State snooping

Already the UK and the US sneakily and immorally, although borderline legally, tap into and record data on everyone’s browsing habits, Emails and contact details using the excuse of preventing terrorism.

All this and there are still areas that they cannot get into but never fear there is a proposal in the new Soviet [...]

Lie detectors and a greedy state

I thought that the Stasi had moved out of No 10 but this idea must make even the dumbest Cameron supporter see that they made a big mistake voting for him.

The proposal that small business owners and high earners face lie detector tests may be a vote winner for the whingy whiney Liberals [...]

The future of Western medicine

It seems that a batch of the Obamacare upgrades is being rolled out in Zambia first.

Won’t be long before these are rolled out in the West as budget cuts hit and £200K managers look at reducing costs without impacting themselves or their peers.

To be honest though it surprises me that they [...]

Traffic control

I like this sort of idea.  Self regulated traffic lights to speed up the flow of traffic.    Anything to make for smoother traffic flow sounds good.

The only thing is it is our traffic planners that screw it up.  It has long been recognised, and admitted, that their sole purpose in life is to [...]

Making warfare safer for wimpy PC leaders

I’m all for making things safer but can someone explain to me the point of making bullets and bombs safer in warfare.    Variable bombs?   Can’t we just use the different size ones we already have.   It’s almost as if we don’t want to win any wars we have nowadays.   Talk about giving up before we even [...]

Who would have thunk it?

It seems our paranoia about government watching our every move online is going to be greatly enhanced by our move to the cloud.

That’s why my feet are staying firmly on the ground and I suggest you do to until we have a way around these [...]

Outsourcing isn’t all about money

At the start of the outsourcing boom I remember having discussions with the board about outsourcing our IT and, basically, making myself redundant. All the senior managers saw is a reduced spend for IT on the books and in exactly the same way IT brought about cost savings in finance, warehousing, etc. they seen [...]

All stand by for your daily scan

If this research pans out then we can all look forward to having our brains scanned on a regular basis. All to prevent terrorism of course.

On the plus side of course everyone will trigger this alarm as showing pictures of a city which they have associations with or a bomb should elicit strong [...]

Target identified. Send out Plod to <strike>terminate</strike> investigate

Well it seems that Mexico is now turning into more of a surveillance state than the US. At least now I understand why so many of them are risking death to escape to the US. I used to believe it was because there was a better standard of living in the US. Now it [...]

Identity crisis

It seems the internet has yet to make its most significant contribution to our lives. Screwing up our reputations. Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt has suggested that everyone will change their name as a rite of passage because of what they have done on line on Facebook and tweets etc. so they can leave their [...]
