"Campaigning group Human Rights Watch has petitioned King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to halt the execution by beheading of a "witch" who in 2006 was convicted of "witchcraft, recourse to jinn [supernatural beings], and slaughter of animals".
...
"The conviction was based on the testimony of several witnesses who said she'd bewitched them, including one who claimed she'd made him impotent."
Ha-ha-ha! Our Saudi friends and allies in the War on Terror... Those whacky nuts!

"Virgin Media customers have been suffering email outages for several days, prompting the firm to call in Microsoft engineers to help with an urgent upgrade.
"A mysterious configuration problem was identified on one of VM's eight email server clusters last Wednesday. Microsft engineers have struggled to identify the cause, forcing several reboots."
Maybe they should get rid of the MSFT toy mail systems and switch to grown up software. Will people ever learn? Nope.
