15nd September 2006 | Issue 560 - GATES-CRASHER - Bill Gates and Microsoft have climbed to the top of the computer industry though sheer ruthless corporate behaviour.

Govt to spend big money on database for NHS - instead of employing more nurses...

21st Jan 2005 | Issue 481 - IT GO HOME - Rather than recruit more nurses and pay them a decent wage, or build a few more hospitals, the government in its infinite wisdom has decided to spend anywhere between £18-£31 billion over the next ten years on a new computer system for the Health Service.

RFiD chips

30th May 2003 | Issue 407 - GET YER ROCKS OFF! - “In Iraq, there was a government holding valuable resources the U.S. could not control. So the U.S. took action.

Genetic screening goes mad

30th June 2000 | Issue 264 - GENE GENIE - On Monday scientists announced to media hysteria that they had cracked the entire ‘genome sequence’ for human beings- and no, we didn’t know what it meant either. Basically a 3-billion-character long ‘Book of Life’, the genome sequence is our entire DNA blueprint; it contains every scrap of genetic information that goes into our make-up. The colour of our eyes, the gingerness of our hair- it’s all in there.
