‘Careless Facebook generation risking data breaches’

London, Oct 29 : “Facebook generation” is too careless with technology and personal information held on databases, says a British Information watchdog.

He said that the number of data losses reported to his office has almost doubled in the past six months.

As many as 177 cases were reported between April and November this year, compared to 100 cases earlier.

Eighty of the 277 breaches were by private sector organisations, 75 NHS and other health bodies, 28 by central government, 26 by local authorities and 47 by other public sector organisations.

Nuclear-powered passenger aircraft ‘to transport millions’ in future

London, Oct 29 : A scientist has predicted that later this century, nuclear-powered aircraft will be transporting millions of passengers around the world.

According to a report in The Times, the scientist in question is Ian Poll, Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Cranfield University, and head of technology for the Government-funded Omega project.

Because the aircraft will no longer need to land to refuel, it might mean non-stop flights from London to Australia or New Zealand.

The flights will also produce no carbon emissions and therefore make no contribution to global warming.

Professor Poll is calling for a big research programme to help the aviation industry convert from fossil fuels to nuclear energy.
