DesignIT 2007 award

Computing has teamed up with Microsoft to launch a competition where IT professionals can win £15,000 to create an innovative IT system to help a charity of your choice.

The DesignIT award is about recognising the IT community for its innovation and demonstrating how it can be used to benefit a charity in the UK.

Last year, DesignIT winner Tim Oldham used his £15,000 on a project to help pupils, parents and teachers at Coddington Court, a school for autistic children in the west Midlands – see next week’s Computing for details of how the money was spent.

To enter the competition, go to the DesignIT web site at http://www.microsoft.com/uk/technet/designit, and look out for a series of articles on the project in Computing in the next few weeks.

Will Google’s new privacy policy impact how you use its services?

Google recently said will consolidate more than 60 of its privacy policies into one, unifying customer data across most of its products. The announcement has met with a backlash in the US, while EU officials have asked Google to put its plans on hold so it can assess the privacy impact for users. Will you consider not using Google in the future as a result?
