Steady now. I'll lawyer up ...

What’s up with him that I’ve missed?

The man so unpopular with anybody who worked with him that when his attempt at a Letterman-style talk show failed abysmally, they were popping champagne corks? Well...

That’s a shame, I’m a fan, I still watch his Christmas film every year.

It is a shame. Don't meet your heroes and don't read about them on the Internet. Particularly in his case, since it seems to go all the way back. There's a reason only two of the Three Amigos have kept in touch.

Interesting dead cat from Ofcom about Saturday deliveries.

Tragic story here, RIP fellow cyclist:

The message, sent before Mr Verma departed Gatwick airport, read: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."

The real story here is surely the level of surveillance.

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

fuck, he should have whatsapped it

Does Snapchat not use TLS? I'm not installing it to find out.

I feel like people would consider an airport pretty lax if it didn't even monitor it's own WiFi for terrorist-looking phrases in plaintext, but active MITM attacks are a little worrying.

Possibly, but would you not expect the security services to be monitoring traffic communicated via unencrypted public WiFi networks in a major airport? Especially when keywords like "blow", "up", "plane" and 'Taliban" are used.

makes you realise just how insecure most peoples communications are
maybe i should stop posting on that rollerblading forum lest i get found out
