The invasion of the body scanners continues. Feel violated? Doesn’t matter – there’s no parliament to debate anything. Even worse, more self-conscious people will be filling your gym this January.

If you’ve got a spare $35 billion, you can save journalism by the estimates of the authors of recent tome, The Death and Life of American Journalism. Of course there’s always hope Apple will save the news.[rssbreak]
