The Internet has caused a lot of trouble. Now, according to Wired Magazine’s editor, today’s wealth of data has made the scientific method unnecessary. Others counter, saying the Internet is not the entire world, contrary to what Anderson may believe.

Euro 2008 is Holland’s playground. Their football gleams with confidence and, even when France rallied, a third goal was rustled up at once. With this victory Holland have won Group C, with Sweden possible opponents in the quarter-final. Wesley Sneijder’s lovely 20-yard shot in stoppage-time was a flourish to round off the night. Considering the im

Dubai’s sheikhs have claimed it is “the eighth wonder of the world”, and seen from space the tree-shaped sand and rock formation of the Palm Jumeirah looks exactly that. But after the hype and the novelty of living four miles out to sea has faded, that claim is starting to look shaky. It seems there is a little trouble in paradise.

A council yesterday admitted using laws designed to track serious criminals to spy on a family for nearly three weeks to find out if they were lying about living in a school catchment area.
The surveillance took place because the family put their house up for sale but lived in it until the end of January to ensure their daughter would qualify…
