UK comms intercepts up by half - and it isn't the council

Run for the hills

I am staggered at the powers for abuse of privacy this country has acquired, what a wake up this and similar stories are. I still can't fully comprehend it, like reading it, but not believing it. It is Orwellian by nature - no sh1t. Pinch me. These issues really frighten me, not that I've much to be frightened about, but apart from much else, it seriously makes me worry for our kids, perhaps the time is neigh for running to the hills (of Andalucía, or Catalonia).

Gmail: a short, sharp rant

Free?

Those of you that suggest Gmail is "Free" must place no value on their personal search history; care less; or havn't grasped the idea, that, Nothing in life is "Free"!

It IS a bug, as I use the customised "iGoogle" web page - it doesn't display the mail box availability there either.

Google have scored an own-goal, me thinks.
