member

Bad toothy peg

Perhaps leaking national security information was not such a great idea after all. Methinks the UK gov are trying the softly, softly catchee Jules rendition approach.
