PyCon DC 2004
Quixote is another Web application framework. Its servlet lookup technique is very Pythonic: you place your servlet hierarchy in an importable Python package. Quixote processes the URL parts from left to right, using getattr() to find each part. This allows wide flexibility: each part can be a submodule, class, instance or anything else that has attributes. Eventually Quixote should find something callable: a function, a method or an instance with a .__call__ method. It calls that with a request data structure, and the return value is the HTML string (or an instance of a streaming class). At each step three special attributes in the parent affect the behavior:
._q_public (list of strings, required)
Must list the subattribute. If the subattribute is missing or ._q_public is missing, Quixote pretends it couldn't find the subattribute. That's to prevent accidentally publishing private objects.
._q_access (function/method, optional)
May raise AccessError to forbid the request.
._q_index (function/method, optional)
Saves the day if Quixote falls off the end of the URL without finding something callable; akin to index.html.
._q_lookup (function/method, optional)
Wildcard attribute if no specific attribute matches; akin to Python's .__getattr__().
But the most interesting aspect of Quixote is its template system, PTL. It's useful not only in Web servlets but in a wide variety of applications. Unlike Nevow and most template systems that have placeholders in the text, PTL embeds the text as string literals in a function. For instance:
# example.ptl def cell [html] (content): '' content '	' def ordinary(): # An ordinary Python function. return "Result."
To use it:
import quixote; quixote.enable_ptl import example print example.cell("Acme & Co.") # Prints "Acme & Co.	".
enable_ptl installs an import hook, which tells import how to load *.ptl files, compile them and write *.ptlc files. [html] is a decorator as described in Guido's keynote above. Because Python doesn't yet have a decorator syntax built in, PTL has to fake it. The PTL compiler captures the literal result of each expression or string--what Python's interactive mode would have printed--and concatenates them into a return value. This is something I've often wished Python or Cheetah could do, and here it is. PTL seems more suited for templates with smallish blocks of text and a lot of calculations than for templates with multi-page static text and only a few placeholders.
The [html] decorator automatically HTML-escapes expression results and arguments but does not escape literals. This is usually what you want, because results may come from an untrusted source, but literals are presumably correct. The return value is a pseudo string, an htmltext instance, used to protect it from further escaping should it be passed to another [html] function. There's also another decorator, [plain], which does all the concatenation goodies without the escaping and is suitable for your non-HTML applications.
I went to the Atop talk because the summary said BSDDB. I thought, "Well, anything about Berkeley DB will be mildly interesting." It turned out to be majorly interesting, because Atop is an object database built on top of Berkeley DB. How did they know I recently had been looking for Python object databases besides ZODB?
The session paper is not on-line, but the SubEthaEdit notes are. All serializable objects must subclass or be Item. Every item has a unique numeric ID; there's no physical nesting of objects. However, a Pool acts like a list and gives the illusion of nesting. In reality it contains pointers to the various raw items. Pools can be queried, for instance:
pool = store.getItemByID(7) # 'store' is an open database. for item in pool.queryIndex('name', startKey='Bob'): # Loop through all elements whose 'name' attribute is >= 'Bob'. print item.name
Berkeley DB is reliable, fast, easy to install and fully integrated with Python. Several other projects use it, including MySQL (as an optional table format) and Subversion. However, it's extremely difficult to use correctly, and the dangers include data corruption. Fortunately, Atop takes care of these problems so you don't have to.
Atop currently is distributed as part of divmod.org's Quotient package, a Twisted server that's described next.

Great Value posted on 24/12/2013 by LM1
Haven't used this yet but its made well and will do the job of protecting my plants. Although it came with a small crack in the bottom Greenfingers were great with the customer service and this was sorted very satisfactorily. What more can I say very good service from Greenfinger and would use them again.
Love this purchase posted on 23/10/2013 by MOPSEY
Can't wait to use next year. Lovely and sturdy and supplied with stakes. Will last and last as quality that good. ;)
very useful posted on 12/06/2013 by NancyF
Bought these at the start of the summer, on offer, so have not in fact used these actual tunnels yet. However I have had a couple of identical ones for years now that I find extremely useful at the start of the season, particularly when getting over-enthusiastic and planting things out a little too early. They are just big enough to fit over two well-spaced courgette plants... or of course a host of smaller stuff. The old pair of tunnels I have are still going strong after years of abuse.
Excellent product posted on 26/05/2013 by cooking gardener
Perfect fit for our raised beds, easy to use and keep clean. We have some that are now over 5 years old still going strong.
A bargain! posted on 31/01/2014 by Radr
I have seen these before, locally, but they semed too pricy - so at 50% they are a bargain & I've bought 4 of them to try this Spring.
Just right for purpose posted on 29/04/2013 by Mrs Maybridge
Good product with many uses in the garden. Currently using to give shelter to young tortoises! Attention needs to be paid to packaging as my first one was dented and cracked. This was replaced (but in the same packaging) so it all depends on the care taken by delivery driver
Small long cloche x28sun tunnelx29 posted on 11/12/2014 by VAH
This light cloche is the size I wanted but being moulded plastic but I am not sure how robust it is. Difficult to say if it is good value I paid the sale price until I see how long it will last. Will probably have to anchor it down with string and bricks in this windy weather.

BBC decides not to renew 'Top Gear' host Jeremy Clarkson's contract
A seismic shift of stuff is underway in homes all over North America.
FORT WORTH, TEX. — Josh Hamilton left the Texas Rangers on Thursday and agreed to a $125 million, five-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the slugging free-agent outfielder had reached a deal with the AL West rival Angels. Two people familiar with the talks disclosed the amount and length of the contract, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet final.
Hamilton's $25 million average salary matches Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard for the second-highest in baseball, trailing only Alex Rodriguez's $27.5 million average with the New York Yankees.
Texas had hoped to re-sign the 2010 AL Most Valuable Player, who led the Rangers to consecutive World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011.
Speaking Thursday after a Rangers' holiday luncheon, Daniels said he had just been informed of the decision by Hamilton's agent, Michael Moye.
Daniels said he was disappointed "to some degree," especially since the Rangers never got a chance to match any offer during the process, as they had expected. Or at least get contacted before Hamilton agreed with another team.
"I never expected that he was going to tell us to the dollar what they had, and a chance to offer it. Our full expectation, the phone call was going to be before he signed, and certainly not after," Daniels said. "Everybody's got to make their own calls."
Hamilton joins a team that spent big last off-season to add first baseman Albert Pujols for $240 million and pitcher C.J. Wilson — Hamilton's Texas teammate — for $77.5 million. Yet, the Angels disappointed and failed to make the playoffs.
"He's a tremendous talent and I think that they've shown they're going to be in on a lot of the best players out there," Daniels said. "No sugarcoating it, we wanted the player back. And he signed with the Angels. They're better."
The agreement came days after the Los Angeles Dodgers added pitchers Zack Greinke and Ryu Hyun-jin, boosting their payroll over $200 million.
Greinke, another off-season target, said he chose the Dodgers over the Rangers.
Hamilton's addition to the Angels outfield means Mark Trumbo could be moved to third base or traded. Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells also are among the outfielders competing for time unless a trade is made.
Manager Mike Scioscia will have an interesting decision to make on where in the batting order to slot in Pujols, AL Rookie of the Year Mike Trout and Hamilton, a five-time All-Star. He has a .260 career average at Angel Stadium with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 150 at-bats.
Daniels met with Moye last week at the winter meetings in Nashville and had talked about the parameters of a new contract along with numbers. While Daniels wouldn't get into any specifics, he said his understanding is the deal with the Angels "is certainly more guaranteed money."
The move keeps Hamilton in the same division with plenty of opportunities to play against his team — the first one coming fast next season. After the Rangers open with three games at new division foe Houston, they play their first home series April 5-7 against the Angels.
The 31-year-old slugger was considered a risk by some teams because of his history of alcohol and substance abuse, which derailed his career before his surge with the Rangers over the past five seasons.
"Josh has done a lot for the organization, the organization has done a lot for Josh, a lot of things that aren't public and things of that nature," Daniels said. "I'm a little disappointed how it was handled, but he had a decision to make and he made it."
Hamilton had a career-high 43 home runs with 128 RBIs in 148 games last season, when the Rangers struggled down the stretch and lost the division to Oakland on the final day of the regular season.
Texas then lost in the winner-take-all wild-card game against Baltimore, and Hamilton was lustily booed by Rangers fans while going 0-for-4 — twice striking out on three pitches, including an inning-ending out in the eighth with a runner in scoring position when it was still a 3-1 game.
That came two days after Hamilton dropped a routine popup in the regular-season finale, a two-out tiebreaking miscue that allowed the A's to score two runs and go ahead to stay. He missed five games on a September trip because of a cornea problem he said was caused by too much caffeine and energy drinks — and had one homer with 18 strikeouts in the final 10 regular-season games after returning.
Hamilton hit .304 with 161 homers in his six major league seasons, the first with Cincinnati. In May against Baltimore, he became only the 16th major league with a four-homer game as part of a 5-for-5 night that included a double.
"Josh had indicated recently ... told us that he felt it might be time to move on, but that we were still talking," said Daniels, who wouldn't elaborate on the reasons. "We had additional conversations this week that I thought had moved it along in a positive direction, but apparently not."

If you have $1.4 million lying around, there's a pretty good chance you've always wanted a town of your own (probably), and now you can. Henry River Mill Village, better known as the location for The Hunger Games's District 12, has been put up for sale by its owner, 83-year old Wade Sheperd, who is tired of the young'ns showing up and looking at things.
For the cost, you get 20+ buildings and 72 acres of ugly, dystopian bliss and the possibility of income from all of the people who want to go see where Katiniss's crazy journey began. That sounds like a pretty awesome deal to me, but I don't have $1.4 million.
If you do, you should buy it and donate it to Modern Method. Sure, there's nothing of consequence related to movies, games, toys, or Japan in North Carolina, but we want it anyway. We'll rename it Modern Methodonia and probably put your name on the sign or something. You know you want to be on our sign.*
Regardless, I've been trying to wrap my head around the implications of this sale in terms of the rest of the trilogy. I haven't read the Hunger Games books, but the fact that Lionsgate hasn't just up and bought this (they've certainly got the money) seems to me to mean that District 12 has no place in Catching Fire or Mockingjay. But that doesn't make any sense. Then again, maybe I'm reading too much into it, and they're assuming they can rent the property again from whoever buys it.

You ARE defined by your character. Your character is shown by what you do and how you act. You can't CALL yourself a good person, go out and steal candy from babies and be a good person. Why is this so difficult for progressives to understand? Oh yeah, because the concept of good and evil is unknown to y'all. Character is not a wish list. It is TANGIBLE.

YOU do the defining. If you define yourself as a criminal and act accordingly, then you ARE a criminal. And if you wear a rubber nose and big shoes and get your paycheck from Ringling Brothers then yes, you are a clown. And if you waddle and quack, you are probably a duck.
Moral Relativeism makes me crazy.

I personally know 2 gay people who "changed their minds" and went on to marry opposite sex people and have children. Until scientists know definitively why some people are gay and others are not, I don't believe any major changes in our society should be made.

I was bullied as a child and back then Dad just showed me how to throw a punch. Since I was very small, I instead developed a viciously sharp tongue that could make an adult cry and dealt with the bullies myself. Know what I learned in the next 50 years? Those bullies grow up and are at my work place and in my community and in organizations I belong to and are even in my church. But because I learned, by myself, how to deal with them as a child, I now have the self-confidence, skills and ability to deal with them now. I also learned to take a punch pretty well. If Dad solved my problem for me at 6, I'm afraid he'd still have to solve my problem for me at 56. Many may disagree, but I think a parents responsibility is to teach a child to exist in a sometimes very hostile world, not protect them from it. You can't put them in a bubble. Mr. Schilling, the bullies don't go away, but you won't always be there.

My favorite made-up disease is Aspergers. It just means no social graces bordering on being rude. When I suffered from this horrible syndrome, my mom explained to people that I was just shy. She FORCED me to join the drama club in high school, I had so much fun, I had a miraculous recovery. Sure wish they had a telethon for this illness. I could use the money. And I've taken the quizzes. I'm pathological with my Aspergers. LMAO!! So when ever I get a funny look from people for something I've blurted out, I explain that I'm the poster child for Aspergers. When actually I have no filter.

I worked for a Pediatrician who specialized in ADHD. Not one of her patients were on Ritalin or any medication. She put all her children on a very specific schedule, food, exercise, homework, to bed, up in the morning, discipline. All the parents that followed her "Rx" to the letter, had "non-symptomatic" children. It was a miracle.
I just recently dealt with a parent who was trying to get disability payments and removal from school for their child who suffers from the disease, "Oppositional defiance disorder." The form asks the doc for a treatment plan. He wrote, "Daily doses of soap, to bed without supper and regular spankings." The mom got the disability for her kid and now the school district has to pay for an in-home tutor for this brat.
My nephew has been diagnosed 5 different times with ADD. Fortunately, his mom tells the school, the only trouble with him is he's all boy and your class is boring. BTW, the kid plays a dozen sports and gets straight A's because he is NOT medicated, but I've never seen him still, even when he's sleeping. And my sister will lock herself in the bathroom to get a moment of peace from him….just like my Mom used to do on Satuday night!! Noone was allowed to knock on the door during her soaking bath unless the house was on fire or we were bleeding, and not even then, she used to say.

I hate the insanity plea. It should be GUILTY because of insanity and regardless that he knew what he was doing or not. He did it and should pay for it with his life. The only difference between guilty and guilty with insanity should be that he gets to see psychiatrist once a week for the rest of his life. If this man truly has PTSD, we ought to take that into consideration.

CMA persuades ticket resellers to provide consumers with proper informationMarch 6th, 2015 • 4 Comments
Secondary ticketing can be a minefield. If you aren't lucky enough to get tickets first time round, from the official retailer, being able to find tickets that people can no longer use- or when people just want to make a profit on their tickets- is a valuable service to consumers. However, the whole secondary ticket market has been subject to a Competition and Markets Authority (CMA, the new OFT) as they were concerned that consumers were shopping without full information, preventing them from making an informed purchasing decision. Now, 4 of the largest UK secondary ticket platforms – GET ME IN!, Seatwave, StubHub and viagogo – have promised to pull their collective socks up and provide improved information to buyers about the tickets listed on their sites- including original face value.
While no-one is saying that ticket resellers can't charge more than face value for tickets, particularly those hot tickets that sold out in nine seconds, the CMA want the face value to be clearly stated so that those buying them are explicitly aware of the premium they are paying. Other undertakings adopted by the resellers include information on restricted entry conditions (eg for children) and restricted view, whether or not multiple seats that are listed together are located together and whether there are any additional charges not included in the listed ticket price. They will also all provide a contact email address for buyers to use if something goes wrong.
But the CMA isn't stopping there. They are also writing to other major ticket resellers and businesses to inform them of the CMA's "expectations about their conduct and their obligations under consumer law". They have also produced a handy guide for consumers so you know what to look for when buying tickets from a reseller.
Nisha Arora, CMA Senior Director, said:
"A well-functioning secondary ticket market benefits fans by helping them to get tickets for events they want to see and by helping them when they can no longer make use of their tickets. As a result of the CMA's action, and the constructive response of the major secondary ticket platforms, buyers will now have more of the key information they need before buying."
"Businesses that do not provide secondary ticket consumers with information they need to help them know what they are buying may find themselves subject to action under consumer protection law, including possible financial penalties from Trading Standards Services to drive future compliance."
Shahriar Coupal (Advertising Standards Authority) said:
"Hiding or omitting information about charges that consumers have to pay is not only misleading it's simply unfair. In tandem with the CMA, we've been working closely with the secondary ticket sector to help make sure it's clear and upfront about costs so that consumers get a fair deal and businesses play by the same rules."
7 in 10 drivers hit potholes – and how to claimMarch 6th, 2015 • 1 Comment
Potholes are the blight of anyone who uses the roads in the UK. According to a survey, 7 in 10 drivers have had problems with them, yet, only two-thirds of cars that have been damaged by them have successfully claimed some compensation.
Which!!! did some research and found that 4 out of every 10 drivers who had hit a pothole didn't bother claiming because they didn't know how to, while some said that they didn't bother because it wasn't worth the hassle.
However, 55% of satisfactorily resolved claims got some money, paying out an average of £188, which means drivers are missing out and should be submitting claims to the Highway Agency or local authority.
According to the research, successful claims usually depend on whether or not a pothole has already been reported. Local authorities have a statutory defence thanks to Section 58 of the Highways Act 1980, which basically says that, if an authority can show that reasonable care was taken to make the road safe and that it wasn't dangerous to drivers, they're covered. However, if a local authority knows about a pothole and hasn't repaired it, drivers could put a claim in.
Which!!! big cheese Richard Lloyd, said: "With so many drivers hitting potholes and damaging their cars it's important that people know their rights. Our research shows it's worthwhile making a claim. If you do need to make a claim, our advice is to find out if the pothole has been reported, collect photographic evidence and get receipts of any work to fix the damage."
If you want to put a claim in, then Which!!! have a step-by-step guide you can follow and guidance about the whole thing for both drivers and cyclists. Click here to have a look.
Co-op charge almost ten times as much for identical painkillersMarch 5th, 2015 • 15 Comments
Good old Co-Operative Food. You know, the one founded on ethical principles? Well, it seems they are as ready to swindle consumers as any less ethical supermarket, by making false claims on their products, and then attempting to charge almost ten times as much for the hyped-up product.
If you have a headache, you might want to buy some painkillers. Ibuprofen is a popular choice. In Co-operative Food stores, you can find both standard ibuprofen tablets and 'Long Lasting' ibuprofen tablets side by side on the shelf. If you are a busy person, you might think you'd better purchase the 'long lasting' tablets to make sure your pain does not impinge on your day any more than absolutely necessary.
As you can see, the standard and long-lasting tablets are in very similar packaging. So similar, and so closely nestled together that it almost might be possible to mistakenly pick up the wrong packet- which would be an expensive mistake to make given than the 'Long Lasting' ibuprofen tablets cost £1.95 for 8 tablets (24.4p each)and the standard ibuprofen tablets cost 45p for 16 tablets (2.8p each). Now, almost ten times more expensive is a fairly hefty premium to pay for a 'long lasting' effect so we checked the ingredients of the tablets to see what gave the long lasting tablets their endurance. Guess what we found? That's right. Nothing.
You see the 2.8p tablets and the 24.4p tablets are identical in terms of active ingredients. Both contain 200mg ibuprofen. So we were confused. Surely the Co-op with their "ethical values" that include "openness" and "honesty" were not merely trying to sell consumers ibuprofen with added snake oil just to make a hefty profit?
So we asked them. And they said "there is a difference," but didn't actually get round to explaining what the difference was, or responding to our query as to whether they thought they were deliberately misleading customers by selling products that are chemically identical under another name. Funny that. Looks like the "Co-operative value" of "self responsibility- we take responsibility for, and answer to our actions" might be something else that is actually a load of old codswallop…
Co-op have now come back to tell us why the "Long Lasting" tablets are worth so much more. The answer is that "the Long Lasting ibuprofen are made up of beads which allow the ibuprofen to release slowly as opposed to the tablet which is immediate." They also feel that swindle is too strong a word.
So it's up to you as to whether you would rather take two long lasting tablets, delivering you 400mg of pain relief over 12 hours for a total cost of 48.8p, or whether you'd rather take two tablets every four hours and get 1200mg of pain relief at a cost of 16.8p. A third of the pain relieving ingredient for (almost) three times the cost. Seems perfectly reasonable…
EU to keep mobile roaming chargesMarch 5th, 2015 • No Comments
We reported a while ago, that the EU was all set to abolish roaming charges. However, that may not be the case now, as they're going to be here for another 3 years.
The pointless and outdated charges were to come into play this summer, but now, roaming charges are going to stay until the end of 2018. And only then, the situation will be reviewed. With the average Brit spending £120 on these charges, this is a bit of a kick in the pants.
The telecoms industry aren't happy about this either, as they say that this will affect their revenues, presumably because holidaymakers will prefer to switch their phones off while abroad, rather than use them. That said, they'll happily take the money of those who do use their phones, so they won't be too annoyed at all this.
A number of consumer groups across Europe, who have joined forces at the BEUC, have called this u-turn 'outrageous' and that 'roaming is not justifiable in a single market.'
Only last year, the UK was planning on getting together with other European countries to sort out a fairer system which would abolish roaming charges, whereas now, everyone's going to have to work out a common position with the European Parliament and Commission before any changes come to the fore.
"EU member states should hang their heads in shame," said Belgian MEP and Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group leader Guy Verhofstadt.
Scottish Power hit with sales banMarch 4th, 2015 • No Comments
Scottish Power have been slapped with a sales ban after they failed to meet Ofgem's customer service targets. The energy provider was told to clear all their outstanding Energy Ombudsman decisions regarding customer complaints, but they didn't.
They were asked to answer customers' calls more quickly, reduce a backlog of bills and sort out outstanding ombudsman rulings. As such, the 12-day sales ban means the company can't engage in "proactive sales" from today.
The energy company said that they are "committed to delivering the best service possible and treating our customers fairly".
Sarah Harrison, Ofgem's senior partner in charge of enforcement, said: "A sales ban illustrates the difficulties Scottish Power is having in delivering the levels of service customers deserve. While Ofgem's targets have driven significant improvements in Scottish Power's performance, we remain very concerned about how customers are being treated."
Scottish Power say: "We have successfully delivered two of the targets. In relation to the target of having zero ombudsman remedies over 28 days, we cleared 2,575 cases during November and, at 1 December, the Ombudsman confirmed that we have achieved the zero target."
"However, subsequently it was identified that 30 cases had been closed incorrectly. We sincerely apologise to these customers for these errors. The cases were immediately fixed on discovery. In line with our original voluntary commitment and with the agreement of Ofgem, we will now stop outbound selling from 4 March until 15 March."
Amazon Prime 'free trial' advert, bannedMarch 4th, 2015 • 2 Comments
There was a fair bit of hubbub surrounding Amazon's Prime and how it changed from a free trial to a paid-for service.
The Advertising Standards Authority have banned one of Amazon's adverts, which was a direct mailing advert, which offered a "free trial" of the Prime delivery service, saying that it misled consumers on the now infamous subscription fees.
So what's the beef?
Well, the ASA's ruling came about after their were complaints about a card that crowed about a "30-day free trial", which wasn't prominent or clear enough when pointing out that a paid subscription would kick-in automatically if the service wasn't cancelled during the trial period.
In addition to that, the regulator noted that the ad for the instant video element of Prime also didn't point out the cost of a subscription.
The letter itself said: "Dear [name], I'm sending you this letter because I want you to know that you are eligible for a free trial of Amazon Prime … Start your 30-day free trial today and watch as much as you want … That's all there is to it …"
It did say; "Paid subscription starts automatically after free trial unless cancelled," in the small print, and Amazon pointed out that the advert repeatedly said the "free" element was time-limited. The company also pointed out that in all occasions bar one, the word "free" was preceded by "30-day".
The ASA weren't having it and said: "We did not consider that it was sufficient to include the information about the automatic paid subscription in the small print of the ad only and therefore did not consider that that information was sufficiently prominent to make clear the extent of the commitment consumers must make to take advantage of the offer."
"We concluded the ad was likely to mislead."
The Advertising Standards Authority concluded that this particular advert for Amazon Prime was misleading and it mustn't appear again in its current form.
Are retailers going to have to tell you where to buy your products cheaper?March 2nd, 2015 • No Comments
How much easier would it be if, whichever retailer you were shopping with, shops actually had to tell you if a competitor was offering an identical product at a better price? Well that is actually what happened in a civil Court of Appeal case last week, the decision in which has had retailers scrambling to determine if the ruling is binding on them, and would cause them to fall foul of EU consumer protection laws.
The case in question concerned whether a company was required to notify consumers that the services it offered for a charge could be obtained by the consumers acting directly for free. PLT Anti-Marketing Limited (PLT) offered to register consumers' names and contact details with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and the Mail Preference Service (MPS) in return for £4 monthly subscription, but neglected to tell consumers that they can register with the TPS and MPS for free.
In its ruling, the Court of Appeal considered to what extent businesses would need to disclose information about the availability, quality and price of rival products and services to consumers to comply with EU consumer protection laws, saying that the disclosure of such information "will be necessary in some situations" to ensure businesses are not considered to be making 'misleading omissions' when selling their own goods or services to consumers.
However, Lord Justice Briggs did refer to the need to recognise the 'average consumer' and whether or not the average consumer can be relied upon to "shop around" for such information, therefore removing the disclosure obligations from traders. In his decision, the judge found that a reasonable consumer would indeed shop around, so that this was an acceptable starting point for retailers.
"Generally, inward-facing information is likely to be available only from the trader in question, because it is information about that trader, or its goods or services. By contrast, information about alternative or competing products may generally be supposed to be available in the marketplace, to the extent that a particular consumer wishes to obtain it before deciding whether to make a purchase from the trader in question. In short, shopping around for information about alternative products (whether goods or services) is characteristic of the reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect consumer," said LJ Briggs in making his decision.
So will this decision have any effect when you next visit an electrical retailer to buy a new fridge, for example? Commercial contracts expert Rami Labib of Pinsent Masons thinks not.
"Although it remains to be seen how the principles established by the Court of Appeal will be applied in future cases, our interpretation is that businesses will only need to notify consumers about the availability of alternative products and services on the market in exceptional cases," Labib said. "For most businesses, the ruling will not demand a change to marketing materials or business practices."
So while this ruling might be a further way to clamp down on so-called 'copycat' websites, where websites pop up to charge consumers for a service that is normally available for free or at a nominal charge, it seems Currys don't have to tell you if your fridge would be cheaper if you bought it from Apollo2000. Never mind.
Look at the newest Superbrands! Which ones do you hate?March 2nd, 2015 • 1 Comment
There's a new list of the UK's consumer superbrands, with John Lewis, Lego and Virgin Atlantic gatecrashing the top 20!
For the second year on the bounce, British Airways have come out on top and falling out of the chart are Heinz, Cadbury, Amazon.co.uk, Sony, Shell and Marks & Spencer. Looks like we don't love them like we used to.
Stephen Cheliotis, Superbrands' council chairman, said: "Younger brands, such as the social media giants, are sitting on the sidelines making little impact as a huge battle takes place among trusted, traditional brands seeking to remain relevant and retain their positions among the brand elite."
This ranking is calculated from a shortlist of over 1,500 brands and scored by the Superbrands council of 33 people from the marketing industry and an online panel of 2,500 British adults. Makes it all sound a bit arbitrary doesn't it?
Either way, British Airways will be pleased, while Facebook, who were in the top 20 in 2013, will be wondering what they've done wrong (ahem, personal privacy, ahem) and Twitter will be thinking about what they have to do to feature at all!

TalkTalk customer data stolen in hackFebruary 27th, 2015 • 1 Comment
Another day, another hack and this time, customers of TalkTalk are being warned after a load of account numbers, names and personal details were stolen from them. Be on the lookout for people trying to scam you, basically.
In an email sent to all TalkTalk customers, the company said that ne'er-do-wells were using the swiped details to try and trick people into handing over their bank details. If you received the email, you'll find a special phone line to call if you've been targeted.
The number is 0800 083 2710.
This scam was discovered after TalkTalk found that there was a very sudden spike in people complaining to them about scam calls at the end of last year. A spokesperson said: "We have now concluded a thorough investigation working with an external security company, and we have become aware that some limited non-sensitive information may have been illegally accessed in violation of our security procedure."
It seems that the hack came about via a third-party who also had access to TalkTalk's network and, as a result, the company will be taking legal action against the aforementioned third-party.
"We are aware of a small, but nonetheless significant, number of customers who have been directly targeted by these criminals and we have been supporting them directly," said a statement from TalkTalk.
The scam in question involves customers getting called up and, with the stolen details, the scammers are trying to convince you that they're a legitimate TalkTalk representative who tries to sell them security software. So, if you're a customer and someone from TalkTalk rings you up and asks for your bank details, tell 'em where to sling it.
CMA to investigate review sites to see if they are misleading consumersFebruary 27th, 2015 • No Comments
Ever used TripAdvisor to check a hotel or restaurant? Checked out your plumber on Checkatrade? Read a blog that reviewed the latest gizmo? All of the above are the subject of a new consultation by the Competition and Markets Authority on how information in online reviews and endorsements is used.
The CMA (which took over the things previously looked at by the Office of Fair Trading) is asking consumers, businesses and other interested parties to come forward with their views. In simple terms, the CMA, which is "committed to looking at evolving online markets", has realised that "large numbers" of consumers read and rely upon online reviews when making purchasing decisions. These include sites like TripAdvisor and Checkatrade which do so formally, and blogs that have less formal reviews.
Both TripAdvisor and Checkatrade have been accused of having misleading or downright fake reviews, with stories of hotels offering sweeteners to guests who offer good reviews on the site-as well as tales of customers trying to hold hoteliers over a barrel with the threat of a poor review. The CMA is "aware of a number of potential concerns about the trustworthiness or impartiality of information in some reviews and endorsements that is being provided to consumers" and wants to investigate if there is anything it ought to be doing something about. It is also mindful of the effect negative reviews can have on businesses, and that is why those affected by review sites are also being asked to comment.
To be honest, the CMA isn't sure what exactly it will do if it finds Things To Be Concerned About, but possible action includes: launching a market study covering this sector, or a part of it; initiating consumer enforcement action; advocating legislative change to government; providing guidance to industry or consumers, or both; and /or seeking voluntary action from the industry. Or doing absolutely nothing.
Nisha Arora, CMA Senior Director, Consumer, said:
The information contained in online reviews and endorsements can be a powerful force in the hands of consumers. Informed consumers make better decisions, driving competition on price and quality. Businesses have always known that 'word of mouth' is one of the most important factors for potential customers; what online reviews and blogs do is to provide a greatly amplified version of this. However, for this sector to work well it is important that this information is genuine, relevant and trustworthy."
More detail is available on the call for information page, and the deadline for responses to the call for information is 25 March 2015.
Lenovo attacked by Lizard SquadFebruary 26th, 2015 • No Comments
Lenovo annoyed everyone when it turned out that they'd put Superfish in a load of their laptops. The company said that it was supposed to enhance the user's experience, but any fool could've told them that this was never going to be the case.
No-one wants a program that offers you shopping tips, as most people already know what they're shopping for, or indeed, are hit with enough adverts while online, that there's buyers fatigue while on the computer.
As such, Lenovo have been hit with a cyber-attack and, again, those cute Lizard Squad guys were behind it, turning their attention away from games consoles long enough to cause the laptop vendor some grief.
"One effect of this attack was to redirect traffic from the Lenovo website," Lenovo said in a statement. "We are also actively investigating other aspects. We are responding and have already restored certain functionality to our public-facing website."
The company is also "actively reviewing" their network security and will be taking steps "to protect the integrity of our users' information and experience". They're bloody obsessed with 'user experience' aren't they?
If you missed the news, Lenovo are no longer dealing with Superfish software after a huge amount of complaints.
People think businesses put profits ahead of consumer needsFebruary 25th, 2015 • 1 Comment
Do you believe businesses have your best interests as a consumer at heart? If you don't, you're not alone, as a new CBI poll has found than more than seven in ten of us believe businesses abuse our trust and sacrifice loyalty for a quick return. 'Profit' is, apparently, being used "like a dirty word" by the majority of consumers.
The YouGov poll of more than 2,000 UK adults for the CBI's trust-in-business campaign found that 72% of respondents believed businesses put profit before the needs of consumers, and 66% said that "businesses put profit before the wellbeing of their workforces".
But are most of us living in some kind of cloud cuckoo land? Far from being a dirty word, profits are essential to the successful and continued running of a business. Interestingly, 70% of those surveyed also said profits were a "good thing". It seems businesses are stuck between a rock and a hard place of making profits while also taking excellent care of consumers, even if this would adversely affect profits. But perhaps this is not an impossible dream- some of the most successful UK brands at the moment are those, like John Lewis, who are recognised as 'consumer-friendly' brands. However, it seems much of the issue surrounds trust- we don't mind businesses making profits so long as they do it in the right way (with boycott favourites Starbucks and Amazon clearly not doing things the 'right' way), with more than three quarters of survey respondents saying they want businesses to "be more transparent" about how they earn their profits.
Katja Hall, the CBI's deputy director-general, said: "Despite support for profits as a 'good thing', they continue to be demonised widely. We need to recalibrate this debate."
Which!!! executive director, Richard Lloyd, said, insightfully: "Successful businesses know that by giving people the products and service they want, at a fair price, they'll have happy customers who are more likely to stay loyal. But firms harm their own reputation and damage trust in their industry when they neglect the basics and fail to put the customer first."
Nuisance calls and texts to be met with massive finesFebruary 25th, 2015 • 1 Comment
Those irritating gits who run companies that mither everyone with nuisance calls and texts are looking at some new regulations that will slap them with huge fines. We're talking penalties of (up to, of course) £500,000.
The current laws don't do much to discourage these spam merchants, but that's apparently going to change, as new rules will make it much easier to penalise them.
They come into play from April 6th and they mean that the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) won't have to prove that unwanted messages are causing a "substantial damage or substantial distress" any more.
In addition to that, the Government are also looking at bringing in new rules which will see that executives on the board of these businesses will also be held responsible for these calls and messages.
"For far too long companies have bombarded people with unwanted marketing calls and texts, and escaped punishment because they did not cause enough harm," said digital economy minister Ed Vaizey. "This change will make it easier for the Information Commissioner's Office to take action against offenders and send a clear message to others that harassing consumers with nuisance calls or texts is just not on."
We all know how slippery these cold-callers are, so it would be wise to avoid holding your breath until we actually see someone getting a massive fine. Still, this is, initially, very good news for everyone.
Parking ticket data breach for tens of thousandsFebruary 24th, 2015 • 1 Comment
A database full of around 10,000 people's parking ticket details isn't as secure as previously thought as somehow, it has ended up being published online.
According to Sky News, the company called PaymyPCN.net, which has collected penalty charges for two decades has a direct link to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) database, which means people who shouldn't be looking, can see drivers' names and addresses.
Not only that, there's public access to the content of emails that are appealing charges and photos of drivers and the cars. In addition to all that, this database allows the aforementioned photos to be uploaded and deleted, which is just magic.
How did this all come about? Well, a link to all that lovely data was published on Twitter by Michael Green after a private parking firm sent it to someone in error.
Green said: "I am not surprised by this. The DVLA claims to have safeguards in place to ensure drivers' details are safe but these only exist as media soundbites. Our campaign challengethefine.com aims to get people compensated for parking data breaches. Despite the RAC Foundation questioning the legality of these charges the DVLA still passes millions of details on to private firms."
Of course, this is the DVLA that have come under heavy fire for their collective failure to vet and audit the companies in which they are prepared to sell the names and addresses of motorists, so this latest news isn't a shock at all. This is also the same DVLA who have been acting unlawfully when it comes to losing your letters that you've sent them (and here's what you can do if the DVLA say they've lost your letter).
A DVLA spokeswoman said: "This is not a DVLA error. We take our duty to safeguard data very seriously and we will not compromise data security. DVLA does not hold or provide data such as photographs, emails and phone numbers to private parking companies."
As for PayMyPCN – if you want to get in touch with them to see about data breaches, here's the number to call and their email: Tel: 03450 737 209, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Adam Payerl spent the first few days of Pittsburgh's training camp skating with the likes of Evgeni Malkin and James Neal. He scrimmaged against stars such as Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz.
Most importantly, Payerl took advantage of an opportunity he didn't have last season and got noticed.
Throughout the first days of camp, Payerl's name has been mentioned as one of the young players who impressed. Last season he didn't have a chance to impress the Pittsburgh brass in an NHL training camp after the lockout wiped out the opportunity.
Payerl is glad to have that chance this year.
"During the lockout we had Pittsburgh management in Wilkes-Barre watching us, but it's definitely different when they're seeing you practice and going head-to-head with the NHL guys," Payerl said. "This is where your opportunity is to make a lasting impression. When you're playing against these experienced NHL guys, you want to battle them in the corners and show you can compete."
Payerl, 22, is entering his second pro season. Last year he played in 44 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, posting three goals and 10 points while playing a power forward style. As the season wore on and even into the playoffs, Payerl's game continued to improve. In the postseason he had two goals and opened some eyes to the point where may have a shot at one of Pittsburgh's bottom six forward positions.
Whether that happens out of training camp or with a call-up later in the season, Payerl is happy to have opened some eyes.
"It's an exciting feeling to know that they're watching you," Payerl said.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach John Hynes said Payerl's approach in the early days of training camp has been the right one.
"It's good to see the younger prospects such as Adam play a certain way in the AHL, come here to camp and they're able to transfer that," Hynes said. "He's played to his identity."
Even if that identity is one of a physical, punishing player who is hard to play against.
Payerl knows that he has to tame the hard hits a bit in training camp, but it doesn't mean he has to stray from his game.
"At times you have to be aware of who you're playing against. You don't want to be bearing down and hit a big name player like (Sidney) Crosby," Payerl said. "But you still try to be physical and win your one-on-one battles."
And what better place to do it than in an NHL camp against some of the top players in the world.
"Coming here, it's surreal at first," Payerl said. "The first time you're star-struck, but you have to put that away really quickly and focus on hockey."
Around the room
• Last year's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton rookies aren't the only ones excited to once again have the opportunity to come to an NHL camp. Hynes is thankful for the opportunity again also.
"The way they do it here is exceptional. For coaches, it's always good to come in and implement things together as a group. As it filters down it helps you get off to a good start and keeps everybody at all levels of the organization on the same page," he said.
• NHL training camp is not only a great way for young players to establish themselves on the ice, but it's also an opportunity to make an impression elsewhere. "The big thing is Dan Bylsma and his staff get to work with these guys, see them in meetings and around the room," Hynes said. "That's a great chance to leave a positive impression."
• Veteran forward Chuck Kobasew, who is in camp on a tryout, brings an element that the Penguinsalready have plenty of - postseason experience. But Kobasew says postseason experience is something a team can never have enough of, and in his case a particular Stanley Cup run almost 10 years ago still drives him today.
Kobasew was a member of the 2004 Calgary Flames, who came into the postseason as the sixth seed in the Western Conference and made a run that culminated in a Game 7 loss to Tampa Bay in the Finals. For Kobasew, coming within a game of winning the Stanley Cup is of little consolation.
"Being so close, it stinks," he said. "I don't think you ever get over it unless you win. That feeling will never go away. It was a grueling run and it taught me a lot, but at the end of the day if you don't win it it's tough."

If Steambox has a Titan in it for cheap, whats to stop people from buying...
DV8ingSources posted...
^ Well there are 3 high end machines being sent out for the beta but they've already mentioned that other tiers will be offered.
But anything less that would cost $500 is going to be a pile compared to their PS4 or Xbox One counterparts.
It's like Valve is trying to make the PC into an easy to use console type setting, but they're forgetting that PRICE plays a huge part in that. It's not going to reach the console crowd unless it's in the console price range and quality. I know the PC versions of games are the best. I know the PC gaming experience can be much better, but that's only if you're willing to pay the price for it. You will not have a comparable gaming experience with a $400 PS4 and a $400 PC.
I mean, the only people I can see maybe wanting a Steambox are those that are already PC users that are looking for a new system. But how will it be any better than a prebuilt system? How big will it be? I assume I'll be able to use a mouse and keyboard with it. I mean, what is it, a console or a PC? Because those are two different worlds.
EDIT: Also, there aren't that many games that work on Linux, which is what SteamOS is built upon. So unless you want to buy your own version of Windows, install it to your Steambox to essentially make it a traditional PC, you won't be able to play the huge library of PC games anyway, which really is the only appeal for the targeted audience.
Don't lie to someone who trusts you.
Don't trust someone who lies to you.
Throw my Titan in it, along with my old 3770K I'm replacing next year.. toss the Steam OS on it.. Steam box, hell.. might even buy the controller to make it seem more legit.
Best Windows ever, Windows 8!

Do you really want to play Starcraft 2 or Civilization with your Steampad? I'm not sure that will work very well. It will be like trying to play with the touchpad on a laptop.
Then don't.
It's a f***in Steam Box, not a Playstation 4.
But anything less that would cost $500 is going to be a pile compared to their PS4 or Xbox One counterparts.
I don't think Valve's really intending to fight them while they're brand new. The test systems are just for gathering feedback and testing things out.
Where I think it really gets interesting is what happens next year? How will a Broadwell / Maxwell based system fare against them? The year after that?
Consoles are, after all, static platforms. How much march of progress will it really take to put them to shame?
Boge posted...
That's not true. Stop spouting ignorance all over everyone.
Are these official specs? It destroys most of our computers and how is this affordable! D:
3570k (212 Evo) | Z77 Extreme 4 | Sapphire 7850 2GB OC | 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz | XFX PRO650w CE | 1TB Black WD | Fractal Design Define R4 | 3840x1080 | Logitech Z623
I know the specs are insane. I am not sure who valve is trying to market this to. If valve is going after console gamers they need a steambox that's below $499 and more around $399 if they really want it to sell. Any thing over that puts it in 3DO and Neo Geo territory. It's just going to be some thing for the rich who have money to waste. That's a very small market.
I mean if you already have a gaming rig why bother getting a steam box for a ton of money? I already have a good gaming laptop with good specs, that should last me a while. Don't see a reason to upgrade any time soon.
I would get a steam box if the specs out did my laptops and the price was right.
SRPG games...i just love them!

If they're aiming this at non PC gamers, I can see them getting confused on all the different models. They want to be able to buy the system and not think about how it will run.

Yeah this is my worry too. It seems too open ended. Maybe they could get away with it if they had a steam box recommendation rating on the store pages... Each steam box would be rated a number and all games that could be played at certain thresholds performance wise would be rated at that number or lower.
There's really just too many questions that have gone unanswered as of right now. I'm a little pessimistic about the whole steam box idea. Steam OS and the controller are fine but the random hardware is a bit odd.
