The hastag is too long
The reporter hasn't bothered to check his facts. No hashtag over 15 characters (I think) is searchable. Go on, try it.

The physical drives are Mr Bates' property.
The data on them was seized by the courts.
Why not just wipe the drives? The police don't even need to see what's on there. Just boot a PC with http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ or similar and run disk shredders on the drives. Then return them.
Hey presto! Bates gets his property back, no one has to see any data.
Or am I missing something?
If businesses weren't trying to reduce wages, why did they all complain so bitterly against the minimum wage? In times of nearly full employment, surely we should have seen Tesco, ASDA, Woolies etc. offering higher and higher wages to their work force. We didn't. Whenever I went in to a packed store with only one till open, I was told that "We can't get the staff." Try paying more than £5.73ph and watch more staff roll up.
One of the reasons that the classical capitalist economy is collapsing is because of the reduction in scarcity. Food and housing are the only things which seem limited in this world. Anything manufactured can be made for pennies in sweatshops in the Far-East, everything else is digital. It doesn't fit in to the capitalist mindset that CTRL-C CTRL+V is the new distribution channel.
This may well be nonsense - I haven't woken up yet...
...if you've got XBMC, you can run this little script
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayer/
It gives a great interface to the iPlayer and allows you to download the iPhone h.264s to view.
The Python script works on just about anything with a net connection and a python installation.
