Attention metal thieves: Buy BT, get 75 MILLION miles of copper

Ofcom taxman...

I do believe that BT are not recovering this valuable asset because Ofcom want to slap a penalty tax on any profit realised.

BT quietly recalls shocky adapters

A long time coming and no need for RAPEX?

This problem was perhaps first brought to the attention of BT by this customer:-

Way back in February 8(

Currently a RAPEX report is not needed as the DHP10F devices with the casing fault :-

"

...these particular products have only been supplied to BT

for use in the UK, the recall does not affect Comtrend products supplied

in the EU. There is no requirement for a Rapex notification to be

issued where measures taken relating to the risks cannot go beyond the

UK.

Bounce - certainly... ... ...

If you can find and trace the left 'shot' in the image fragment I found then it looks like more of a pool match, with multiple trails and other 'ball' impacts.

I'm sure they have bounced, dependent on speed and slope of descent, I would imagine.

The ones I saw are north of the one published in the full image visible here:-

just double click on the middle far left of the full image to see the main item and then go 'north' for some others.

Near misses worth a mention?

Google's encrypted search casts shadow on web analytics

The shadow of an arriving invoice...

Of course the detail of what keywords the user used to reach a site are not lost, google has them and I'm sure will be more than willing to start charging webmasters for access to it.

It won't be long before google are adding their own detail to the link to allow tracking and enquiry by webmasters for a *fee*.

Have fun...
