  7. too much money on Three Banks Lose Millions After Wire Transfer Switches Hacked · · Score: 1

    If this was a normal hold-up and they stole millions the police etc would be all over the place, but not so with this heistb and the owners of the bank wwould be on the phone to the local polcie cheif every 10 minutes, therefore it sounds like the bank can afford to loose this amount of money.

  14. Ebays fault on It's Time To Start Taking Stolen Phones Seriously · · Score: 1

    Having just purchased a stolen phone on ebay (the Police are looking into it), and having now read up on how easy it is to sell a stolen phone in the tat bazzar, it does seem to be ebays problem, as they are not doing enough to stop it. For starters sellers should have to register the IMEI number with ebay who automatically check it against the stolen list before it goes up for sale. When reported stolen the phone is locked it all countries not just the UK.

    But it is also down to the owner for not securing it using the phones security features, and also keeping the £500 item safely locked away. Waving a wad of £500 around in the air in the middle of a busy street is asking for trouble yet plp do it with $700 iphones.

  18. sounds like a plan on Belgian Media Group Demanding Copyright Levy for Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good deal to me. All the written material; music; films I can watch for £3 / $6 / €3.5 per month. Though how authors; musicians etc will be up to Sabam. Though I think Sabam owes me a few pounds as I wrote (and a number of people used) software in the '90's.

  19. facebook is useless on Former Diplomat Slams Facebook For Inaction On Fake Pages · · Score: 1

    I don't see what other people see in facebook. If it's supposed to be web 2.0 it useless. The the page for my club does not show the diary (whats on) that can find.
