We need about 2.5 % growth just to keep unemployment from rising
Yet growth is currently running somewhere between 1 and 2 percent, with a good chance that it will slow even further in the months ahead. Will the economy actually enter a double dip, with G.D.P. shrinking? Who cares? If unemployment rises for the rest of this year, which seems likely, it won’t matter whether the G.D.P. numbers are slightly positive or slightly negative.

Hackers blind quantum cryptographers
Quantum hackers have performed the first 'invisible' attack on two commercial quantum cryptographic systems. By using lasers on the systems — which use quantum states of light to encrypt information for transmission — they have fully cracked their encryption keys, yet left no trace of the hack.

The next big thing will not be invented in the USA !
Otellini - who is no stranger to political controversy - previously opined that America had clearly lost its leadership position in the tech world.
"Our research centers were without peer. No country was more attractive for start-up capital...We seemed a generation ahead of the rest of the world in information technology. That simply is no longer the case."
Bad Hardware: But, Mr. Otellini, where are all new Intel's chip fabs built? Let me remind you big mouth , ... in Israel. Bush administration suddenly became friendly with Israel and fabs went there. So, there is where you actually need to search for some future innovations, not in the USA. And as CEO you could stop it if afraid of USA future. If you are honest Mr. Otellini, you can't now blame Obama for that. Blame yourself.
Flexible 19-Inch E-Paper Will be Mass-Produced by LG
BAD Hardware: LG might make a breakthrough ? Add in a 256 GB NAND memory.
256 gigabyte NAND flash chips
Applied Materials, Inc. today announced its breakthrough Applied Producer(R) Eterna(TM) FCVD(TM) (Flowable CVD(1)) system, the first and only film deposition technology capable of electrically isolating the densely-packed transistors in 20nm-and-below memory and logic chip designs with a high-quality dielectric film. The system will enable NAND skyscraper (3d NAND memory) wafers with 256 gigabyte NAND flash chips. It will also enable the creation of complex finfet transistors which are needed for faster and lower power chips. It will also enable DRaM 4F2 8 gigabit DDR4.

America may be declining, but don’t despair. We’re still No. 11!
Like the summer heat, fear of America’s impending decline is weighing on Washington these days. Has the United States lost its oomph as a superpower? Even President Obama isn’t immune from the gloom. “Americans won’t settle for No. 2!” Obama shouted at one political rally in early August. How about No. 11? That’s where the U.S.A. ranks in NEWSWEEK’s list of the 100 best countries in the world, not even in the top 10.

Research towards room temperature superconducting
The Oak Ridge researchers found that inhomogeneities arranged in parallel stripes, a few atomic layers apart, raised the temperature of superconductivity closer to room temperature, but that completely random inhomogeneities tended to suppress superconductivity.

US military wants exaflops supercomputer
The Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has awarded the first grants to firms it wants to build so-called exascale computers.
Chip giant Intel, graphics card maker Nvidia, MIT and the Sandia National Laboratory are all recipients of the first grants to be used to create prototype exascale machines.

Room temperature spintronics
Another bonus: once a magnetic field pushes an electron into a direction of spin, it will keep spinning the same way until another magnetic field causes the spin to change. This effect can be used to very quickly access magnetically stored information during computer operation -- even if the electrical power to a computer is switched off between uses. Data can be stored permanently, and is nearly instantly available anytime, no lengthy “boot up” needed. However, some practical problems still need to be solved: Spin state transfer through different materials.

Behind Resign: HP’s sexual harassment policy ?
Check this video.
The woman, 50-year-old Jodie Fisher, came forward and released a statement through her attorney, Gloria Allred.
There Ms Fisher itself explains:
I was surprised and saddened that Mark Hurd lost his job over this. That was never my intention. Mark and I never had an affair or intimate sexual relationship. I first met Mark in 2007 when I interviewed for a contractor job at the company. At HP, I was under contract to work at high-level customer and executive summit events held around the country and abroad. I prepared for those events, worked very hard and enjoyed working for HP. I have resolved my claim with Mark privately, without litigation, and I do not intend to comment on it further. I wish Mark, his family and HP the best.
Here is Ms Jodie Fisher in a unforgettable movie role that earned her job at HP to work at high-level customer and executive summit events held around the country and abroad, from her statement above. I hope that the other HP female employees are less sexually explicit during the work time. Anyway, there is no feeling like HP feeling. Soon in 3D.

Exclusive: Fujifilm's camera phase detection system explained
Fujifilm has achieved something that's been hoped for but not previously brought to market - through-the-lens phase detection autofocus on a compact camera. The company is claiming the system enables focus times as fast as 0.158 sec. All current compact and mirrorless cameras use contrast detection AF, where the lens is racked back and forwards until the camera finds the position that gives the greatest contrast (which signifies being in focus).

FTC Settles Charges Of Anticompetitive Conduct Against Intel
Under the settlement, Intel would be prohibited from conditioning benefits to computer makers in exchange for their promise to buy chips from Intel exclusively or to refuse to buy chips from others; and retaliating against computer makers if they do business with non-Intel suppliers by withholding benefits from them. While it brings no major fines against Intel, it does require Intel to pay $10M USD to establish a fund to help business customers retool their software if they were misled by Intel to think the poor performance of Intel-compiled code on AMD chips was normal.
