Hello folks

A couple if items in this week's New Scientist may be of interest.

One [1] suggests that USB hardware can be used as a Trojan horse to
steal your data.

And the other [2] claims that Google biasses its search results in
favour of its own sites. For example Google's YouTube gets higher
ranking than competitor PhotoBucket.
