Commodore 64 photo by Quagmire on Flickr

Dude! We find the 1980s to be mondo copacetic, so we are totally amped at the kick-ass meganews that Commodore is relaunching the Commodore 64 (Pictured above by Flickr's Quagmire)! A most triumphant way to spend £364!

Hello! The C64 was mung even then. Cool your jets. It just looks like a C64, but it righteously runs Windows 7 and you can get a Blu-ray player for it, which is a total head rush. So really the only genuine 1982 thing about it is the fugly beige box it comes in.

Bombdigity or buggin? You decide, if you understood a word of what we just said.

Does Google know too much about you?

Google's linked data policy, which came into effect on March 1, allows the company to collect information about its users across all its products, services and websites and store it in one place. This has been criticised by organisations ranging from CNIL to Microsoft, all of whom have expressed concerns that it's difficult to tell which data Google collects and how it's used. Now the Information Commissioner's Office is investigating whether Google's privacy policy is compliant with UK law. Are you worried that Google knows too much about you?
