O2 Customer Forum
I’m delighted to report that O2 launched a customer forum this afternoon — partly because I had an involvment, but also because it’s great to see large companies inviting their customers in and communicating with them. There’s a lot of mistakes to be made in the online community business, but I get the impression O2 have the very best of intentions with these forums, long may they continue!

Gardaà entitled to request Internet data for “public order offenses”.
Surely it should be “minimum custodial sentence”? Perhaps it’s just a transcription error. But isn’t this equivalent – or worse, in some cases – than the Gardaà being allowed to access your bank or medical records for the same offenses? For a minor assault?
ENN: The Irish Times says that the Government has broadened the range of criminal investigations for which the Garda are able to request e-mail and internet data retained by internet service providers. In the latest draft of the statutory instrument implementing European directives on data retention, “serious offences” would be defined as “any offence for which a person… could receive a maximum custodial sentence of six months”. Offences that could now be deemed “serious” include public order offences or minor assault.

This has been sitting in my drafts for ages because I can’t find the source image, but it’s incredible, isn’t it?

See the line about two-thirds of the way up? Look closer.
Now check out the video. It’s long, but it gets better as it goes on. Or scarier, depending on how you look at it.

That’s one brave man. Or stupid, depending on how you look at it…
Opel Insignia
I quite like it, but isn’t it very reminiscent of, well, quite a lot of other things? Passat, Audi, Mercedes, even Bangle BMW to a certain extent. Opel have proved that they can innovate, so it’s a pity they couldn’t have their own style in this space.
