defrogMy other favorite headline of the last 48 hours:
Which sounds awesome ... until you realize the “supercomputer” is a Major Incident Investigation and Disaster Support System (MIDSS) that the police use to crunch data in serial killer cases to try and detect patterns that could generate leads.
