Japanese 3D-Printed Gun Maker Is Sentenced To Two Years In Jail
Yoshitomo Imura, an employee at the Shonan Institute of Technology in Japan, was arrested last may for printing and firing a 3D-printed gun called the ZigZag. He printed three guns in total and was arrested for running afoul of Japan's strict gun laws. The prosecutors warned that Imura's actions were a threat and felt he was "flaunting" his skill. They… Read More
Zap Puts Ads On Top Of Taxi Cabs As They Scoot Around Town
Unlike startups Zoom, Pow, Zing, and Schwongooza, Turkish startup Zap is trying to disrupt the on-taxi advertising market. By placing bright LED signs on the top of standard cabs, the company aims to turn dead space into a lucrative advertising spot for drivers and fleets. Founded by Yigit Kipman, Ahmet Bati and Emrecan Bati, the company has received a $100,000 grant to expand through Europe… Read More
Skin Buttons Are Working Buttons Projected Onto The Skin
The folks at Carnegie Mellon's Future Interfaces Group have made something really cool. Essentially, they are using small lasers to paint icons onto your skin through the bottom of a watch. The icons are touch sensitive and can be projected in any shape. The team consists Gierad Laput, Robert Xiao, Xiang Chen, Scott E. Hudson, and Chris Harrison, researchers at CMU's… Read More
The Super-Slim Kindle Voyage Is A Great Travel Companion
In 1935, Sir Allen Lane and V. K. Krishna Menon founded Penguin Books, a company dedicated to producing high-quality, small-format paperback books for the world market. These small, well-made little books introduced some amazing fiction, philosophy, classical thought and spiritualism to a hungry audience, and the low price made it easy to build a library of amazing titles that could fit into… Read More
#GamerGate Is The Future Of Troll Politics
I've refrained from talking about GamerGate because the entire thing has been so baffling. The hysteria and name-calling seemed counter-productive and, as a veteran of many flame wars (see BlackBerry, Notion Ink, and Palm) I saw all the signs of a tempest in a teapot that was run through forums and IRC channels and dedicated to putting down dissenting views in favor of… Read More
Autonomous Boats Are Helping The Navy Swarm On Threats
I rarely like to focus on military robots but this video is fascinating. It talks about the SWARM program, a system for controlling multiple boats in a body of water and ensuring they don't crash into each other and can easily swarm on another ship as needed. These boats, which are connected via software called Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing, can be armed but… Read More
Bag Week: Daame Bags
While I can't say that Daame Bags are the best daame bags we've tested (see what I did there?), I can say that they are definitely an interesting rethinking of the women's laptop bag. We tested two types – a wide leather laptop tote and other 13-inch model. I showed both of these to a human woman, my wife, who said that she liked the elegant and spare design but noted… Read More
Watch These Tiny Robots As They Fly Well With Others
The quadccopters at the University of Pennsylvania GRASP Lab are truly trained to follow the golden robot rule: fly with others as you'd fly with yourself. Thanks to researchers Yash Mulgaonkar, Gareth Cross and Vijay Kumar, we can see how close these little flying robots are to their noble goal. Read More
Bag Week: The Nomadic WT-18 Wise-Walker Toto
Can true bag pleasure be had for $81? I think so. I've fallen in love with Nomadic brand bags over the years and I would like to tell you about the Nomadic WT-18 Wise Walker Toto, a Japanese bag sold by JetPens that is just about amazing. I've used many Nomadic bags over the years and this is the second time I've featured Nomadic in bag week. This bag I actually received as… Read More
The Zortrax M200 Is The Underdog 3D Printer That Could Make It To The Big Leagues
We've been following Zortrax for years. This small Polish upstart gathered some interesting PR when they first launched and they've built a few solid 3D printers after creating a burgeoning 3D printer part business in Central Europe. Now, however, it seems they're all grown up. Basics Prints in ABS 7.87 x 7.87 x 7.28 " build area Includes software Wi-Fi… Read More

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Is A Nearly Perfect Mini Tablet
Like the great zeppelins of old, nobody expected the Galaxy Note to fly. The phones were too big, the embedded stylus too silly. I reminded us all of the bad old days when PIMs were black and white and bulky. But Samsung persevered and Apple followed suit and now we enter the era of the phablet, a time of strange portents and weird UIs. A time where a phone that makes all other phones seem… Read More
Welcome To Bag Week 2014
It has been a tradition at TechCrunch to dedicate an entire week (or, in this case, a truncated week) to bags. Big bags. Small bags. Little bags. Tall bags. All bags, (almost) all the time.

The Sonos Boost Expands Your Musical Reach
Wireless music player maker, Sonos, has released the Boost, an add-on to their system that allows Sonos devices to work up to 50% further than the standard Wi-Fi range – 90 feet as compared to about 60 feet for the average Wi-Fi hotspot. The Boost device also improves signal intensity and, more important, creates a dedicated network for Sonos devices, protecting from the vagaries of… Read More
The Pi-Top, A Raspberry Pi-Powered Laptop, Is Hitting The Crowdfunding Trail
Yee-haw! Saddle up and roll 'em out because the Pi-Top Raspberry Pi laptop is ready to ride! We last met this laptop when it was still a gleam in a group of students' eye. Now it's a fully operational crowdfunding project and they're looking for $80,000 to begin shipping the devices. The kit itself costs $249 with a motherboard or $200 without. You can also simply… Read More
Bitcoin Breaks $400
Bitcoin is currently hovering at around $400 on Bitstamp, a rise of over $100 since last week's doldrums. While there doesn't seem to be a direct reason for the rise, BTC fans are pointing to the documentary called The Rise And Rise of Bitcoin as improving general sentiment. Public sentiment is one reason to invest in bitcoin but I doubt it's the only one. The market is… Read More

Shave Like The Ancients Did With The Beluga Razor
As you prepare to apply your Barbasol and your hair pomade while whistling a bit of Benny Goodman, what razor to do you reach for? Do you grab a seven-bladed monstrosity, cast in bright orange plastic and chrome and made to last three shaves? No. You reach for a single blade beauty, a razor that can shave four star generals and the common Joe with equal aplomb. You're going to reach for… Read More
Monsieur, The Drink Robot, Raises $2 Million
A robotic bartender named Monsieur and his human partners have raised $2 million in seed investment from BIP Capital with Base Ventures, Paul Judge, TechSquare Labs, NFL star Derrick Morgan, and NBA star Glen Davis. The funding will go towards building more Monsieur drink robots for bars, restaurants, and my bedroom. Read More
Get Your Gearbox Out Of The Rear With Efneo
We don't usually put mechanical bike stuff up here, but I suspect many bike lovers will consider Efneo the Yo or Clinkle of bike improvements. It's a front gearing system that has one gear and three internal switches. The gearing changes just like a regular front derailleur system but it uses a planetary gearing system to handle the changes. Why is this important? First it's… Read More

Marvel has officially announced their Phase 3 Cinematic Universe .
Let's take a look at what collected editions, trade paperbacks and hardcover books we may be getting:
Captain America: Civil War May 6, 2016
No doubt a new edition of Civil War, but more specifically a Civll War Omnibus and Civil War Companion Omnibus.
Doctor Strange – November 4th, 2016
Finally a complete Steve Ditko Doctor Strange Omnibus. Ditko was on the series from Strange Tales #110 (July 1963) – Strange Tales #146 (July 1966). This omnibus will include much more than just those issues; probably up to Doctor Strange #179 (the series became slef titled with issue #169.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – May 5, 2017
Marvel is already releasing softcover trades of the original and 1990's GotG, but it would be nice to have a nice Omnibus of both series. Or at least Premiere Hardcovers. And please reprint Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest.
Thor: Ragnarok – July 28, 2017
Hard to say exactly what we'll be getting here, but it better be the Walt Simonson arc that introduces Beta Ray Bill from The Mighty Thor #337-340. No matter what, the more Thor, the better.
Black Panther – November 3, 2017
No doubt an Omnibus of a complete run of Kirby's Black Panther, which would be a hardcover of The Essential Black Panther collecting Jungle Action #6-22, 24 and Black Panther #1-12. FYI, the Essential did not collect #11-12.
Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 on May 4, 2018 and Avengers Infinity War Part 2 – May 3, 2019
By this point I expect Omnibus' and epic collections of al things Infinity. We already have Infinity Gauntlet so it's time for Infinity War and Infinity Crusade hardcovers.
Captain Marvel – July 6, 3018
Since this is the Carol Danvers movie, it's likely we'll get a hardcover of the Essential, collecting Ms. Marvel #1-23 and Marvel Super-heroes Magazine #10-11.
Inhumans – November 2, 2018
Inhumans Omnibus? Yes please! This will collect their first appearances in Fantastic Four and material from the two Masterworks: Thor #146–152; Amazing Adventures #1–10; Avengers #95; Marvel Super-Heroes #15, Inhumans #1–12; Captain Marvel #52–53; Fantastic Four Annual #12; Marvel Fanfare #14; What If?#29–30; Thor Annual #12.

Master cosmetologist and salon owner Manisha Mehta takes pride in delivering a sweeping range of beauty and grooming services infused with luxurious touches. Full-length facials incorporate rich ingredients such as 24-karat gold or chocolate, and facial peels immerse visages in fruit and vegetable medleys without the need for surreptitious head dunks into a punch bowl. Issuing from Mehta's fervent interest in the healing and restorative powers of herbs, most full facials are accompanied by a custom aromatherapy blend. Alongside eyelash extensions and waxing are ancient Eastern grooming services, such as eyebrow threading, ear candling, mummification, and henna designs for hands and feet. Dark wood and leather furnishings, deep-maroon walls, and gilt-framed mirrors and paintings lend the space a feeling of an urban retreat.
Helmed by an associate educator for Paul Mitchell, the Paul Mitchell-trained stylists at Mopp Hair Day Spa blend their keen eye for style with Paul Mitchell products to beautify clients. Before trimming hair, shampoo consultants lead clients to the spa's lather lounge, where they soothe scalps with massages and revitalize hair with shampoos formulated for each client's specific hair type. Before the final whisper of the blow dryer reveals their polished new 'do, clients can keep their excitement in check by admiring the salon's modern decor, which includes a waiting room filled with tufted leather benches, as well as chairs that were born as brunettes but now bear trendy zebra-stripes instead.
After falling hairstyle over heels for the beauty industry more than 10 years ago, C Shore Hair Shop's owner jumped right into the business by obtaining her stylist credentials as well as managing two salons in the Fayetteville area. Her passion led her to open C Shore Hair Shop, a tranquil hair haven where she transforms 'dos with GKhair smoothing treatments, razor haircutting techniques, and advanced coloring services. To further beautification, she can also refresh visages with waxing services or doll them up with a tailored makeup application.
The stylists at Shearnanigans Salon have extensive training, but they prefer to let it show subtly by giving each client an easy-to-manage hairstyle. They strategically cut and style locks, and an on-staff color specialist can add pops of accentuating color or change hues completely, which is also the extent to which coloring a lion?s mane pink changes how intimidating it is. The team?s extensive list of services also includes texturizing, braids, dreadlocks, extensions, and weaves.
Natural hair finds its perfect style at Lavish Hair Spa, which twists strands into zulu knots, coils, or straightens them with a ceramic fusion silk press. At this Paul Mitchell Signature Salon, stylists keep hair hydrated and healthy with newfound color and sheen with products from Paul Mitchell to Kera Care Naturals to Design Essentials Naturals and Jane Carter Solutions to Miss Jessie's. Stylists also use house-brand straightener Silk Out, which is composed of organic ingredients. At its Browz Waxing Bar station, the salon also removes unwanted hair from eyebrows, underarms, and legs.
Hair either makes a statement or it goes unnoticed—the stylists at Shenae Paris Salon use their skills to make sure the latter never happens. Led by master stylist and salon owner Natasha McCain, the staff specializes in more than just eye-catching cuts. They deep condition and relax strands, create intricate braids, lengthen locks with extensions, and add body with roller sets.

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/17/12 -- VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, today announced another example of the adoption of network virtualization in the market. iland, a global cloud infrastructure provider and the VMware Service Provider Partner of the Year Global 2012, has taken advantage of VMware network virtualization to reduce operational costs and increase service velocity.
"As we explored building and delivering new, value-added cloud services, we realized the tremendous flexibility, operational efficiency and time-to-market benefits to be gained through network virtualization," said Justin Giardina, CTO of iland Internet Solutions. "Just as server virtualization changed the way we delivered compute resources, network virtualization has transformed the way we deliver network services by removing the challenges we faced when bound to the physical network."
Network virtualization addresses one of the final barriers to achieving the agility of cloud computing -- the network -- by enabling the dynamic creation of virtual networks that are completely decoupled and independent from the physical network hardware. Much like server virtualization decouples virtual machines (VMs) from the underlying x86 server hardware to transform the operational model of compute, network virtualization decouples software-based virtual networks from the underlying network hardware to enable a new operational model for networking. Deployed non-disruptively on any existing network without change, network virtualization transforms the physical network into a pool of capacity that can be consumed and repurposed on demand.
"iland is at the forefront of our customers' transformation to software-defined datacenters," said Hatem Naguib, vice president, Cloud Networking and Security, VMware. "iland demonstrates that clouds built to leverage the operational model of virtualization across all datacenter assets -- compute, storage and network -- can deliver agility and operational efficiency not previously possible."
VMware network virtualization solutions include the VMware vCloud® Suite, which incorporates VMware's leading virtualization, cloud infrastructure and management portfolio into a single SKU, and the Nicira Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) which delivers network virtualization in multi-hypervisor environments. Both are key components of VMware's software-defined datacenter architecture which enables pooling of industry-standard hardware through virtualization to help organizations achieve the agility, efficiency and intelligent operations management of cloud computing.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

I remember when I first joined Iskcon We used to sometimes sit together and sing bhjanas from the songbook; I recal especially the words, "when oh when will that day be mine? Offenses ceasing, taste for the Names increasing, when in my heart will Your mercy shine? when oh when will that day be mine?" I used to think, yes indeed, when oh when? Now it has been a few years. My service has been interrupted by my occupations, I have committed more offenses than I can name, I still think I'm this body. But I have stuck with Krsna come hell and high water.
Just as a natural result of remaining committed over a span of time, now as one remembers our Lord, the sense of yearning and longing has become emphasized by time. Just like a man waiting for his dinner, the longer he waits, the more he longs for refreshment. Now, one has been waitng one's whole life, Dearest One, just to talk with You, to hold Your hand if but oh so briefly. Will you reciprocate with your Krsnadasa, or must You break his heart by hiding in the forests? Why play such games with one; it is not fitting for such an exalted Being to relish the suffering of others, especially when they are Your wholehearted servants. Have mercy upon the tiny jiva, and thus fulfill Your reputation as patita pavana.
In this way, we "new" men can take heart. Simply stick to the program, and in a very natural fashion, our attachment will increase. Jaya Sri Guru and Gouranga!

Delta hospital avoiding patient limb amputations
Published: December 2,2010
Greenville — Washington County's Delta Regional Medical Center (DRMC) has made a commitment to limb preservation and amputation prevention.
The hospital's Heart & Vascular Center doctors, Dr. Mike Trotter and Dr. Steve Chapman, have initiated a program that incorporates a multi-disciplinary team approach for limb preservation. Partnering with the Wound Healing Center and specialists in internal medicine, infectious disease, and cardiology, as well as general and orthopedic surgery, the cardiovascular surgeons have successfully achieved amputation prevention in over 12 patients who would otherwise have lost their legs.
Several patients had already been advised to have an amputation and one-third of the patients had experienced an amputation of the other leg in the past, making the effort at limb preservation especially worthwhile.
In the United States 60,000 major amputations are performed annually. Diabetes and atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease are the major risk factors for amputation. African-Americans are nearly twice as likely to undergo any amputation as other ethnic groups. Mississippi has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the nation and that rate continues to increase..
Previously, patients presenting severe foot pain to their health care provider may have been treated for arthritis or gout. Patients with foot ulcers or discolored toes may have only been offered an amputation. With current imaging techniques and specialty care available at DRMC, accurate diagnoses can be made and a treatment plan formulated.
Treatment plans may involve minimally invasive endovascular therapy such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, surgical bypasses, or combinations of both. Similar in concept to heart bypasses, these leg bypasses use the patient's own veins and often actually reach into the involved foot itself.

Minor league baseball: Miracle's Morales earns weekly honor
After missing the final part of 2011 with an elbow injury, Fort Myers Miracle outfielder Angel Morales arrived to camp healthy and has been on a tear early in the season.
Morales was named the Florida State League Player of the Week for the second week of April.
The Puerto Rican native, batted .415 (17-for-41) over the first 10 games of the season with seven RBIs and eight runs scored.
Morales has also been on base at a .457 clip with a slugging percentage of .561.
"This year my elbow is finally healthy again," said Morales. "Now I'm putting everything in place and trying to make the most out of the 2012 season."

Two driverless cars stuffed with passengers are ABOUT TO CRASH - who should take the hit?
Re: "the blame would probably resolve down to the last command screamed out by a human"
Beware Brit cops bearing battering rams. Four nabbed over Trojan claims
Well at least they're trying
They've limited resources, and according to the newspapers today police forces may face a 20% cut in future budgets/manpower.
Whilst there is an argument that the vast amounts of money reportedly spent on spying on us all could be better spent, perhaps on preventing cybercrime, that's not an issue that can be affected by individual police forces, nor the national bodies such as the NCA, and certainly not the officers and staff working at this sort of level.
Perhaps a little more moral support from the IT "community" (sorry, a dreadful term but I cannot at present think of one better) would be appropriate. Someone somewhere has hopefully not had their computer hijacked today as a result of the disruption caused to these (alleged) villains, in the same way as I or my loved ones might not be mugged tonight if the beat patrol has raided the house of a known mugger this afternoon.
I'm never going to know about that, and the system isn't perfect, but for the time being it is what we've got.
Perhaps we as an industry should devise better OS that ordinary users dont need a degree level education to configure properly to reduce the risks of such crime in the first place in the same way as as we dont expect to be mechanical engineers to use a normal car safely.

Brussels' transport chief demands a single European sky to end 'air traffic gridlock'
Re: "This is not a challenge to European diversity or the sovereignty of any country"
Apologies if I was not clear.
Currently as I understand it, each country controls aircraft in its own airspace. If a plane fails to respond, the military of that country can be called on by the local ATC to investigate as in the article I referenced. They'll know who to contact and how to do so quickly.
If the control is centralised, then unless there is some pan-European air force on call, a controller in whatever node is in charge (lets say for example that a centre in Italy had for some reason got responsibility for Europe for that shift/day/week/whatever, perhaps if the Northern Node is undergoing some technical issue) seeing a problem such as that described in the article has got to work out which nation to contact to scramble their aircraft, and then perhaps (in the case of a large country) which region/airbase/whatever to direct the call to. I am sure they'll have procedures but its all adding time to the response.
A busy controller might go a bit "meh" if dealing with an errant aircraft in some far away place of which they perosnally care little, becoming in effect a call centre. If I may draw an analogy, fine for controlling your AA breakdown response (within reason), not fine for sending you a fire engine when your abode is going all Piper Alpha on you.
Re: "This is not a challenge to European diversity or the sovereignty of any country"
@AC "This only concerns civilian traffic (CAT and GA) under the provisions of the Chicago Convention (1948). State and military aviation is an entirely separate matter."
The trouble is these things can very rapidly become a military matter when (as for example a couple of weeks ago) that large Antonov suddely stops responding to ATC radio. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29823148 and I'd be wary of beleiving that every node which might at some stage be responsible for our airspace under this plan will know exactly who to callon the hurry-up.

Maybe we should look at changing manufacturer perceptions regarding security in ALL areas where IT is becoming an issue. TVs, Fridges, electricity meters, home security systems etc etc
Whilst generally legislation applied to tech tends, even if done with the best of intentions, to fail as laws stagnate and tech (usually) doesn't, this might be one area where some broad principles could perhaps be laid down, with manufacturers being subject to penalties if they dont secure things so that joe bloggs buying on the street doesnt have to be an IT expert.

If shareholders might never know the true reason....
Investors will usually weigh up risks before purchasing shares in anything. This goes from the large pension funds to the individual buying shares or even putting some money towards a kickstarter project.
If things go wrong, then whilst you might not get your money back (such is the nature of speculation) you should at least be able to find out why and lessons might be learned for next time. There's a lack of transparancy and accountability in this kind of arrangement that will dent the confidence of the market and thus make investment in future projects more difficult for people to obtain. If the law permits this kind of arrangement, then the law needs to be revised.

Re: Anything goes?
Not every blue light service can afford TETRA/Airwave. The billing system is that they take the heaviest usage on any day of the billing period (usually a month) and then apply that for every day of that month. If you're a small service, or one doing mostly "events" such as St. John, Red Cross or any number of the other voluntary/privates, this is unaffordable, leaving aside the issues such as management of talkgroups, security of the handsets and cost (a typical large football stadium will require over a dozen handsets for first aid teams alone, many come in at over £1,000 each). For operators far away from base stations (lifeboats, mountain rescue, cave rescue etc) its even less of a viable option.
There are also resilience and capacity issues with TETRA, I've been on operations with a major statutory service where it has simply failed for hours at a time in a major metropolis with no "disaster" issues such as enviornment or power issues for events that occur every year.
There is a privacy issue with the use of open VHF, sometimes in the normal course of events patient details have to be transmitted from a control to a vehicle (or similar) and this has always caused some concerns. In the event of a major incident, the press are likely to be swarming around more than normal and it might be nice for a relative not to get their first notification that the nearest and dearest have snuffed it from twitter or being doorstepped by some reporter with a scanner. In such circumstances I would think encryption the lesser of two evils, although I realise that any commonality for inter-operation might then lead to the means to defeat this being publicly available....
Scottish independence: Will it really TEAR the HEART from IT firms?
Data Protection
If Scotland votes yes, and doesn't get EU membership straight away, Data Protection would presumably be an issue for a bit. I'm not particularly impressed with safe harbour arrangements already enacted elsewhere... This might rather scupper much of the operational side still being based in Scotland for rUK business.
And then there's the question of "what if they rob all your money" as presumably a new extradition treaty will be needed and if the follow the line of some countries "we'll never extradite our citizens" then all sorts of shenanigans could be perpetrated with impunity

US judge: YES, cops or feds so can slurp an ENTIRE Gmail account
Re: What's the problem?
Actually, I believe that can be the case particularly in houses of shared/multiple occupancy. I think if (UK) police exercise the powers of search available immediately after arrest they can only go into common occupancy areas or those exclusive to the accused. The bedroom(s) etc belonging to other residents are supposed to be off limits.
I would expect that the same should be the case for any warrant issued for a "raid" but that might rely on the court being told of any such circumstances.
I'd be interested to learn of any misunderstanding of the current law I might have.

'The writing is TOO SMALL': MPs row over Parliamentary move to Office 365
Re: Really?
What do you expect? One MP (read: standard user) informing another MP (ditto) about an IT system.
For most of us, whilst it is hardly the way we'd wish IT decisions to be made, it reflects reality in many workplaces. I frequently get "I've read you can get software to do this for free on the internet" either from a user with a new pet idea or as a rebuttal from finance/the MD when I want to do something properly. It's depressing.
It is a shame there wasn't an IT bod there who could have clued them up on the legal and technical aspects around this idea, let alone the security risks of running the government on a system where the data governance is openly overseas. Perhaps they're thinking that as the system will be hacked to death by people (those we pay, or those we share everyting with) with really good skills in that field, what's the point in spending on ineffective security. They might actually have a point......
UK gov rushes through emergency law on data retention
"This bill will simply replicate what currently exists"
So its a duplication then? If so, why bother?

Daddy, what will you do in the new security wars?
In the home arena...
The biggest single improvement would probably be a simple explanation for the non technical user included with every new PC or in the OS setup (and I've never seen this in either, although I don't buy many PCs) explaining the following:
Administrator lever accounts should only be used for setup and software installation.
Have two, a main and a backup just in case you lock one and need to reset the password.
User accounts should be used for everything else; your email, shopping, watching videos and surfing the internet. Have one for each user, so that you can keep your emails and surprise purchases for your loved ones private.
If you run things as an administrator and your kids get on the computer, all the viruses they come across on dodgy websites or are emailed will run as if "authorised by the administrator" and you will have problems, just as if you gave them the pin to your ATM/Debit card.
All accounts should have a password, if only to prevent the kids reading your emails, but it also helps protect against other unwanted problems as well.

Today's get-rich-quick scheme: Build your own bank
Re: Where's the cash again?
I advanced my arguement as the author of the article frequently referred to cash (as in taking people's deposits of wage packets*), defined elsewhere (dictionary.com) in the first place as "money in the form of coins or banknotes, especially that issued by a government" and something I use regularly in local shops, parking meters etc.
If there is no cash in the traditional sense, and all you've got is the "internet banking" part of a relatively normal current account, then I agree my argument falls. In this case the terminology used in the article/proposition needs to be clearer, and somehow I think "place your corresponding bank's accounting entries with us" might make it seem less attractive, even though this is the truth of how much retail banking actually works.
*yes, some people still get these in cash, every week, in a little envelope. Not everyone passes KYC or is credit worthy enough for an account, even the "basic bank account" offered by the main retail banks that is a backstop for those on the breadline.
Where's the cash again?
If deposits are taken each night to the Bank of England, given a time for the close of business there (5pm?), then allow for the the travelling time of all the security lorries leaving all the branches to get there by then, during rush hour, then you can figure out when the branches will have to close each day. Not exactly going to be handy for small businesses to go there with their end of day takings.
- Do they keep them in the shop overnight and deposit them the next morning or does the bank create some sort of overnight credit account, of the sort they said they wouldnt?
It could also make operating beyond London very challenging.
Those cash lorries gong back and forth every single day aren't going to be cheap either, especialy as every "laaaagg wiv a shoo.er" will know the times and routes within a couple of days and in the event that there is some sort of national fiscal crisis resulting in the BoE deciding it can't release 100% of the cash overnight, or a strike by fuel tanker drivers (think about it) then people might be put out, to put it mildly. Still it would make life easier for HMRC to deduct interest or tax they believe you owe.
And the cash in the ATMs, that will need to belong to the bank, until such time as it is withdrawn (when the bank then reimburses itself from the customers account, presumably placing the account as overdrawn until the cash comes back from the Bank of England the next morning) so that will need to be bank's assets, as of course it cannot borrow from other customers by crediting their account whilst putting the cash into the machine....
Of course you could solve all this by not physically taking the cash to the Bank of England, but then all of a sudden like every other bank, you've got an account with them, involving credit and debit entries. Now what was that thing that made you so different from all the others?.....
And where's the profit in all this for the quick rich scheme?

I like the idea of something like the BMW i3 as a 2nd car (not main car, at least not yet) for the runs of about 6 miles to the shops once or twice a week, the twice daily 20 mile school round trip (no, its not private, council had no places locally) and the odd relatively local night out (maybe 20 miles to the nearest town). Price is a different matter but on the basis that I can plug it in each night, so long as I dont find that the power has been "nicked" as part of some national grid storage/balancing scheme (as proposed in other articles) when I need it, then this should be fine. If I lived in the city (as I have done) the probably even better. Hopefully with the tech improving over time then as my current ICE vehicles reach the ends of their lives I might dispose of all except (probably) the very old Land Rover for use in very very poor weather.
They will still be a place for ICE for many users some time to come, but I'm actively looking at an electric motorcycle for the daily commute (45 road miles each way), only the cost (they are excluded from subsidy, presumably due to prejudice regarding the image of motorcycling, one manufacturer has just pulled out of the UK due to lack of support for the vehicle class from HMG) and lack of a fairing for year round use is putting me off. I've found a couple of suitable models that will cover the round trip on major roads (Brammo and Zero for the curious) and for the final bit into London and the City they are perfect.
London commuter hell will soon include 'one card to rule them all'
Perhaps we might borrow a term from the Germans and call it....
...an Ubercard.
That should go down well with the cabbies.
