Some interesting news items from our friends at the BBC . . .

CCTV goes wi-fi to fight crime

"In the UK there is one CCTV camera for every 14 people. If you are in London, you could be caught on camera up to 300 times a day."





Would you trust ubiquitous wi-fi surveillance from a government that produces cheesily Orwellian posters like the one above? (And what is with that flying saucer above "beneath"?)

EU 'confident' of star power site

"In terms of the physics and huge amounts of energy involved, the project would be akin to building a star on Earth."

Can artificial black holes -- and possibly universes -- be that far behind . . . ?
