Any issued cards are now unusable with databases set to be destroyed within days
The much criticised ID cards scheme is finally dead and buried after the government revealed on Friday that any cards issued can no longer be used to prove identity or travel within Europe.
A brief statement on the Home Office web site explained that the final nail in the coffin would come "within days" when the National Identity Register, the database designed to hold the card details, will be destroyed.
Tomorrow April 1, is D-Day for Conficker, as whatever nasty payload it’s packing is currently set to activate. What happens come midnight is a mystery: Will it turn the millions of infected computers into spam-sending zombie robots? Or will it start capturing everything you type — passwords, credit card numbers, etc. — and send that information back to its masters?
Windows Live OneCare 2.5 is now available on Microsoft Connect for folks to start testing.So what’s new with Windows Live OneCare 2.5? After installing the Beta myself, I didn’t notice anything different over the non-Beta version. I decided to ping the Windows Live OneCare team to see what we can expect with Windows Live OneCare 2.5. They tell me that the Windows Live OneCare 2.5 release is mainly what they call an "under-the-hood" release. That means that we won’t see any big new features like the great OneCare Circle introduced in 2.0. Going forward with the Windows Live OneCare 2.5 Beta – continue to expect the improvements and changes to remain "under-the-hood" and not very noticeable in the UI.
