October 13, 2008 HOP I'm a little surprised at the way the "resignation" of the Royal Bank of Scotland Chief executive is being reported today . Anyone would think Sir Robin Bastard had tearfully offered to fall on his sword complete with a full and frank apology and an explanation as to why his lust for greed and ambivalence towards savers' money had led under his stewardship to the near collapse of a mighty institution. But no. He walks away still able to survive on a £580,000-a-year pension - and he won't be handing back his multi-million pound bonuses from the past few years, either. Same goes for the rest of them. The Observer's leader column yesterday succinctly explained how the banks had always presumed they were too powerful to be allowed to fail, and were proved right. It also mapped out how things should work in future, and how that that should start at the very least with an apology from the senior banking executives and a clear strategy of this should not be allowed to happen again. Chances? Slim... SKIP Then there's Peter Mandelson, who is get a cool £1 million in a payoff and pension bonanza from the European Commission for working there a whole four years. "Commission officials said the fact that Mandelson had quit before the end of his five-year term in charge of EU Trade policy made 'no difference' to his entitlements. Any commissioner who has served more than three and fewer than five years can take 50 per cent of t ... Source: www.b92.net --- 34 days ago

Europe's Trade Chief said on Monday he saw some flexibility in talks over a dispute that scuppered a push for a global Trade pact in July, but he stressed it was still too early to tell if a deal could be done.

It’ll be two months until regulators within the European Commission responsible for issues concerning data protection will hold a hearing with U.S.-based search engines with reference to data retention timelines. But already those with the job of oversight are expressing frustration with services - Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft in particular - which have so far failed to comply with a limit set earlier this year. The EC demands that they implement a six-months-then-delete program. The Federal Trade Commission in the U.S., meanwhile, is only projected to issue voluntary guidelines on the matter. Kevin J. O’Brien of the International Herald Tribune quotes French data protection Chief as saying that, “For the moment, Google refuses to submit to European data protection law.” Which irks those services operating in the EU which do in fact comply with EC regulations. One of them being Ixquick , a service featured here this summer . Ixquick claims a query deletion process of just 48 hours. Google, on the other hand, pledges to do so within 9 months (down from an 18-month standard as of last month ), while Yahoo holds information for 13 months and Microsoft for 18. In light of this disparity, Ixquick CEO Robert Beens said, “…the value of the information we derive for advertisers is not as great as that of our competitors, who use the extra time to develop more detailed profiles. We have a slight competitive disadvantage as a result.” Goog ...
