Maybe its all meant to be like mobile phone plans. So complicated that no one can workout which better or cheaper

I like change so I've googled around a lot of articles about the lack of a start button. You basically have to learn two keyboard shortcuts and everything is fine. The other thing people don't like is multiple clicks to shutdown your machine. Once I found out that Microsoft reckons most laptops, desktops and tablets have a sleep mode and they thought "We'll just let the computer do that" I stopped worrying. I had a colleague once who used to spend a day on every new version of windows making it look and work just like Win95. Whats the point?

I assume that the people who were scammed had to pay via creditcard. Why didn't they just block that? Worked against wilileaks Sorry if this is a dumb question

We had a murder case in Perth and the suspect was thought to be a taxi driver. All taxi drivers willingly gave their DNA so it could be excluded and thought their samples would be destroyed after testing. A few years later a taxi driver was investigated when his (supposedly destroyed) DNA matched for an unrelated crime. His alibi was cast iron so luckily nothing happened. When asked the police told the taxi drivers that their DNA would be destroyed WHEN the murder was solved (8 years and counting) and it was TOO hard to exclude the taxi DNA from scans. Gotcha!!!

Several years ago a Libyan "diplomat" shot and killed a British police officer and the diplomat was still allowed to leave the UK. Why didn't they storm the Libyan embassy then? Oh was oil involved

I watched an episode of Continuum last night where they used the the signal from a cell tower to map peoples movements and I thought it was the most ridiculous idea in a scifi show ever. I was wrong.
