NSA justifies hacking world's digital communications

Logic

I'm sure hope the NSA doesn't make my car unsafe because cars are also used by criminals.

Exactly why...

I don't bother with that stuff on my Desire. I have quite oily fingers and you don't need complicated software to break into my phone. What would be nice is a PIN pad (possibly using symbols rather than numbers) that uses a random layout each time, with some sort of timeout (ie. you only need to type the PIN after 5 minutes or whatever).

Pint because I couldn't find an image to represent "meh".

Administrators head for titsup training company

Contact the Financial Ombudsman Service

My wife was in a similar position when the company she was doing some IT training through went into administration. The company that was supposed to take over providing the training weren't able to offer the same level of service. The loan company (a well known financial institution) want to help but after raising it to the Financial Ombudsman Service she no longer has to pay the loan nor continue the poor quality training.

Of course, I'm sure it comes down to the specific circumstances, but at least there is hope that the banks don't always get their way.
