Movie..?

So, when can we expect the (stop) motion picture?

"Gullzilla!"

Also, when can we start exporting our local sea gulls to Sellafield?

Google execs protest Italian guilty verdicts

Policing opportunity

Is it just me, or does this seem like a great opportunity for the police to trawl traffic for wanted criminals who (are stupid enough to) carry these RFID IDs (Is that RFID2 then?)? The police wouldn't even need the biometric data, just the unique ID number and the cause for being wanted...

Or for that matter, for society to keep track of ordinary people in a way that would make Orwell cringe?

IT Angle

@dervheid

How's this for an IT angle:

At the time of writing, the entry for Benji Madden states

"Benjamin Levi Madden (born March 11, 1979) is the guitarist and backup vocalist of the band Good Charlotte.

He is GAY!!!!!."

If the article tells the truth (at Wikipedia?!?), the world would be safe...
