Precisely. It's bad practice on the part of the retailer, and if I were in their shoes I'd refund the customer immediately as a gesture of goodwill. That said, it does not appear to be malicious, and ultimately the customer bears

Both parties are clearly in the wrong here. Fast Company should ensure the product selection doesn't reset to default when the form is submitted and returns an error. The customer should double-check their order before hitting submit.

Nope. They make $$$$ by having the option checked by default, and every now and then a customer fails to check their order before submitting it.

That implies the site itself was hacked, when it was not. It appears the .ps domain registry was hacked.

Exactly. Instead of showing up Google, these hackers (assuming they are indeed Palestinians) have just shown up their own domain registry.

It sounds awfully romantic, but who needs it? Give your kid a tablet, and they have instant access to more books, films, television shows, etc. than you could ever hope to fit in your home. Why flick through an atlas when you have services

If this scandal has taught us anything, it's that the services you use don't matter. You have to assume everything sent over HTTP(S) is insecure. If it cannot be MITMd now, it can be stored and decrypted later. Even if you connect

The Bindmans website [1] has the wording of the injunction. The national security exemption allows the authorities to continue to do whatever they please (specifically: inspect, copy, disclose, transfer, distribute) with the materials seize

I don't see what you mean. The wording of the article has changed since I quoted it, but the meaning is the same; the material "can only be examined for national security purposes, judges say." The police seized the material

Note the exception -- "(...) except for the purposes of national security." In other words, this injunction isn't worth the paper it's written on...

It does sound exactly like the type of goading comment a government official would make to a journalist off the record.

Is this article not mistaken in referring to Miranda as a "Guardian employee"?
