But yet, he researched his statement and provided several references for each assertion, exactly what is missing from journalism. Like I said, I wouldn't usually take his word for much. But I did read the entire statement and have to say that there is many a good point.

Bear in mind, he knows more than almost everyone about the relationship between the press and the government. For better or worse.
He didn't call for regulation by government but concluded that self paid regulation was pointless and self serving. Which I think is fair.

If I am honest I think it has given me a small amount of new found respect for the man who sold the world a terrible war.

Alastair Campbell - (Press Secretary for Tony Blair) not someone who I would normally believe on anything. Wrote a pretty comprehensive witness statement outlining how far the problems goes and how much it affects the running of the country and to be fair he understands the media more than most. It is worth a read - http://www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Witness-Statement-of-Alastair-Campbell.pdf

Well, it's one problem with Michael Bay films.

Either that or they just want to cheat

I'd just ask him who *was* making the decisions.

As I assume it was one of the grown-ups.

Thanks but I am unclear do the apps use http or https to communicate?
Is there any way of knowing what security the apps are using to communicate with the service.
This is important to consider as I haven't seen an iPhone app have an option of securing their connection with remote services. Most people use apps for things like facebook and are entirely at the liberty of the apps' security. There is no 'use https' choice if it doesn't do so.

I so wish the BBC would use something other than Adobe Air for their iPlayer, it's horrible and doesn't get recognised by my Mobile mouse iPhone apps and the videos aren't playable in the Air Video app either. The fact that it is a big security hole (and in the UK a popular one ripe for exploit) only concerns me more.

And no, DRM protected WMV is not really a good alternative.

I had this problem yesterday after i rebuilt my PC.
I found it on Filehippo (sorry can't link from this machine) and that seems to be the place for many full installers. It actually made rebuilding much easier as I could very easily grab the most recent version of almost all the software I used.

It seems that this is most concerning for those loggining in while using public networks (such as accessing with a cafe's WiFi).

So this leads me to ask if I am safer when using the Facebook/Amazon/eBay app rather than the mobile browser. Is the security of the iPhone or android apps better than the web security for Facebook?
Or can I make my access of these sites more secure myself somehow?

Don't mention Texan courts to a Liverpool football fan right now - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/9080946.stm

Even if you don't care about football, you have to recognise that trying to overturn and undermine a British High Court ruling about a case in Britain, through applying an injunction in a Texan court, is a ridiculous contempt of a foreign judiciary system.
