It is pitch dark as I type this at 5.40pm, the sun having long since set. The weather today was wet, windy and cold, a maximum of 7C / 45F just being achieved. Nothing to write home about. Having a quiet day, with a bit of reading and catching up. I am currently going through "A Shilling for your Scowl", about abuse of power by one man - who was allowed to do so by the establishment in the mid-19th century in the Isle of Lewis. He held 32 public offices at the same time, some patently incompatible with being held by one man.
A couple is suing McDonalds after images on a phone they accidentally left behind in one of their stores appeared on the internet. Nude ones. McDonalds had promised to secure the phone, but something leaked. Cautionary tale: if you put compromising material on your phone, either lock it or take it off as soon as possible.
I did read about this, Guido. A lesson to be learned to all that have pics on a cell phone. Phones are very easy to misplace. Another lesson to be learned is finding a cell phone and leaking pictures. You will be found. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when VHS camera/recorders were the latest thing. The then sheriff of a northern Kansas county turned in a rental VHS camera with the tape still inside. The tape revealed the sheriff and his wife in flagrante delicto doing private things. Needless to say the man lost his office.
ReplyDeleteThe moral is, if you don't want it shown to the public, don't record it anywhere - on anything. One of these days they are going to invent the MINDREADER. After that we won't even be able to think mildly naughty thoughts.
