The UK's Information Commissioner's Office today announced that it was fining Andrew Crossley of the now defunct ACS Law £1,000 for failing to keep secure sensitive personal information about 6,000 people. The Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, was particularly critical saying, "The security measures ACS Law had in place were barely fit for purpose in a person’s home environment, let alone

GNC #669 Fantastic Show

The hardest part of the show is stopping when I have so much to share, but I am going to do my best to keep the show at 70 minutes. The number of you watching is proving keeping the format tight is good for audience growth. On tonight's show, I have a pretty strong message for the Mac users so

Guilty of Carelessness

As Todd discussed on his last podcast, LastPass have been very open regarding a possible data breach in their systems. I think they did the right thing but their servers were simply crushed by the rush of people changing their master passwords. But I'm not writing to chastise LastPass. On the contrary, I'm here to admit to being guilty of

Epsilon Risks Downplayed

The theft of names and email addresses from Epsilon has reached across the Atlantic. Last week I received notification from two UK companies, one of which is a household and high street name, Marks and Spencer, the other is Crucial UK, who will be familiar to almost anyone who has bought computer memory.

I spend a few moments talking about the technical portions of the Charlie Sheen show on Ustream. Considering the train wreck that happened on their inaugural show on Saturday makes me proud of all the new media creators that produce their own shows, and do so with 50x the professionalism of what I observed Saturday night. I have a new

GNC-2011-02-14 #647 Simply a Monster Show!

I have no choice but to cut back a little for the next shows. I simply had more news than I could handle tonight and apologize because they came fast and furious at the end, doing no justice to all of the content. But one thing is for sure I deliver your moneys worth on all of the shows lately.

Somfy Tahoma – Beyond Home Automation

Steve Iommi chats to Todd and Tom about Somfy's new Tahoma system which takes home automation to the next level. It's based round the concept of "scenes" - a scene might be "weekday-morning" which has certain set of actions, e.g. open blinds at 7.30am, whereas the "weekend-morning" opens the blinds at 8.30. With a whole a range of scenes, everything
