From wcbstv.com:

“Of all the possible things that can come between spouses, you can now add BlackBerrys — or more precisely — BlackBerry addiction to the list.

A new study reveals BlackBerry’s are becoming — among other things — the 800-pound gorilla in the bedroom.

…

And apparently that attitude is being seen in the sack. Of those polled, 87 percent said they bring their devices into the bedroom.

Another 84 percent check their e-mails just before they go to sleep. Another 80 percent check them in the morning as soon as they get up.”

“In a bid to cut mounting annual fuel bills of Rs 8,000 crore, Air India is to shed weight on its flights by carrying less food, newspapers and a half-filled water-tank on board.

Air India aircraft will now be put on a diet…The fly-light programme is expected to bring down fuel costs by Rs 400 crore this fiscal, a senior Air India official said.    

Apart from this weight-loss programme, a dust-free regime is also proposed as dust in aircraft adds to its weight, leading to an increased fuel consumption.”

“You may remember that, some time ago, I blogged about an interesting little computer curio called the Space Cube. Quite simply, it’s one of the smallest PCs in the world, with each side measuring around 2 inches square. I wrote that it looked cool, ran on a 300MHz processor and that it probably wouldn’t be sold outside of Japan, if at all.

Well, now, we’ve actually gone and got hold of one - the only Space Cube in the UK that’s running Linux, in fact. In the flesh it’s even more impressive than in pictures, inspiring awe and provoking disbelieving reactions across the PC Pro office. It’s actually quite difficult to comprehend just how small the PC is so, for your delectation, we’ve been taking pictures of the Space Cube next to some everyday objects.”

“Day to day, the things we do as security professionals can be pretty complex. From a control perspective, it is fairly common to take a product category-like view and work from there. But nowadays, the security functions being performed have all been defined and anything “new” really is a flavor of something we’ve already done (this is why those of us who’ve been in the industry for awhile lament that everything’s been done before).

It may be useful to have a set of “atomic security functions” that act as building blocks so that all other solutions can be shown to be combinatorial or derivative of these functions. All of these functions are inline - between source consumer and target provider.”

From lifesitenews.com:

“The parliament of the predominantly Catholic country of Croatia is urging its citizens to reclaim Sunday as a day for celebrating the Eucharist, for family, and for rest.

The Croatian parliament passed a law yesterday requiring most businesses to close on Sundays. The law does, however, allow Sunday shopping during the summer tourist season and Christmas holidays.

The new law also allows stores in hospitals as well as those in gas, bus and train stations to open on Sundays year-round. Bakeries, newsstands and flower shops are also exempt from the ban.”
