ACCESSING GROT ON PORNHUB will soon need an encrypted login for Brits to prove they're over 18-years-old. PornHub's owner Mindgeek this weekend revealed its UK plans for AgeID, an encrypted tool for users to unsurprisingly verify their age when accessing one of the largest porn sites in the world. Through the use of third-party age verification services, Mindgeek will effectively erect a gate-keeping system to keep people under the age of 18 away from accessing explicit content. Mindgeek noted that AgeID will not suck up any personal user data of would-be wankers. Instead, it will only swallow "standard technical data" to protect against illegitimate logins and fraud activity. However, there's an argument that users will have to put a fair bit of trust in Mindgeek and read the small print to be aware of exactly what data it is collected and how it plans to use it. After the Ashley Madison data breach, we suspect some grot-lovers will be a bit more aware of how sites access … [Read more...] about PornHub owner shows off AgeID gatekeeping system for the UK

Vodafone won’t rule out adding UK to Liberty Global ‘asset swap’
Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao has suggested that the UK could eventually become a topic of conversation in the ongoing ‘asset swaps’ between itself and Liberty Global.The two firms first held talks in 2015 but there was no exchange of assets.

Cooler Master MasterBox Q300 Series released in UK
Cooler Master has written to HEXUS to say that its new MasterBox Q300 Series chassis have hit retail. These are Micro ATX chassis (can also opt for a Micro-ITX motherboard) with room for full sized ATX PSUs and front radiators up to 240mm. Cooler Master chose to build these new chassis as it though that "case options in the mATX market aren’t as vast as our community would like." Matteo Stracciari, Case General Manager at Cooler Master, added that "People that want a compact, customizable gaming case can look forward to the Q300 Series". One of the particularly attractive qualities of the MasterBox Q300 series is how the I/O panel can be adjusted into one of six locations around the chassis. It is possible to configure it to reside on the front, top and bottom of both sides of the case. Such considerations can be very important to those fitting their PC system into a tight spot in the office. Cooler Master reckons the MasterBox Q300 Series chassis are a good choice for a small … [Read more...] about Cooler Master MasterBox Q300 Series released in UK
