Free, or just under remote control?

Article Abstract:

There are now 1.27 million teleworkers in the UK, covering many different professions. Most are employed permanently by a company, but work away from the premises. It is essential to have good communication facilities, and an Internet link can be a considerable advantage. Teleworking can lead to cost savings for employers, while for the workers themselves the advantages include flexibility and a quieter working environment. However, there can also be problems, including the lack of an immediate work community and the temptation to work very long hours.

Soon they'll see that it's you at a stroke

Article Abstract:

Countermatch, a software package designed by AEA Technology, is currently being tested by Employment Services offices in Liverpool and Newcastle. Claimants are being requested to sign on using an electronic pen connected to a digitising tablet and a computer, and the signature can then be compared with the 'signature template' held for that claimant on the database. There have been some problems with genuine signatures being rejected by the system, but AEA is hopeful that it will have widespread applications in detecting fraudulent signatures.

Old computers don't die, they just get recycled

Article Abstract:

There is now very strong demand for computers made up of recycled secondhand parts, and competition between brokers of unwanted computer equipment has become fierce. Even scrapped parts can have a value, as they can be reused in other products. Bits that cannot be sold whole may contain useful gold, silver, platinum, steel, aluminium or copper.
