When simple objects are forced to protest their innocence you know the terrorists are having a laugh at our expense. With a relatively small number of actual assaults (and the threat of many) they’ve managed to make us (and, of course, the people in charge of policing the streets) indecently afraid rather than indecently indignant [...]
Let’s be honest, fingerprint scanning was cool a decade ago, but now when you can buy a cheap mouse with a biometric strip for your favourite digits in its back you know a technology has lost all of its kudos points.

It looks like while you can download the beta of Apple’s Safari 3 browser for Windows, you probably shouldn’t. Security experts have been busily testing the software - hailed as twice as fast as IE7 - and found a number of instabilities and, more worryingly, exploit vulnerabilities that could see websites run multiple commands on [...]
Honestly, the things they make to plug into a USB port these days. It used to be that if you wanted enterprise-level security then, well, you’d probably need to be an enterprise with the budget to go with it; otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford the chunky server that would scan all incoming and [...]
