Homeopathy ‘treatments’ must be labelled to say they do not work, US government orders | The Independent

Homeopathy ‘treatments’ must be labelled to say they do not work, US government orders | The Independent:

“Now, the US government is requiring that producers of such items ensure that if they want to claim they are effective treatments, then they need to make available the proof. Otherwise, they will need to point out that there is “no scientific evidence that the product works”.”

“To believe homeopathy works … is to believe in magic.”

It’s about time they cracked down on those charlatans. It’s amazing how homeopaths have been allowed to lie to the public and peddle concoctions that have not an ounce of evidence behind their efficacy or safety without any oversight. More countries need to do this.

Yes, the article is from November last year, but I just came across it. It’s surprising it has not had more coverage. This is the press release from the FTC’s website.

The Case of the Stolen Source Code

Panic Blog » The Case of the Stolen Source Code:

“…no matter how experienced you might be with computers, you’re human, and mistakes are easily made.”

Steven Frank from Panic (publishers of some of my favourite Mac and iOS apps) had his work Mac compromised during the Handbrake malware hack (not made by Panic), and as a result some source code was stolen. Here’s his story.

Good news is, no customer data appears to have been compromised.
