BBC BASIC Breakfast
I've seen more than one person describe this report from the BBC asking 'Can you crack the cyber-crime code?' as patronising.
I have to say, though, that it gave me a genuine laugh out loud moment this morning, when I saw that someone had convinced Kevin Streater, an Executive Director in the Open University's IT & Telecoms Sector, to type in everybody's favourite first BASIC program. On national television.
10 PRINT "Kevin Streater"
20 GOTO 10
