For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/news/story/gravitational_waves_detected_100_years_after_einsteins_prediction Posted from WordPress for →

For almost three decades monitors, computers and multiple televisions have found to have a VGA connector. A Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a three-row 15-pin DE-15 connector. The 15-pin VGA connector is found on many video cards, computer monitors, and high definition television sets. VGA connectors and cables carry analog component RGBHV (red, green, →

After getting shut down late last year, a website that allows free access to paywalled academic papers has sprung back up in a shadowy corner of the Internet. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/02/the-research-pirates-of-the-dark-web/461829/ Posted from WordPress for Android →

According to a report from 2015, 179 game studios have been established between 2011 and 2014 and 69% of the Finnish game studios are less than five years old.

Palo Alto Networks refers to this advanced new malware as T9000. They’re convinced its primary function is to gather intelligence. Not →

In what feels like a fairly historic moment, Intel has effectively called an end to the long-running Moore’s Law. The Law itself dictates that transistor density on chips will double every 18 months to two years, effectively doubling the performance capabilities. Not so anymore according to Intel executive VP William Holt, who admitted as much →

Implantable medical devices usually have to trade smarts for size. The hardest thing to shrink isn’t the processor. It’s actually the radio, says Blaauw. Last week at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, Blaauw and fellow engineers David Wentzloff and Yao Shi showed a prototype injectable radio with a volume of just →

In the rock-paper-scissors game of technology, the Internet of Things beats cryptography. This is the conclusion of a new Harvard Law School report focusing on the FBI’s claims that increasing levels of cryptography in consumer devices means that law enforcement loses. The report retorts that even if cryptography closes some doors, new Internet-connected devices and →
