New UK network touts FREE* mobile broadband

Not the only game in town.

I've been using Ovivomobile for the past 3 weeks, Again totally free but with 200 mins each month and 512mb data pushed at you at set intervals.

I really don't understand how either business model will last but of the two Ovivio is better IMHO.

YouView launches with pricey premium DVR

A disgruntaled customer.

Looks like someone is not happy with their box / service even asked Lord Sugar to take it back!

GiffGaff in data spaff, goodybag gaffe: ICO says its 'avin a laff

Actually I read the Act of parliament.

"Some of you mentioned that we’re not registered with the ICO, it is not a legal requirement to register with the ICO."

Its actually a criminal offence not to register with the Information Commisoneer.

I am amazed giffgaff got away with it for so long.

Telegraph to charge for online news

Readership

Well that one way to cut the readership.

Does anyone really want to embed dedupe code?

Old Tech Rebadged

Dedupe disk compression what ever you want to call it is old school.

Back in the day MS DOS had Drivespace and Novell had stacker.

All compression can ever be is replacing a common string with a marker to an index of common strings.

Fix finalized for SSL protocol hole

Doesn't stop SSLstrip

Still running SSLstrip on my demo man in the middle box and those cleartext passwords such as twitter / gmail and facebook etc just keep on appearing in the log.

McKinnon loses judicial review

Private Prosecution

No need for expensive lawyers and lengthy appeals.

Its the right of any individual to do this and would mean he would be tried or acquitted here in the UK.

Paris - Because she would make a lovely McKenzie Friend to assist him.
