Google is planning on rolling out 1Gbps fiber to homes? Uhh, where do I sign up!? I wonder what impact will this have on colo facilities who’s primary claim to fame is 100Mbps burstable pipes? Will they once again shift focus to power, cooling, and security if every home has 1Gbps feeds? I sure hope […]

Some BYU dudes created a “lab-on-chip” that uses slots like a coin sorter to detect specifically sized particles, which could be proteins, viruses, etc. The chips work like coin sorters, only they are much, much smaller.

Everyone has seen the youtube videos of Japanese robots… but I’ve never seen a robot so quick and dexterous as the one NASA and GM built together. They also didn’t skimp on the kick ass ironman-esque face mask. When I saw this, I couldn’t help but take a little pride in a truly amazing US […]

The BBC reports that new research, carried out in the UK and Belgium, involved using an fMRI brain scan to assess whether vegetative patients could answer yes or no questions. Astoundingly, awareness was detected in three patients previously diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. What’s interesting to me is, I thought we’d come a […]

I just posted a couple weeks ago that all this airport scanner security is pointless because people will always be able to get things in to places and on to planes… and that a real security includes diplomacy, castigation, and a complete overhaul of our priorities and perhaps our point of view both domestically and […]

A while back I posted about resetting HP iLO card passwords through software. I’m following that post up with one about doing the same with Dell’s DRAC remote access cards. You may have forgotten the password, mistyped when setting a new password, or even acquired a used DRAC card with unknown an password. The good […]
