The Web at 25 in the U.S.
53% of Americans say Internet would be 'very hard' to give up
According to Pew, 35% of U.S. adults said their TVs would be very hard to give up, down from 44% who had the same view in 2006.
Americans, though, are much more attached to the Internet and their digital devices. Pew noted that 39% said they "absolutely need" to have Internet access. Among those who said it would be difficult to give up net access, 61% said being online is essential for their jobs or other aspects of their lives, and 30% said they want the Internet because they simply enjoy being online.

A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself
(or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend. Unfortunately, with Big Brother too.

Why people are better servants than the robots, and always will be.
“A lot of people ask me, you know, do I miss much about being president,” Bush said. “The answer’s really no. I mean I miss the people I served with. I miss Air Force One. In eight years, they never lost my baggage.”

Yet another hit from the future: HAL maintainance module is called ALIS
.
In Space Odyssey 2010 Kubrick and Clarke envisioned start year 2006, and HAL that command the mission towards the Jupiter. Strikingly, we have VR mission on Earth staring in 2006 , the ship number is F35 , and its operation module is called Allice, small module that David Bowman can change to recover the mission, and the mission driving force HAL is a container room full of rack monoliths ! The F-35 and her sophisticated helmet is run by a computer named “ALIS.” ALIS integrates a broad range of capabilities including operations,
maintenance, prognostics, supply chain, customer support services,
training and technical data. A single, secure information environment
provides users with up-to-date information on any of these areas using
web-enabled applications on a distributed network.
Seems software remains the program’s number 1 risk, with an even larger number of lines of code around the aircraft – about 12 million – than within it (about 9 million, though a Product Support Manager later tells us that the total has grown towards 26 million lines of code).
Reuters reports that ALIS is at 94% of final capability, but a changing computing landscape has bitten it. A Navy “Red Team” hacked into the ALIS system. ALIS reportedly includes both classified and unclassified data streams, and the 2001 specifications didn’t require separating them to prevent intrusions. Lt. Gen Christopher Bogdan, the military officer in charge of the F-35 program, added, "Long gone is the time when we're going to pay for mistake after mistake after mistake."

World's largest solar plant scorching birds in Nevada desert
Who says that only solar is environment friendly ?
The $2.2 billion complex of three generating units, owned by NRG Energy Inc., Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy, can produce nearly 400 megawatts — enough power for 140,000 homes. It began making electricity last year.

14nm Broadwell's mass shipments will be postponed to the 1Q 2015
Intel's upcoming 14nm Broadwell-based processors were previously scheduled for mass production at the end of the first quarter for release in the third; however, sources from the upstream supply chain say the processors have recently been delayed and will not be available until the fourth quarter.
Broadwell's mass shipments will also be postponed to the first quarter of 2015. The
sources believe the delay is partly due to the
weak demand for Haswell processor inventories .

No airborn stealth without visible protection ?!?
“If we don’t keep F-22 Raptor viable, the F-35 fleet will be irrelevant” Air Combat Command says
To be precise all of 1,763 (“not one less”) F-35s
___________________________
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: TO be honest, I have been always doubtful. :) Oh yeah, why ?
Because you have to see your powerful enemy to be scared to death. Hehehehehe.
The F-35C takes 43 seconds longer than an F-16 to accelerate from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2.
The F-35B and F-35C use almost all of their internal fuel before being able to achieve their maximum speed of Mach 1.6.

All your base are belong to U.S.: Firefox and Chrome browsers now cipher and deliver upon request all your online passwords to NSA !!
User names and passwords now stored on Mozilla's servers.
___________________________
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Of course, NSA could rake them even before passwords reach Mozilla servers !. Much easier then ever. Why? Because they are all now at the same place, very well known to NSA. What should aware web surfers do? Hmm, try MAxton. Then your online passwords should be delivered to China Big Brother home. And what about IE browser security?
According to HP's 2013 Cyber Risk Report, more researchers tried to sell IE vulnerabilities than any other product vulnerability.
Not as good as it used to be since 2001:)
