EDITOR'S NOTE
|
|
Good afternoon,
Today we offer a think piece by former editor Liz Tay, concerned with the ethical questions that must be asked when IT is created or sold for 'evil' purposes.
There's also a story on the short - but nonetheless successful - attacks on the Prime Minister's web site overnight. We also report some security fixes released by Apple, which have been lost in the buzz around Steve Jobs' appearance on stage.
Here at iTnews, we're all about sifting through the noise to get you the stories you need. How are we doing? Fill in the 2009 iTnews Readership Survey now and you'll go into the draw to win $500!
-- Brett Winterford
