Is Theory of relativity invented or discovered ?

Well, whmmmmm. Einstein is credited for the theory.  Theory? I thought it is a fact ! Well, it is  scientific law and a fact. Einstein was a physicist and not a mathematician. Theories are something mathematicians produce, isn't it? Thus, he had a help from maths in both famous theories: Relativity and gravity. !

Licenced to kill: Flying 007

The US Navy's Northrop Grumman X47B, a demonstration unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV), is seen on display in July 2012 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. Hollywood-style robots able to shoot people without permission from their human handlers are a real possibility and must be banned before governments start deploying them, Human Rights Watch warned Monday.

The report "Losing Humanity"—issued by Human Rights Watch and Harvard Law School's International Human Rights Clinic—raised the alarm over the ethics of the looming technology. Calling them "killer robots," the report urged "an international treaty that would absolutely prohibit the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons."

Sony and Panasonic given junk ratings !

Japan's economic bubble burst in the early 1990s. Its 'lost decade' is a historic warning for countries struggling to recover from financial crises. Paul Donovan, global economist at UBS, says there are few signs of Japan's zombie company problem in the eurozone, but warns that Germany's tight discipline is the wrong approach to the continent's travails, and says Europe risks heading down Japan's route .

Supercomputers face growing resilience problems

The problem with checkpointing, according to Fiala, is that as the number of nodes grows, the amount of system overhead needed to do checkpointing grows as well -- and grows at an exponential rate. On a 100,000-node supercomputer, for example, only about 35 percent of the activity will be involved in conducting work. The rest will be taken up by checkpointing and -- should a system fail -- recovery operations, Fiala estimated.

RED ALLERT: The United States used U.S.-Israeli spy software to hack into the French presidential office


The magazine reported late Tuesday that the computers of several close advisers to then-president Nicolas Sarkozy – including Chief of Staff Xavier Musca – were compromised in May by a computer virus that bears the hallmarks of Flame, which was allegedly created by a U.S.-Israeli team to target Iran's nuclear program. Anonymous French officials pointed the finger at the United States.

Intel delays 14nm node to 2014 !


On the other hand, if it turns out that P1272 14-nm has technical problems that require a fix – such as the use of silicon-on-insulator wafers as the starting point – a delay in delivery into 2014 will constitute a serious blow to Intel's reputation and to its position as the world's leading chip company.

Addressable 128MB eDram Scratchpad at Haswell?

 Up to 128MB.
___________________________  
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: I am interested in a low power version. No need for resident DRAM  Win programs, but in a much faster e(mbedded)DRAM.  XBox 360 like.
If the memory refresh controller is embedded along with the eDRAM memory, the remainder of the chip can treat the memory like a simple SRAM type. L4 128MB . eDRAM though requires additional fab process steps compared with embedded SRAM, which raises cost, but the 3X area savings of eDRAM memory offsets the process cost when a significant amount of memory is used in the design. Without eDRAM , L4 is only 40MB at Haswell. X

Top gun: Stealth AF Fleet should be invisible in the US budget too !

 ”Stealth technology demands significant trade-offs in range, security, weapons carriage, sortie generation, and adaptability. Stealth provides no advantage in conflicts such as those in Afghanistan or Iraq (since 2003), and (despite its obvious utility) it cannot guarantee success in future struggles with a near-peer adversary.”

Oh not again: NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon's neighborhood

NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon's neighborhood and will likely unveil its ambitious plans soon now that President Barack Obama has been re-elected, experts say.
Exploration of Earth-moon L2 could get started as early as 2021 with the first manned flight of SLS and Orion, which NASA calls Exploration Mission 2. (Exploration Mission 1 is the initial, unmanned test launch of SLS, slated for late 2017.)

Cray scales to over 100 petaflops with 'Cascade' XC30 behemoth 
Cray was going to take the work it had done on its multistreaming vector processors and massively multithreaded ThreadStorm processors and create a new processor of its own to go along with the Aries interconnect.
"We eventually made the tough decision to focus on the interconnect," says Bolding. And that has clearly paid off, and as it turns out, has made it easier for Cray to embrace GPU and x86 coprocessors like Nvidia's Tesla and Intel's Xeon Phi as adjunct and more efficient compute engines alongside x86 processors inside its systems.

Hackers had broken into the company’s computer systems and were pilfering sensitive files about its attempted $2.4 billion acquisition of China Huiyuan Juice Group (1886), according to three people familiar with the situation and an internal company document detailing the cyber intrusion. The Huiyuan deal, which collapsed three days later, would have been the largest foreign takeover of a Chinese company at the time.

Computer breaches in the name of Father and Son and the Holy spirit

Claudio Sciarpelletti, a 48-year-old computer programming analyst in the powerful office of Secretariat of State, was originally supposed to be tried with Gabriele earlier this fall. But his lawyer succeeded in having his client tried separately. Sciarpelletti is charged with aiding and abetting Gabriele.
Lawyer Gianluca Benedetti has said that his client is innocent and insisted that there were no confidential documents in a sealed envelope that Vatican police said was found in Sciarpelletti's desk.

In the past 20 years mobile performance raised 700 times. In the next Intel should offer rise at least 30 times. Provided fastest smart phones use 4 core it would need 48 to gain performance 12 times.

Munich Re found “a nearly quintupled number of weather-related loss events in North America for the past three decades.” By contrast, there was “an increase factor of 4 in Asia, 2.5 in Africa, 2 in Europe, and 1.5 in South America.” Human-caused climate change “is believed to contribute to this trend,” the report said, “though it influences various perils in different ways.”

Depending of course of gain obtained by pulse amplitude amplifier. Or alternatively, imagine only about 100 000 times shorter fiber optic path used in a miniaturized device with ordinary gyro precision.
