BBC Southampton (#)

  „The commercial Christmas is a fairly new phenomenon here; until recently children got their presents at Epiphany, January 6th. The main celebration is Christmas Eve dinner, where the traditional fare might be bruschette, tortellini in brodo (small stuffed pasta in chicken broth), a guinea fowl, and golden sponge cake pannetone. Afterwards, midnight mass. Cordiali Saluti!“

BBC NEWS | Health | Caffeine 'does not raise blood pressure'

  „"This demonstrates how little we know about the effects of one of our most popular beverages and the most abundantly consumed stimulant worldwide." The researchers measured blood pressure, heart rate and nervous system activity in 15 healthy volunteers. Six were habitual coffee drinkers and nine either abstained or drank coffee only occasionally. The volunteers were given either a full strength triple espresso, a decaffeinated version, an intravenous injection of caffeine or a placebo. Both types of espresso stimulated a significant jump in blood pressure among those who were not regular coffee drinkers.“

BBC News | BUSINESS | Microsoft software 'stolen'

  „They did in fact access the source codes - you bet this is an issue of great importance Steve Ballmer, Microsoft The hackers gained access to the source code, or blueprints, of Microsoft's Windows-based software, which is estimated to run on about 90% of the world's PCs. But Microsoft's president and chief executive, Steve Ballmer, insisted they had not been able to tamper with any of the company's key programs. He said: "It is clear that hackers did see some of our source code. "I can assure you that we know there has been no compromise of the integrity of the source code; that it has not been modified or tampered with in any way." Serious consequences Microsoft's abuse of its near monopoly and refusal to share its source code have been at the centre of a long-running and bitter legal battle with the US authorities.“
