I find this truly fascinating. In June 2011, as part of an interview with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, was talking to Assange about new age technology. What his thoughts are, on the future of tech. All of this was part of the discovery phase for Schmidt in publishing his book, The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business, which came out earlier this year.
A massive hack that has been discovered shows that 2 million passwords have been stolen from users of Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo and others, according to a report released this week.
Look out for the latest trend to be Water Transfer Printing. Just what is it you say? Water Transfer Printing or Hydrographics (commonly known as hydro dipping, hydro imaging, fluid imaging, hydrograghic printing) is a 3D decorating process. Graphics like Carbon Fiber, Wood grain, Camouflage, Geometrical patterns are applied to decorate the items such as wheels, as shown in the video below.
Blockchain.info posted a new way to send bitcoins on the web. Outside of the normal way of using an exchange to send bitcoins peer-to-peer within the exchange using a Bitcoin address, Blockchain.info now offers a few different ways, including a way using Facebook.
I’m in awe of how impressive this is. Computer scientists have developed proof-of-concept software, that uses inaudible audio signals to communicate with each other. And with the communication, they can then transfer data such as malware, from speakers and microphones within short distances of each other.
If you saw the 60 Minutes special Sunday evening, then you know what this is about. If you didn’t, let me fill you in. To summarize, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, announced that within just a few years, optimistically speaking, Amazon will be able to deliver what you order online, directly to you, with a flying drone right to your house. Huzzah!
For the past 12 hours I have been watching the price of bitcoins drop considerably. Just a day and a half ago, bitcoins were over $1100 per BTC (per Bitcoin). As of this writing, bitcoins are priced under $1000 at $927. What gives?
The man, the myth, the legend. At least we can only assume that Satoshi is a he, or a singular person, or even an entity. Where in the world is Satoshi Nakamoto? The world has been asking this question since early 2009, when Satoshi introduced Bitcoin to the world. And soon after, he disappeared into the night, to never be heard from again.
Anyone that has ever used Twitter prior to this year, at some point or another, has encountered the infamous Fail Whale. The Twitter Fail Whale is a picture of a whale being carried by a flock of birds; Twitter’s symbol is a bird. The picture is iconic to Twitter, and has been long associated in a fun but sobering way, that Twitter has had quite a few problems in the past.
Some genius out there thought there needs to be a desk that reminds you to be active during the day, simply by standing up and stretching every so often. But the catch is, you never have to leave your desk to be active.
In the early days of Bitcoin mining, people used their own personal computers to mine. In the beginning, the mathematical equations weren’t as difficult, requiring less work and output machines needed to solve the problems to mine bitcoins. As time went on, the mathematical equations became more difficult, and there are now more miners, creating competition. This makes mining harder, and there is more demand on CPU’s to solve the equations, which in the end frees up blocks of bitcoins.
Since beginning to take interest in Bitcoin, I’m trying to get involved a lot more with it, in every way possible. One thing I thought of is how we accept donation support on BitShare. We have historically used PayPal, which has worked out okay. Today, we are turning over a new leaf.
Gaming software company E-Sports Entertainment Association (ESEA), who makes the popular CounterStrike game, is being fined $1 million for secretly adding Bitcoin mining software to their users’ computers.
Sexism isn’t new to the world. But with the Internet, it’s literally a Google Search away. With just a few keystrokes, you can get suggestive search results such as “women need to be controlled” and “women need to be put in their place.”
Ken Block is back, and teamed up with Need for Speed to build the ultimate Gymkhana GRID course — a “real-life playground” to showcase the sheer speed, fun and exhilarating action of driving. If you recall, last year Block tore up San Francisco in a souped up Ford Fiesta.
