E-Identity Hacking

consumer reports electronic passport french This consumer reports on the product recall implications if new smart-card enabled passports and identity cards are hacked.

Can you imagine the "product recall" scenario in this case ? This would be huge in Belgium where last year in May more than 600.000 e-ID cards had been distributed.

Island Of Waste

consumer reports bermuda This consumer reports on Bermuda, pollution, water heaters, and energy dependence.

Electricity is also being wasted, with the unfortunate by product of pollution to boot. The Bermuda Sun has a bit in their opinion section where a reader has some good ideas to cut down on the electricity bill. Today I’ll be purchasing CFL bulbs and phasing out the old ones as they burn out, as well as lowering the thermostat on the water heaters. The only side effect is a lower electricity bill after all. If people were to do this, in conjunction with Belco’s underwater turbine initiative, then Bermuda’s dependency on fossil fuels will be lower. Less pollution, less waste.
