Our Banner of the Week pays tribute to South African sprinter Wayde van Niekerk. This remarkable athlete is the world - and Olympic champion in the 400m, and also holds the world record over the distance. Last week he broke the world record over the unusual 300m distance, a record that had endured for 17 years. He is the only sprinter in history to have run the 100 m in under 10 seconds, the 200 m in under 20 seconds and the 400 m in under 44 seconds.

The
simplicity of the phones of yore had its charms, of course, and there
are hordes of people to whom "old school" sounds just about right. One
of those is European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, who
roundly admits that he has not yet made the huge leap towards acquiring
a smartphone. An old Nokia serves him just fine, thank you very
much. He jokingly said that he used postcards as his means
of communication when launching the EU presidency of tech-savvy Estonia.

Back
to what's new. Now that everyone else has their new flagships out
in the open, all eyes are focused on Apple with their traditional
later-in-the year launch of the iPhone 8. Like all their models in pre-launch phase,
the newcomer has been the subject of unrelenting speculation, and now a
secret-not-secret video has surfaced of just what it would look like.

Anyone
that has a few kids in the house or a semi-pack of rambunctious dogs in
the yard knows ho challenging it can be to keep matters from spiralling
out of control. How much more so for a behemoth like Facebook,
where the users able to create online havoc are north of a billion in
count. There is also a fine line to tread, for Facebook subscribes to
the principle of freedom of speech, but not where such is damaging or
potentially harmful. Keeping on top of it all, of course,
requires an effort even beyond the capabilities of our Supersecretary,
Mrs. Cholmondely-Smythe. The company has some automated filters
and a phalanx of moderations, and here is an idea of how they determine
what is hate speech and what not. It is a huge job, as anyone who has
ever posted something mildly contentious in any online forum would
quickly have discovered.

Facebook
is more about positive experiences that negative ones, of course, and
the company is policy driven to ensure that everyone across the globe
gets connected. Their own orbit-based service provision will of course go a long way
towards achieving this, but their first effort went up in a puff
of Space-X smoke during a mysterious explosion on the launch pad.
There are more immediate things they can do, though, and one of these
is to point users to the nearest free wi-fi. There are other similar
apps of course, but Facebook's all -encompassing reach will in all
probability make their offering all the more useful.
