In Apple fans besieged by iPhone Trojan and iTunes attack
If I use an iPhone and a Mac, a specially crafted, malicious file can crash quicktime and, er... that's about it?

In Eccentric brain-chip admiral expelled by toff schools
"Parry had previously hinted that a low proportion of state school pupils gaining admission to top universities such as Cambridge was only to be expected, as brainy kids at state schools were held back by bullying from junior chav scum and lacklustre performance on the part of workshy corduroy-clad state sector teachers."

In Google defends open source from 'poisonous people'
This would seem to explain why many open source projects never quite feel finished. There are always a few silly little faults and niggles left un-squashed. Usually it's nothing that actually undermines the functionality, you understand, but it all adds to the impression that the software is only held together by metaphorical bits of chewing gum, sticky-tape and string.

"the EU is a stepping stone towards a world government, they will merge it with the Asia Pacific Union, the African Union and the North American Union", and the treaty will bring "a scientific technocracy to Europe which will erode national sovereignty".
A truly scientific technocracy? Really? No room for Gordon, George, Tony or any of the current politicos with their populist, superstitious nonsense?
Yes, please!

"Colleagues of the duo reckon Apple's antagonistic attitude with security researchers is one of the reasons for its poor response."
