INCIS computers lock out the police

There was a
police lockout on Tuesday afternoon. The police were locked
out of their IBM supplied computers when a component of
INCIS failed, Labour police spokesperson George Hawkins
said.
"The Police Master Security Server went down. It
meant police officers were unable to log on - the computer
didn't recognise their passwords.
"Officers who were
already logged in were asked to leave their terminals
switched on, and to handover to the next user.
"This
completely negated the reason for having a security system
in the first place.
"Stage one of INCIS, which is all the
police have ended up with after spending well over
$100
million, offers none of the 'bells and whistles' that police
were promised. But even this basic system is already falling
over.
"Ironically, it is IBM, which the Government is
taking to court, that has had to come in and to try and sort
out the problems," George Hawkins said.

Spotify has to be one of the most interestingly futile mouse-wheels of 21st century capitalism. Run, run, run goes the Spotify mouse but it never, ever makes a profit. For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
