Computers

Andre Westerland the whizz kid

Growing up in Samoa, the now 20-year-old Andre says he has always had a passion for computers and technology.

“I first became exposed to technology and started using a computer when I was four years old, and ever since then, I have been fond of technology,” Andre explains.

This fascination with technology has led him to do a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, at Victoria University in Wellington after receiving a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) New Zealand Pacific Scholarship.

Ohio prison inmates 'built computers and hid them in ceiling'

They then hid them in the ceiling of a training room.

Investigators found software, pornography and articles about making drugs and explosives on the machines.

The discovery came after IT staff flagged unusual levels of internet activity on a contractor's account.

The PCs were found in 2015 but the case has only just been made public.

A report on the incident has been published by the Ohio Inspector General's Office and forwarded to the Ohio Ethics Commission and local officials.
