Google dumps Aussie Wi-Fi data tracking

Thank goodness

They must have worked hard to identify what part of the software was responsible for maliciously and clandestinely capturing the unencrypted data. Hopefully the system wont again spontaneously write code that can capture such info. BAD CODE, DOWN I SAY

DfT 'unwittingly' bigged-up speed camera benefits

gef05

read the article

This thread has turned into a camera bashing exercise. But the article is clearly about the DfT. In case you just don't get it:

-the DfT lied about the numbers

-cameras and other measures continue to have at least a 20% impact on the fatality numbers

-let me repeat that: the number is in the 20s

Not one of you anti-camera posters have a comment to make about the fact that the true numbers are still impressive. A pity.
