I use KeePass

You have 1 master password and optionally a key file and it opens up a wee database of passwords. It even does auto type and stuff which is simple but nice.

Not sure how secure it really is but it beats having 1 login for everywhere... probably. It is annoying to have 1 database file at work and 1 at home though.

Premium-rate SMS

Are Premium-rate SMS used for anything except scamming? Surely we can find an alternative tech for the 1% of legitimate users and just do away with this 'service'.

I'd settle for an option on my OS to disable sending Premium-rate SMSs.

Mind Candy

Not sinister at all.

ICO not Europe

Where does this money go to? according to the ICO website it is a UK agency i.e. not Brussels banksters.

Title

How long did the title take to come up with, be honest?

Hmn

conducted by the Internet Advertising Bureau UK (IAB) and ValueClick, the online advertising network.

I see no conflict of interests, this could very well be the most impartial study ever conducted.

Infrastructure

Well at least it's an investment that's actually producing something rather than banking/stock markets/IP.

CO2 is a technological problem

and requires a technological solution. End of Line.

Kickstarter > Hypercorp Producers

But how reliable will it turn out to be.

CEO

CEO lies, what a world first!

This is not science

It's Science!

And thus, I approve.

Rapture

That is all

SnapGuide: How to obtain a good trade in price when upgrading to Android

Ingredients:

1. A warm smile

2. One or more 'wodges' of cash (1 wodge = 3 bundles)

3. At least 2 scraps of intelligence

Instructions:

Approach mobile telephone retailer. Apply ingredients 1 and 2 in sequential order. Speak the phrase "Hi, I would like to trade in this iPhone for an Android phone. I have money". Wait for the retailer to remove your shackles.

The new button lets you register to become an organ donor straight from the Facebook

I suspect it lets you join the organ donor register which is different from agreeing to a living donation. Either way some clarification in the article would be appreciated as the two are very different.

Estimates

So the rate they paid is either an overestimate (25%) of which some goes to other countries or could be refunded or it's an underestimate of 9.8% of which some additional profits tax has to be paid later.

I think the worrying thing we can all take away is that nobody (including the government presumably) actually knows how much taxes they actually paid in taxes. Yay for bureaucracy.

Hes lucky he wasn't extradited

I hear the Americans do that.

legal/bureaucratic sounds perfect

Patent trolling is solidly based in the legal/bureaucratic paradigm.

Foxconn

Why don't they just sell 5% of their product out the back door?

Oh wait, I'm sure the lawyers are dead against that, what with it getting in the way of exploitation and all that.

Moar Databases!!!!

Government requires more databases because databases make you safer! Our statistics teams have drawn a graph that shows a direct inverse correlation between number of databases and violent crimes committed annually.

Must be a paper

You can tell because of the large equations.

I wish someone would write a program that turned all the sigmas into for loops and all the brackets into += / -= / /= / *=. While their at it they could come up with a seed AI with the goal of making all variable names sensible and at least 9 characters long.

"Ultimately, everything happens through your eyes, and the closer we can bring it..."

Are you high? light travels at the speed of light, there's nothing faster. Except maybe light that rolled a critical on its sprint test.

It doesn't matter how far away the thing your seeing is. I wouldn't care if the device projected the overlay onto things around me instead of glasses or wrote it's messages on the clouds.

Also according Colin Baden nothing ever happens to blind people. I think he did one too many lines at the last marketing meeting.

Artist's impression

Artist brings own massive spotlight?

I'm pretty sure rogue planets are black, because they are light years away from any stars.

Disclaimer: Not an astro-boffin

Maybe?

We don’t need a lot of people who know a bit about chemistry, but a few people who are extremely good at actually doing chemistry well. The better the elite are, the more productive and innovative our pharmaceutical companies, and therefore the more our economy will benefit.

So people who will become members of this chemical engineering elite do not require a compulsory Noddy-level introduction to acids vs alkali. Economically, teaching everybody “a bit” of chemistry is a waste of time. We’d be better off stimulating and challenging the young bright chemical engineering aspirants identified as such in schools.

Dead Horses

I think if animals are dying every time you do a sport, you aught to look into changing it. There's a reason we don't have dog/cock fighting any more.

Queued

Submitted my awesome code an hour and a half ago and still queued for testing :(. Do they mark these things manually or what?!

Proceeds from the sale of .london domain ... fund the international promotion of the capital.

What does this even mean? That they are going to spend the money on PR for London? that seems unlikely.

Fail

So the banks can now sell worthless stocks in unaudited companies that might very well exist only on paper.

Still at least we can fine them for fraud when they do it then give them so additional bailout money so they can afford to pay the fine.

"The BBC is obliged by its charter to be impartial"

That would be why there's a news article about Dr Who every 3 days?

Bureaucracy

The grit in the cogs of humanity since time immemorial

it's too early to say how much enforcement is helping artists and investors in creativity.

What does copyright enforcement have to do with artists?
