China has gained a considerable global attention when it comes to their Internet policies in the past years; whether it's introducing its own search engine dubbed "Baidu," Great Firewall of China, its homebrew China Operating System (COP) and many more.
Along with the developments, China has long been criticized for suspected backdoors in its products: Xiaomi and Star N9500 smartphones are top examples.
Now, Chinese Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have been caught red-handed for injecting Advertisements as well as Malware through their network traffic.
Three Israeli researchers uncovered that the major Chinese-based ISPs named China Telecom and China Unicom, two of Asia's largest network operators, have been engaged in an illegal practice of content injection in network traffic.
On February 20, 2016, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden addressed more than 500 attendees at the Free State Project's 9th annual NH Liberty Forum in Manchester, NH.
People gathered from across the globe to discuss practical ways to expand social and economic liberties. The conference also provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the Free Stater community in New Hampshire, where 20,000 libertarians are now moving.
Over the years we've watched in awe as Boston Dynamics has refined the design of its humanoid Atlas robot, and this new version is impressing us once again. Last year the Alphabet-owned group showed off a battery-powered version of the robot, and now the "next generation" model remains wireless, but is smaller. Matching my size at 5 feet 9 inches and about 180 pounds, it compares to a predecessor that was six feet tall and weighed 330 pounds a couple of years ago.
Virgin Galactic is getting back into the space race after revealing its new VSS Unity spaceship, which will soon be ferrying people beyond the earth’s atmosphere.
After the failure of its predecessor, the VSS Unity will undergo rigorous testing this year before any humans are aboard. Some 700 people have already bought tickets and will be among the first passengers to experience space tourism.
The 21st century is witnessing a great change over in the daily life of folks with the advent of IoT devices that are capable of talking to each other without any human intervention.
Yeah! Now you do not have to individually cascade an instruction to each of your home devices to accomplish a task. All have gone automated with the actuators and sensors which are infused into the home appliances.
This is a 120 minute workshop focused on exploiting techniques of modern EAC (Electronic Access Control) systems. The workshop is designed to introduce the most common access control technologies, and provide details on their vulnerabilities and available attack methods. Attendees will be provided with significant hands-on laboratory exercises including a final challenge where students will test learned methods and win hardware gadgets offered by Opposing Force.
Today we’re announcing the expansion of Google Ideas, Google’s think tank, as a technology incubator called Jigsaw. The team’s mission is to use technology to tackle the toughest geopolitical challenges, from countering violent extremism to thwarting online censorship to mitigating the threats associated with digital attacks.
Jared Cohen, who ran Google Ideas, will serve as President of Jigsaw. He will also continue to serve as an advisor to me.
A Russian Rokot launch vehicle – with a Briz-KM Upper Stage – has launched the Sentinel-3A spacecraft for the European Space Agency (ESA) on Tuesday. The launch took place from the Eurockot Pad LC133 at the Plesetsk space center in northern Russia, with T-0 marked at 17:57 UTC.
IT SEEMS LIKE “what if Power Wheels… but faster?” is a question that would have been answered some time ago, and yet! The Actev Motors Arrow Smart-Kart may be the first kid-focused speedster to truly deliver, especially in a way that doesn’t scare the hell out of parents.
The Arrow, which debuts this weekend at the New York City Toy Fair, is an electric go-kart that really goes—up to 12 mph, to be precise. The $600 base model looks like an upscale version of what you’d find at a family race track, but an extra $100 nets you a body kit (red or silver) straight out of Formula One. Another optional add-on lets you drift. Yes, drift. A preteen with a need for speed might be a scary proposition, but at least now they’ll have an option to go careening in style.
Those are the words that greet you when you open the box of the Nextbit Robin, a phone imagined by the design guru behind many of HTC's beautiful handsets.
It's certainly a bold statement from a fledging smartphone manufacturer which is trying something different in an attempt to stand out with its first device.
The San Francisco based firm is harnessing the power of the cloud to ensure there's always space on the Robin for the latest app, game, movie or music track.
As a result of the legal action against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange by both British and Swedish Governments, he has been arbitrarily detained by the United Kingdom and Sweden since his arrest in London over five years ago.
However, Assange filed a complaint against both the governments in September 2014 that has been considered by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
Last week, Assange gave a statement that if the ruling comes against him, then he will surrender himself to Britain.
Tesla will reveal its next vehicle, the mass-market, $35,000 Model 3, in March.
The startup carmaker will only be showing us the sedan version, but last year CTO JB Straubel said the Model 3 will actually be a platform upon which a family of vehicles can be built.
This means Tesla can easily add a compact crossover SUV to its lineup — or any of several other designs from a sports car to a pickup truck.
This is what most automakers do: With the exception of very exotic brands building very expensive high-performance machines, they engineer their cars and trucks using common platforms, to make the development and manufacturing process more efficient and less costly.
