PATCH
Internet Explorer
Keeping with matters Microsoft, the software giant has released an "out of cycle" patch for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 which fixes the vulnerability that was used to hack Google and other companies systems from China.

The latest group blog from academics looking at the rather dire state of our economy and the efforts of our Government to address it through Nama.
