UK.gov: 'Foreign cyber reconnaissance' underway in UK
Hold the front page for ETERNITY: Murdoch kills The Daily
Let me google-translate for you
"From its launch, The Daily was a bold experiment in digital publishing and an amazing vehicle for innovation. Unfortunately, our experience was that we could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term."
Pronounced:-
"It was shite."
New laws to shackle and fine the Press? We've got PLENTY already
Poor article
There is a massive difference between applying statutes like the Data Protection Act 1998 which contains wholly objective tests applicable to all, and, the giving of power to government to appoint senior members of a new regulator who's job it will be to determine whether the press have satisfied their own tests of 'fit and proper' content and behavious. This is as subjective as it gets, and you CANNOT have that level of proximity between government and the ethical measurement of the press.
Google, Apple, eBay shouldn't pay taxes - people should pay taxes
Misguided article
Let's hope not all companies in the UK take advantage of this 'moral' tax arrangement, in the same way as eBay and Starbucks et al.
Because then, everyone will have an extra few pounds in their pocket and coffee will be cheaper, but we'll just about bankrupt the country and leave ourselves defenseless too.
Moron.

Hackers crack Texan bank, Experian credit records come flooding out
Credit reference agencies have had their day.
Much more than half of the country has had bad credit since the crash, and the other half don't need further credit. When (and if) the banks ever start lending again, they'll have to think up of different ways of measuring future risk, as our credit histories paints more of a picture of the state of the country, than it does about our individual worthiness for credit in the future.

The idea that something is grossly offensive because someone else says so is not consistent with culture built on free speech (or the illusion thereof).
Let society deal with this guy as they will. I'd be the first in line, but find him guilty of a crime, I don't think so.
In fact, it grossly offends me.
Huawei says US probe had 'predetermined outcome'
Hypocrisy of the highest order
So, the US have concluded that the divide between coporation and state in China is too grey, and that this causes privacy and security concerns when doing business with tech companies.
Bahahahahaha.
*ahem* Google *ahem* Microsoft....
Seriously, the US' blatant and ignorant disregard for evenly applied standards is becoming uncomfortably embarassing given our 'close' relationship.
The mask has now totally slipped, and their grip on things is following. Not belong before Eastern economies dwarf that of the west so they better get used to having their behaviour in the past 20 years thrown back in their face.

Ok so...
"However it seems only less significant systems were targeted by an assault that was, in any case, ultimately unsuccessful"
... someone trys to attack a system much less important and secure than the ones at the heart of this article, and completely failed in doing so.
It has a hint of Oriental vs. The World in thermonuclear cyber-handbags, and so this is now news-worthy as a result?

Curiosity photographs evidence of ancient streams on Mars
Interesting
Lots of unanswered questions though. I thought the pressure of the atmosphere basically meant that water couldn't exist on Mars for more than a few seconds. How has this fairly fundamental variable changed so that it was once possible to have streams of flowing water?
Anyone able to shed some light?
