EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

For those working through the Christmas/New Year period, we'll be keeping you up-to-date over the next three days before returning at full steam in early January.

Today we have a fascinating war of words between representatives of the British banking sector and the school of security engineering at Cambridge University.

Also today - is performance everything? President Obama's science advisors have called on the US Government to look beyond the Top500 list to measure the nation's IT health.

-- Brett Winterford

FEATURED COMMENT

"TPG make it quite clear that their unlimited ADSL2+ service is conditional on a bundled $30 landline rental. I can't see the problem - consumers are well informed as to the deal. The unlimited ADSL2+ component of the deal is indeed $29.99 and nobody is misled. This is another case of heavy-handed garbage from the ACCC, who should be going after the real shonks in the IT indusctry. "
