War for Space Toilet as the strategic resink
The International Space Station, once a place where astronauts would share food and facilities, is said to be embroiled in a Cold War-like stand-off after a Russian cosmonaut complained he is no longer allowed to use a US toilet or the US gym machine.

Western internet censorship: The beginning of the end
Over the last two years, Wikileaks has exposed detailed secret government censorship lists or plans for over eight countries, including Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Germany. Although Wikileaks' main site has been censored by the Chinese Public Security Bureau since early 2007, last week saw the site placed onto a secret list of sites "forbidden" by the Australian Media and Communications Authority, or ACMA.
The pro-censorship governments exposed by Wikileaks can be divided into three broad categories:
- Countries with a mandatory censorship system in place: Thailand, the UAE, and Lebanon (films).
- Countries proposing a mandatory censorship system: Australia and Germany.
- Countries in which the internet censorship system is an unregulated agreement between several large ISPs and the police: Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Australia and Germany are the only liberal democracies proposing a mandatory internet censorship regime.

Pentagon monitors even people from the dirigable
The giant dirigible would use radar to closely and constantly monitor activity on the ground from 65,000 feet.Reporting from Washington -- The Pentagon said Thursday that it intends to spend $400 million to develop a giant dirigible that will float 65,000 feet above the Earth for 10 years, providing unblinking and intricate radar surveillance of the vehicles, planes and even people below.
Needless to say , it is of course democratic monitoring.
Deja vue
Mr P, an 80-year-old Polish émigré and former engineer, knew he had memory problems, but it was his wife who described it as a permanent sense of déjà vu. He refused to watch TV or read a newspaper, as he claimed to have seen everything before. When he went out walking he said the same birds sang in the same trees and the same cars drove past at the same time every day. His doctor said he should see a memory specialist, but Mr P refused. He was convinced that he had already been.Sunday, March 29, 2009
All US capital is rotten !
The U.S. banking system could face more than $1 trillion of writedowns and losses. By some estimates, that amount is roughly equal to the capital in the system.
If all capital in the system is writedown what will left for circulation? That sum os dollars printing machine will produce. Scary inflation scenario. And don't forget dollar is World's currency.
Deja vue in Germany?

Not an April's Fools: No more dollar as the world's currency ?
In an essay published Monday, the head of China's central bank proposed a plan to displace the American dollar as the world's standard and replace it with a global reserve currency operated from the International Monetary Fund."Calling the use of the dollar as the world's benchmark currency 'a rare special case in history,' Zhou urged the 'creative reform of the existing international monetary system towards an international reserve currency.' Zhou said the reserve currency, managed by the IMF, should be 'disconnected from individual nations and is able to remain stable in the long run.'"
The IMF would operate such a currency via its "Special Drawing Right," created in 1969 with "the potential to act as a super-sovereign reserve currency," reported Times Online.
In remarks earlier Monday, one of Mr. Zhou's deputies, Hu Xiaolian, also said that the dollar's dominant position in international trade and investment is unlikely to change in the near future.

3. Cisco employee on Twitter spots the post and promptly responds.
4. Dude blocks his Twitter updates (hides them from public view)… but it’s too late. The damage is done, and he probably spends most of the day wondering if Cisco will now rethink its job offer.

(C)Ray tracing breakthrough
LONDON — Caustic Graphics Inc. (San Francisco, Calif.) is a startup company that claims to have made a breakthrough in the hardware acceleration of ray-traced graphics. Caustic said it's first-generation technology will deliver an average 20-fold increase in the speed used to create 3-D imagery for film and video, game development, as well as automotive and consumer product design. The second generation of Caustic's technology, due early in 2010, is expected to gain an additional order of magnitude in performance, offering a 200 times speed-up over current graphics products.

We are all aliens on Earth !
Long time suspected, now finally proved. Our basic building blocks are from the the outer space. What that fact has in common with Bible's description of life origins? Sadly, nothing. What more: no water, no symmetry breaking needed for life to start.Some have suggested that polarised starlight preferentially destroyed right-handed amino acids on asteroids. But this alone couldn't explain why the meteorite bias is so strong.
Now Glavin and colleague Jason Dworkin have shown that water amplified the asymmetry.
They studied an amino acid called isovaline in six meteorites that showed evidence of ancient exposure to liquid water for about 1000 to 10,000 years. The longer water persisted in the rock, the stronger its left-handed isovaline bias, the team found.
Ericsson pushes VDSL2 data transfers above 500Mbps
Ericsson has achieved data transfer rates of more than 500Mbps in what it said is the world's first live demonstration of a new VDSL2-based technology.
Vectorised VDSL2 is said to enable extremely high end-to-end transmission rates, improving VDSL2 performance by reducing noise originating from the other copper pairs in the same cable bundle.

The US bonds are not quite secure?
China PM expressed concern that massive US deficit spending and near-zero interest rates could erode the value of China's bond holdings. China is the biggest holder of US government debt and has invested an estimated 70 per cent of its $2 trillion stockpile of foreign exchange reserves, the world's largest, in dollar assets.
"We have lent a massive amount of capital to the United States, and of course we are concerned about the security of our assets," Wen said.
What will happen if China pull out its capital out of the USA, one day? This strange hybrid relationship between the free capitalism and communism seems well, quite unstable if not dead born in the long term. What if Obama's bailout fix fail the next year?

Is Capitalism still working?
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the American economy was in crisis after years of stagflation (Bill Gates was in jail about that time). Mortgage rates were 17%, business loans carried 20% interest rates and productivity had collapsed. On April 21, 1980, Time magazine ran a cover story that asked the question: "Is Capitalism Working?" Today, the crisis that the American economic system faces is greater than that during the darkest days of stagflation. In this opinion piece, George M. Taber, former business editor of Time magazine and author of the 1980 cover story, asks and answers the same question -- 29 years later.Monday, March 09, 2009

Republicans now realize importance of the digital age technologies
In the Republican Party's ongoing struggle to build an online political machine to rival the formidable new media operation fielded by Barack Obama in 2008, many conservatives pinned their hopes on Cyrus Krohn, the 38-year-old alumnus of Microsoft and Yahoo who was heading up the Republican National Committee's e-campaign efforts.
Born in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin, the GOP stood in opposition to the Democrat Party which encouraged the expansion of slavery.

USA bailout: The insiders raiding the till while there is still money in it.
We are learning what it is like to live in an Orwell novel. Our television screens are filled with people offering choices between idiotic and suicidal option A and idiotic and suicidal option B. We are being told that we must at least partially nationalize our banks, prop up zombie companies, lower interest rates to zero, and pass stimulus packages in order to escape the fate of Japan—which, um, partially nationalized its banks.
F. A. Hayek won the Nobel Prize in 1974 for showing how central bank manipulation of interest rates gives rise to the kind of boom-bust cycle we are experiencing now, and that such phenomena are not caused by the unhampered market.
The worst outcome, which we cannot dismiss out of hand, is a hyperinflationary destruction of the currency or, barring that, the reduction of America to banana-republic conditions.
The dollar’s bust has to come. The printing press will be the regime’s only way out. If this crisis doesn’t do it, the looming entitlement disaster will finish off the dollar. How else are $70 trillion in entitlement liabilities going to be paid for? Floating a few more bonds?

Intel is reasonably doubtful on AMD's Global Foundries
Paul Otellini, Intel's President and CEO, has publicly questioned AMD's future cost structure, with a prognosis that the "cost plus" contract between AMD and GLOBALFOUNDRIES will inevitably lead to a widening price/performance delta between the two CPU giants.
He stated: "The Mubadala guys will want a return on their investment", referring to Mubadala Development, a sovereign wealth fund also wholly owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Hiring now!
Then, Intel hurried up to realize the same "unreasonable" strategy with TSMC. ATI may use GLOBAL FOUNDRIES 32nm bulk silicon process for its future DirectX 11 parts, but has no plans to discontinue production at its key technology partner TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company).Who will suffer in the end? You dear hardware consumers. :)
NVidia X86:
“I think some time down the road it makes sense to take the same level of integration that we’ve done with Tegra,” said Nvidia's Hara. “Tegra is by any definition a complete computer on a chip, and the requirements of that market are such that you have to be very low power, very small, but highly efficient. So in that particular state it made a lot of sense to take that approach, and someday it’s going to make sense to take the same approach in the x86 market as well.”

Intel’s Chief Claims Nvidia Is Not Competitive without Microprocessors.
"If you don’t have a microprocessor, what else do you have to sell? The graphics subsystem for most machines will be subsumed into the microprocessor. So what Nvidia is doing is making an argument to defend the status quo,” said Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel.
In February Intel and Nvidia could not reach an agreement under which Nvidia would get a license on Direct Media Interface (DMI) bus from Intel (which effectively bans Nvidia from making core-logic sets for Intel processors with integrated memory controller).
According the chief of Nvidia, technologies like Nvidia Ion (integrated core-logic for Intel Atom and other processors), SLI (multi-GPU rendering), Hybrid power (ability to switch between integrated and discrete graphics core), and CUDA (programming language for GeForce GPUs) threaten Intel’s ability to control the PC platform.

Global crash: What preceeded global financial network reset ?
The total US federal debt doubled from 30 000 to 65 000 $ Billion during the Bush second mandate. That is the way how he actually made the US secure: By unsubstantiated financial security means ! $35T belongs to CDO squared !
Current global financial system is in an "undefined state."
After not an individual computer crash, of course, but a computer crash in the sense of Sun Microsystems' erstwhile marketing slogan, "the network is the computer." That is, we have all of these machines in different sectors of the economy, and we've networked all of them together either directly (via an actual network) or indirectly (by using the collective "output" of machines in one sector as input for the machines in another sector), and like any other computer system the whole thing hums along nicely... up until the point when it doesn't.
How the global network actually crashed.
The CDS and CDO markets grew together, feeding on each other. At the end of 2001, there was $920 billion in credit default swaps outstanding. By the end of 2007, that number had skyrocketed to more than $62 trillion. The CDO market, which stood at $275 billion in 2000, grew to $4.7 trillion by 2006.
