I heard about this new toy on a podcast, and more recently on The Ethical Hacker Community, and thought it would make an funny post for you guys to look at.

We all know we leave in a world of terror, and what better way to be get our children acustomed to this, than acting it out with their Playmobil Security Check Point playset.

Check this out on Amazon.com, and read the comical reviews.

Great lesson for the kids!,

I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”. But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).

Like myself, I am sure many people out there have a Windows Mobile enabled phone, and a mobile Internet tariff package to suit.

Well you may find you want to share the Internet connection with your PC, or NetBook. You can of course use USB or BlueTooth, but what if you have issues say if your using Linux, or you want to share the connection with multiple people.

It is possible, and I have been using this software for over a year on my HTC TyTnII. This excellent software is WMWifi Router.

Its been around since 2006, and it might not be to everyones taste, but The IT Crowd it funny and very often cringeworthy if you work in the magical world of IT. Overtime I have also found the theme music kinda catchy, so if different ringtones are your thing, I have uploaded the title music mp3 for you to download. IT Crowd Theme Tune

IT Crowd Magic

Extract from Wikipedia
The IT Crowd is set in the offices of Reynholm Industries, a fictitious British corporation in central London. It focuses on the shenanigans of the three-strong IT support team located in a dingy, untidy and unkempt basement — a stark contrast to the shining modern architecture and stunning London views enjoyed by the rest of the organisation. The obscurity surrounding what the company does serves as a running gag throughout the series — all that is known is that the company bought and sold ITV and once made part-year profits of “eighteen hundred billion billion”. The team consists of what Douglas Reynholm describes as “a dynamic go-getter (Jen), a genius (Moss) and a man from Ireland (Roy)”.

Moss and Roy, the two technicians, are portrayed as socially inept geeks or, in Denholm Reynholm’s words, “standard nerds”. Despite the company’s dependence on their services, they are despised, ignored, and considered losers by the rest of the staff. Roy’s exasperation is reflected in his support techniques of ignoring the phone in the hope it will stop ringing, and using reel-to-reel tape recordings of stock IT suggestions (“Have you tried turning it off and on again?” and “Are you sure it’s plugged in?”). Moss’s wide and intricate knowledge of all things technical is reflected in his extremely accurate yet utterly indecipherable suggestions, while demonstrating a complete inability to deal with practical problems like extinguishing fires and removing spiders.

Jen, the newest member of the team, is hopelessly non-technical, despite claiming on her CV that she has “a lot of experience with computers”. As Denholm, the company boss, is equally tech-illiterate, he’s convinced by Jen’s interview bluffing and appoints her head of the IT department. Her official title is “relationship manager”, yet her attempts at bridging the gulf between the technicians and the business generally have the opposite effect, landing Jen in situations just as ludicrous as those of her team-mates.
