If you can’t make it out to a cafe, a new website allows you to bring the bustling energy directly to your computer. The site is called Coffitivity. It’s free and plays an ambient coffee shop soundtrack.
My opinion is that IBM’s Watson computer is able to answer questions, and so, in my subjective view, that qualifies as intelligence.
The microship is pervasive and ubiquitous in our lives more than we realize.
A recent US Homeland Security alert calls attention to the vulnerability of pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other health equipment to malicious attacks. As devices become smaller and more efficient, more attention must be paid.
Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who went public with the NSA’s clandestine data mining operation, forms part of an increasing crossover between government and private cybersecurity organizations.
Who is making us more polarized?
Numerous online tools are available to help you figure out your risk of a wide range of health outcomes; diabetes, stroke, heart disease, various kinds of cancer, (see Your […]
Retaliation is illegal in the US, but businesses and organizations tired of being vulnerable to cyberattacks are reviewing what counterattack options they do have.
A rejoinder to the author of the Neurobonkers blog post criticizing my take on Edward Snowden.
Researchers are working on a method to teach passwords through a series of repetitive actions that, ideally, become so familiar that the user does them without conscious thought.
Technology companies can create enormous value, but what about jobs?
We are only creating the mansions for the souls that only He can create.
A project currently underway at the Pentagon — intriguingly named “Plan X” — aims to make attacking enemies’ computer systems so easy that “even a white-haired general” could do it.
Yes, it has come to this: A researcher has created a system that uses a depth-sensing camera to detect obstacles and displays warnings via a message on your smartphone screen.
Given the amounts of data each of us generates in a given year, we may soon be approaching the point where true anonymity will be “algorithmically impossible.”
University of Minnesota researchers have built a toy-sized aircraft that moves in response to wireless signals interpreted by an EEG cap.
You cannot prevent weapons by preventing technologies. We just have to use them carefully, particularly the power of genetics.
Accelerating technological change will define how efficiently we use energy, not how much. The accelerating change of technology we use commercially and personally is dramatically increasing the global demand for […]
WiSee uses an existing wi-fi connection to enable people to control electronic devices like TVs or stereos with gestures…and they don’t even have to be in the same room.
The project, called RoomE, uses off-the-shelf hardware and custom-designed software to create an environment in which the computer is always watching and responds to both voice and gesture commands.
Two weeks ago, after turning onto Route 10 from Santa Monica, a truck sped by in the center lane. A hand truck flew from the back as it hit a […]
More than 120,000 sites are operating in the .su domain space assigned to the former Soviet Union, and a significant number of them are up to no good. Getting rid of the suffix would be “a messy operation.”
So one of my other major interests is this computational problem called genome assembly. So the genome again is this large molecule, but the way we can sequence it are […]
By building circuits out of DNA, researchers at Stanford have found a way to program the body’s cells with logic functions, similar to how computer chips work on larger scales.
Stephen Hawking, who suffers from motor neurone disease, uses Israeli technology as part of a computer system that helps him function and communicate.
The future of medicine is predictive, personalized, preventative and is moving from being episodic and reactive to continuous and proactive.
Have you seen the Chipotle Grill animated video “The Scarecrow”? More than four million people have, since it was first published last week. It’s a cry against unsustainable industrial […]
Developed for the mining industry, it tracks drivers’ eyes and uses an audio alert and a vibrating seat to wake them if necessary. In tests, it outperformed other systems that required the drivers to wear special equipment.
A spine chilling new documentary addresses the myriad of new tools for surveillance that are now being put to use in the the UK’s capital city. We learn of the […]
