Linked – Police forces ‘overwhelmed’ by digital evidence, watchdog finds

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

“Some police forces in England and Wales risk being “overwhelmed” by the volume of digital evidence being collected, the police watchdog has warned.

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary said many forces had a “significant gap” in digital skills.

It said there were sometimes “unacceptable delays” in basic tasks like getting data off a mobile phone.

Minister Brandon Lewis said: “The public expect the police to reform to meet the challenges of modern crime.””

This story is from the UK, but really it could be anywhere. It’s not just corporations that have a ton of data to deal with in eDiscovery or an investigation, everyone has a ton of data nowadays.

A few years back I did a presentation for an eDiscovery audience about the abundance of data, and showed them how I could produce almost 5TB of data just from what was in my house, or in cloud backups.

It’s probably closer to 10TB now.

Flipboard Magazines as Google Reader Replacement

Since I’ve been playing around a bit with creating a Flipboard magazine, I’ve been giving this some thought. Now, don’t get me wrong, at it’s core Google Reader was an RSS reader, and there’s no way I could replace the simplicity of following 200+ feeds in Reader with following 200+ magazines on Flipboard. Reader also…

Linked: Three shockingly obvious ways to make flying less miserable

It’s all those little unknown things that make us anxious when traveling, and the more anxiety that is built into the process, the less we enjoy it, and the more exhausting it is. I think that is an important lesson for airlines, but it’s also an important lesson for many people in a variety of service industries. Needing a lawyer, working with an accountant, etc. have always been things that most of us aren’t used to navigating, so there’s anxiety involved. Now, simple things like getting a haircut have become more complicated, and involve a lot more anxiety. Employees are also navigating things that they are not used to, maybe working from home, or working onsite but having to navigate all of these new safety protocols, and dealing with customers who are also dealing with all of their own anxieties all day.
