Comment The loss occurred at 10.30PM at an airport but I didn't realise that the drives were missing until 11.45PM - and the airport didn't reopen until 6.30AM the next day. Written at home after a sleepless night thinking about real risks and dispatched... [18 Jun 2008]

Dear silicon.com... ZX Spectrum nostalgia, Mac attack, tag a bag…

Editor's Blog: Signs of terminal decline at T5?

The Naked CIO: Crunch time for large projects

ID cards are dead
Comment Z is for Zurich Airport So essentially the 'new' ID card scheme will consist of ID cards for foreign nationals and people working in high security risk areas or occupations - airport workers being the first to be targeted. [07 Mar 2008]
