Das Geschäft mit der Energiesparmasche


Hersteller von Elektrogeräten animieren dazu, alte Geräte auszutauschen. Zu teuer, zu energiefressend, heißt es. In manchen Geräten steckt sowieso ein eingebautes Ablaufdatum. Geplante Obsoleszenz heißt der Zauber.

Manufacturer declares death of bugs Stuxnet used to sabotage Iran nukes


German conglomerate Siemens on Monday said it has fixed vulnerabilities in its software products that appeared to be identical to those that allowed the Stuxnet computer worm to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.

In advisories published here and here, Siemens said it updated its Simatic Step7 and Simatic WinCC software applications to "address vulnerabilities first discovered in 2010." That was the same year the Stuxnet worm was discovered burrowing into industrial control systems in Iran and other countries throughout the world.

As HSBC executives apologise to the US Senate for laundering drugs money, the fact is that nothing changes

"Steal a little," wrote Bob Dylan, "they throw you in jail; steal a lot and they make you a king." These days, he might recraft the line to read: deal a little dope, they throw you in jail; launder the narco billions, they'll make you apologise to the US Senate.

Two months ago in Washington DC, a poor black man called Edward Dorsey Sr was convicted of peddling 5.5 grams of crack cocaine. Because he was charged before a recent relative amelioration in sentencing, he was given a mandatory 10 years in jail.
