• Microsoft starts ruffling privacy feathers in the US

  21-05-2019 18:41
  This weekend will mark the one-year anniversary of Europe’s GDPR and Microsoft has made the bold suggestion of bringing the rules over the pond to the US.
  Many US businesses would have been protected from the chaos that was the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with the rules only impacting those which operated in Europe. And while there are benefits to privacy and data protection rights for consumers, that will come as little compensation for those who had

• US autonomous truck trials go up a gear

  21-05-2019 18:19
  The US Postal Service is trialling self-driving trucks between Texas and Arizona in partnership with autonomous vehicle specialist TuSimple.
  The US has been ahead of the game when it comes to putting self-driving trucks on regular roads along with the rest of the traffic. This trial involves trucks that drive themselves but have someone sitting in the driver’s seat anyway, just in case, who presumably drinks endless cups of coffee.
  The two week trial will, appropriately enough, mark a mile

  Not far from Holborn in a part of town known as Little Italy is a plaque in memory of the man credited with the founding of modern Italy.It is often forgotten by those of us not familiar with Italy’s history that for most of the Christian era, the area was mainly a collection of city states with the Pope ruling the middle part, and foreign Emperors controlling the rest.
  In the 19th century, tired of often being ruled by distant and uninterested monarchs, there was a growing movement for It

• Ericsson and Nokia CEOs compare 5G sizes

  21-05-2019 14:41
  For some reason the CEOs of both Ericsson and Nokia have felt compelled to make public statements defending their 5G performance.
  In a piece headlined ‘Europe and 5G: Address the reality — not the myths’, Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm (pictured) indicated he’s not happy with claimed rumours that his company is a bit limp when it comes to 5G. You can see how that would chafe somewhat as Ericsson’s entire strategy hinges on it being a 5G stud, but Ekholm wasn&rs

• ZTE moves to prove its own security credentials

  21-05-2019 13:27
  Taking a page from the Huawei playbook, ZTE is opening its own European cybersecurity lab to demonstrate its own security credentials and appeal to customers.
  Although Huawei is taking a battering on the US side of the Atlantic, European nations have stubbornly stood by the side of reason and reasonable behaviour, asking for evidence before signing an execution order. One of the reasons for this will be the apparent transparency to security through its cybersecurity centres in the UK and Belgium

• US suspends Huawei ban for three months to help operators adapt

  21-05-2019 13:26
  The US Department of Commerce has given Huawei a three month license to buy US goods in order to lessen the disruption to US companies.
  The decision follows the news that a bunch of US companies, including Google, were going to stop doing business with Huawei. Not only would this do severe damage to the desirability of Huawei Android smartphones sold outside of China, but would have caused major disruption to any US companies that rely on working with Huawei.
  The DoC therefore decided to grant a

  Of all the great achievements of the 20th century, food has to be one of the greatest — not just the abundance of it, but how prices today are a fraction of what they used to cost.
  But at what cost to the environment?This is what the V&A looks at in its slightly hand-wringing exhibition about the food industry. Fortunately, rather than preach about things, they simply display and let you make up your own mind.
  Two of the greatest concerns that people express are looked at by the exhibi

  Plans to rebuild the rather disheveled White Hart Lane station were submitted nearly two years ago, and works to build the new station are underway.
  The rebuilding in part because, frankly it needed it, but mainly because a gigantic spaceship has landed just down the road in the form of the rebuilt football stadium, and the already overcrowded station is going to get worse.The tiny ticket hall is to be swept away and the outdoor staircase closed as an emergency escape, as two large “sheds&
