SPÖ begrüßt deutsches Vorratsdaten-Urteil
In einer Aussendung hat SPÖ-Konsumentenschutzsprecher und Vorsitzender des Datenschutzrates, Johann Maier, am Samstag die Einschränkung der Vorratsdatenspeicherung in Deutschland durch ein Urteil des deutschen Bundesverfassungsgerichts begrüßt.
"Wir haben die anlasslose und verdachtsunabhängige Datenspeicherung immer abgelehnt, da dies dem europäischen Datenschutzrecht widerspricht", erklärte Maier. Die entsprechende EU-Richtlinie müsse auf niedrigstem Niveau umgesetzt werden, das bedeute, es müssten die Grundrechtsbeeinträchtigungen so gering wie möglich gehalten werden, so Maier weiter.

On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.

Sony Charges $50 Extra to Sell You Laptop with No Crapware
Sony and crapware have a special relationship, so much so that it takes over two minutes for its laptops to boot into Windows (compare that with 30 seconds for a MacBook). The company has even issued press statements explaining its reasoning: “The programs are carefully selected and provide benefits to many consumers, up to 30% of whom act on the offers.”

Toxin scare hits mozzarella sales
Sales of mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk have been hit by a contamination scare.
Eighty buffalo herds in the Naples area have been quarantined on suspicion that their milk may contain dangerous levels of dioxin.
The animals grazed on land where toxic industrial waste may have been illegally dumped by criminals.
The local Mafia - called the Camorra - have been making huge profits by dumping toxic waste in the region.
