| Life Logging - Is It Worth The Effort? (Part 6) |
| Aviva’s app is even less forthcoming. It dishes out badges such as “Corner Master” (for smooth steering), or “Brake Master” (for not slapping on the anchors too heavily) - but I failed to earn any of these on my two test trips. For full feedback and an Aviva Drive score, I have to wait until I’ve clocked up 200 miles. |

| The heyday of P2P networks and unlawful downloads may be over, but that doesn’t mean legal action for sharing or reusing copyright material is going away. The rise of YouTube, blogs and other outlets means lawyers still have plenty on their plates. |

| Your Online Habits Could Land You In Prison (Part 1) |
| The internet has given rise to new crimes – from hacking and bank fraud to eBay scams – but it’s also created a new kind of troublemaker: the accidental criminal. No-one would be surprised by an early-morning knock on the door if they’d hacked an online banking site, but the reach of the web means it’s never been easier for otherwise well-behaved citizens to break the law inadvertently. |

| Group Test Computer Desks March 2014 (Part 5) - Interlink Alexis Standing Desk |
| Not everyone owns or works with a base unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Believe it or not, some people actually prefer to conduct their computing business via a laptop. While this means you can take your PC anywhere and drop it on a kitchen table to work on, it does take away some of the benefits that a dedicated laptop desk can offer. |
