Santa, it is rumoured, checks if children are naughty or nice before giving them a gift. In the United States, the Salvation Army has a different take on this — they check to see if a child is a citizen of the United States before giving a gift. Non-citizens are, I suppose, naughty by nature.

I live in London, and love it. But I also love photography and the two often do not mix. For instance, official photographers for TV shows who have obtained prior permission to shoot pictures and are taking photos of cars (as opposed to anything that could possibly be sensitive information) get hassled by the London police so much that they simply prefer to have their shoots elsewhere. Such things should be unbelievable — unfortunately, they are true.

Errata: In yesterday’s morning coffee, we reported that Microsoft had upgraded their blue screen of death to a black screen of death. The source of this information has since recanted, and it now appears that your black screen of death is caused by malware, which is presumably not supplied by Microsoft. We apologize for spreading this malicious rumour and beg your forgiveness.
