Must be Friday
Where's my popcorn? This'll make for an amusing weekend.
A new activist group is drumming up recruits for a cyberwar campaign against corporate giants due to launch on Friday, 25 May. TheWikiBoat intends to hit a high profile list of more than 40 multinationals - including BT, Best Buy, Tesco, McDonald's, Wal-Mart and Apple - with denial of service attacks as well as attempts to …

Note for non UKers: The John Lewis Partnership are really rather posh shops and supermarkets, that are frequented predominantly by the middle classes. The Partnership is wholly owned by the workers. Staff at John Lewis get fantastic benefits, bonuses based on the company's profits and even sabbaticals for long service. Staff there tend to be very happy at their work. When I go through the till at a Waitrose (JLP's supermarket) and they say "Have a nice weekend", I don't mentally insert the words "it says here."
John Lewis is not MacDonald's.
