Hey, good morning!

All things Facebook as Mark Zuckerberg faces tough questions. We also test out a tiny PC gaming powerhouse from Intel, see the rebirth of the PDA that no-one someone wanted and much more.

As expected, Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was on Capitol Hill yesterday to testify before the Senate Commerce and Judiciary Committees.

It's all thanks to the statute of limitations.

Here’s why a British politician will escape punishment for hacking a rival political party
 

Thanks to a silly statement made by the British prime minister, most UK politicians are now asked in interviews about the worst thing they’ve ever done. When MP Kemi Badenoch was handed the question, she confessed to something quite serious: hacking into the website of another politician. In an interview with Core Politics, published by the Mail on Sunday, the Conservative MP for Saffron Walden said she’d hacked into the website of Labour politician Harriet Harman "a decade ago."
