Google are now trialing more sophisticated sponsored locations, including company logo and url. As noted before, we should not be surprised by this, the basic Google business model is built on advertising, expected to be worth $7.5b next year, and there is no such thing as a free map !!

Is that a laptop in your bag ?
Peter Cochrane this week in his blog, talks about the potential of technology such as Iris scanning to spend up the process of security checks at airports.
As someone who has passed through Heathrow a couple of times in the last month, what I want to understand is what has gone wrong with the x-ray machines, that laptops now need to be screened outside of their bags. The BAA website is now warning of the potential delays caused by the change.
I know this has been the case in the USA since 9/11, but then the TSA also x-ray your shoes and confiscate plastic toy dinosaurs !!
You would think with the sophistication of modern x-ray machines a few millimetres of nylon bag would not confuse them – or maybe I’m missing something ?
