GATTACA

Wasn't there a scene is Gattaca where the hero's DNA was suripticously taken from his keyboard by his corporation for testing? It looks like science fact has caught up with science fiction.

Women love chocolate more than password security

A Richard Madley icon for the reporter

As pointed out by many others, this survey shows that women are four times as clever. Can we have a Richard Madley or Peter Andre icon to complement the Paris Hilton icon?

Wicker Man sequel goes up in smoke

It should be made

The Nicolas Cage version was dreadful and although the planned official sequal would not be a patch on the original, I believe it would have been a worthwhile film to make and would donate a small amount to have it made.

Cyberstalker to spend six months in jail

Lock up the Real Criminals

Remember the old addage sticks and stones.

No threat was made (as far as I am aware) so this case should have thrown out.

Instead real yobs are being thrown out of jail early to make space for her.

Bletchley Park the Mecca for the IT industry

Anyone involved with IT and even those who are not should pay a pilgramage to Bletchley Park. The work of Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers and the rest of the experts should be celebrated more regularly as these people were heros. At Blecthley Park the first Electronic programmable computer was built. A recreation of it has been built there now, which is an awe inspiring sight.
