The headline is almost misleading. It almost makes you think the self-driving car "caused" some accidents but... "None of the accidents were the fault of the autonomous cars..." "...the self-driving car hasn't caused a single accident." In every case the self-driving car was on the receiving...

Foiled by the floppy disk. LOL Old-school FTW. The only thing more obscure now would be a ZIP disk. Unless they're talking about 5.25" floppy disks in which case color me impressed.

You must be proactive in protecting your own data yourself. There is no other way.

Nay! The next big thing is the old, old thing. That's right, all that paper you have lying around, you can now use to make 3D stuff: http://www.techhive.com/article/2049109/this-3d-printer-uses-paper-regular-old-paper-instead-of-filament-or-resin.html And no, if you watch the video you'll know...

There are brilliant mathematicians and algorithmically-minded people all over the world. If full AES-128/192/256 could be feasibly cracked, we'd know about it. Building backdoors into a system isn't the same as cracking the underlying encryption of said system. It's like purposefully making the...

First gen PS3 had more storage and could do way more, like play all PS2/PSX titles and had linux support. Not anymore! Sad sad sad. For the same $200 you could get a first gen PS3 on eBay and actually get your money's worth in hardware. The magic model number you're looking for is "CECHA01"...

Kodak made scanners?

Every time I hear about Chrome's "BLINK", I can't stop thinking about Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" novel.

freggoOK, it is early in the morning and I did not have coffee yet; but still, I do not understand how piracy of basically 'free' software hurts those providing the free software ? Try reading the link? Perhaps it really is too early in the morning. "Why Piracy Hurts Open Source" by John Knight...
