Didn’t know this…
“Fon has to provide special VPN tunneling technology in the UK for the UK secret services to investigate suspected criminals and terrorists when they log on to our WiFi signal.”
Why are European governments able to do more for less when it comes to National Security?
And to be honest I’m not too comfortable now that I know that it exists. Are all Fon’s the same? Or is this just included in boxes sent to the UK?
Tell us more… please!
“But Europeans are divided by language, culture, even food. They tend to be reluctant to move even within nations: Francophone and German-speaking Switzerland are segmented labor markets. So how can the euro work?”
Will the Polish plumber save the euro? – Paul Krugman – Op-Ed Columnist – New York Times Blog
He needs to get out more! In my office half the people I work with are migrants of one sort or another; the Euro where people didn’t move because of the food died about 20 years ago.

An interesting point and I’d love to see it happen. Why won’t it?
…because he’d probably get Hillary through the popular vote! She is the only candidate for VP with structure in place to get the vote out.
…someone copies your tool.
Look around by Google
And they managed to do this without breaching a patent?
A couple of months ago I put Mozy on the iMac at home.
For those that don’t know what Mozy is; you need to learn today. Most of us backup our data, we’ve already had the sinking feeling of a hard drive failure and now backup to an external drive. However, what happens when the house burns down?
Generally people think that this is a stupid point; however, I remember talking to a friend who lost her house when a Christmas tree caught file. Years later, the thing that she still missed…. her photos! Our photos are now digital and therefore can be saved, if they’re backed up to a second location. Mozy offers that second location in Utah, USA!
Before going further, you have to pay for Mozy but at $5 a month for unlimited storage (more on that later) it’s a bargain.
Initially it was the beta software and basically didn’t work. It was slow, I had trouble selecting what to backup without the software crashing and just to add to the pain there was a performance difference on the machine. I was about to ask for a refund when the v1.0 was launched.
This solved the majority of issues (although the initial scan for files is slow) and I’m now the proud owner of 50 Gb of data on the other side of the world. Peace of mind at last.
One final point, the space is unlimited but there are limits on how much you can upload every day. Therefore, backing up you’re complete DVD collection will be difficult.
All in all! Well worth a Starbucks a month.
“Two nurseries in Kent, England are fingerprinting parents as they drop off and pick up kids “for safety.”
English nurseries fingerprinting parents “for security” – Boing Boing
You have to ask the question. Why can’t they just remember the faces of the parents? How many kids are there in this place? Hardly sounds like a personalized service for your child; do they have to wear name tags?
“An absolutely superb customer experience and once again gives a lot of weight to what Jobs says: when you control the hardware and the software (and, it turns out, the point of sale) then the integrated experience you can give to the consumer is nothing short of superb. I bet there is not a single phone on the market made by anyone else that could reproduce this experience.”
What this actually shows is how bad most customer experiences are. You spend tens of thousands of Euros on a car and you can’t get service like this!
I maybe odd but hasn’t he just shot himself and his profession here?Every article has to have a single point of view, and in this case it has to fit with the general preconception of the subject! He can’t find”news” as defined as something, he has to print a confirmation of what we already know.And the point of the press is?
“One of the good things about blogs is that they allow you to add nuance. In the news business, there is little space to tell a story. To earn the limited slot you usually have to stick with one angle. That’s a preface for expanding a little on the article we wrote in the newspaper today on France’s embrace of New World methods for selling its wine.The story fits into the classic category of “French tradition surrenders to superior Anglo-Saxon forces”. The enlightened reader smiles at another Gallic retreat in the face of globalisation but feels a twinge of regret that obstinate French excellence is again compromising with the modern world.The reality is a little more complicated.”Charles Bremner – Times Online – WBLG: France fights back with better wine
Yes, of course it matters but…
What amazes me is how good the interfaces looks compared to Office; this is an online app and it looks lovely to my offline application. I’m used to the online applications looking like Google Docs; basic, blue and boring. This is something very different and, in fact, so good that I’m itching to use it but I don’t want to go through the transition process.
