NEWS Finnish security firm F-Secure's boss has commissioned a Bill Gates style mansion on one of the most expensive pieces of land in Helsinki. Outgoing CEO Risto Sillasmaa aims to build a high tech house, which can be remotely controlled by computers and has its own network inside the house. He told a Finnish tabloid his architectural plans are inspired by Bill Gates' house in the US. The house is estimated to cost E3m (£1.8m) built on a piece of Helsinki coastal land worth E1m (£610,000).
