All Aboard! (But No PCs Allowed). Most weekends, multimillionaire tech executive Doug Humphrey takes to the seas in his ex-British Royal Navy patrol ship. As a security measure, the only computers he uses -- or allows -- on board are Macs. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News]
This is the most extreme case of "boys and their toys..." ever. Sounds like a good friend to have.
Someone should be punished for creating red light cameras. This study supposedly shows that they save lives. Maybe, but anyone who believes that saving lives is the reason these things are imposed on us is just stupid. Government is invasive enough without worry that you're going to get a $250 ticket in the mail for miscalulating the yellow light's duration, with no recourse but to pay, else the City/County/Burg will ruin your credit report. And as the cost of tech drops, next we'll have stop sign cameras, lane changing cameras, full-blown speed detection radar everywhere....Arrrrrg!
