In Virgin Media battles privacy campaigners on P2P monitoring
How does this play out if your client only accepts encypted bitorrent connections? And what about magnet links? Does that approach make fileshare monitoring harder for them to track?

@Mark and @G Plumb: I've owned a LOT of mobile phones and while the iPhone may have the occasional short-coming, it's still EASILY the greatest piece of mobile technology I've ever had.

In US nuke boffins: Multicore CPU gains stop at eight
So the processor can't get data quick enough from the RAM or Network... doesn't that mean the problem lies in the connection between ie. the copper wiring?
Surely someone is working on a fiber optic solution to seriously ramp up the data delivery from RAM to processor?

In World+Dog predicts new iPods, Macs imminent

What's the point in the iPod Touch having GPS if it doesn't have consistent access to the web (3G/EDGE) to pull down Google map tiles?
Sure, there's always wireless, but most wireless web connections I've used (via iPhone) are only available either inside or 2-3 feet from buildings... where you can't get a bloody GPS signal anyway!

In BT seals free Digital Vault

Why pay BT when you can just run a cron job of rsync, gzip and mcrypt over ssh to an off-site server. Duh!
Seriously though, poor show BT.
