Foreign Ministry data lost due to failed hard drive

A major chunk of the Greek Foreign Ministry’s email correspondence records is no longer available due to hard drive failure, Skai reported late Tuesday.

According to Skai, the failed hard drive contained data, including confidential electronic documents, dating 2005 onwards. The ministry has kept no backup copies of the data, the report said.

David McGreavy: Man who murdered three children to be freed from prison after Parole Board finds him 'changed'
Mother of murdered children brands decision a 'betrayal' after horrific killings

A man who murdered three children and hung their mutilated bodies on a fence is to be released from prison.

The Parole Board found David McGreavy has “changed considerably” since the 1973 killings, which earned him the nickname the “monster of Worcester”.

He had been living with the children’s parents when he was left to look after Paul Ralph, four, and his sisters Dawn, two, and nine-month-old Samantha in their home.

McGreavy, who was drunk, said he killed baby Samantha first because she would not stop crying and then murdered the other children.

After mutilating their bodies, he hung their bodies on a fence in a neighbour’s garden and left.

Microsoft Replacing Edge With New Chromium-based Browser

According to reports, Microsoft is abandoning development of Microsoft Edge and instead focusing on a new Chromium-based browser under the codename Anaheim.

Microsoft is said to be developing its own Chromium-based browser that will replace Microsoft edge in Windows 10. While it will be powered by the rendering engine which is currently used in other Chromium browsers and presumably support existing Chrome extensions, it will not include any Google services.

The only concern I have is that with the ability to run Chrome extension, Windows users will also be exposed to the endless amount of unwanted and malicious browser extensions that plague the Chrome ecosystem.
