I found this question interesting:

Q: I would have assumed military contractors would use more secure networks to communicate.

New Post!

If you think only little kids get scolded, then you haven't seen iPhone. In the U.K, the new Iphone 3G ad which displays speed as really fast. In plain details, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in U.K put a ban on the new advertisment from iPhone showing the new iPhone 3G surfing the web at a fraction of a second, which 17 constumers says is misleading. iPhone in its defense said that the speed varied in different places, but ASA said that not everyone will undestand the techincal details. This isn't the 1st time either that they have got scolded at, it was the same with the iPhone 2G which claimed that users could view all the web contents but in fact, users couldn't use Flash and Java. So you see, even big companies get scolded at. Read more @http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10108679-37.html?tag=newsEditorsPicksArea.0 and don't forget to comment.
