    How Google Is Becoming A Lot Less Interesting

    They make their billions on Ad revenue. They make "free" things so they can know more about you and deliver every increasingly targeted ads to you. This then increases their ad revenue and their stash of cash to make cool things. They revolutionized their own data center to make it handle...

    12-Year-Old Faces Criminal Charges For Using Emoji

    I live in the Fairfax, VA area. The police force is over budgeted and overpaid. In one of the most affluent places on earth, they have nearly nothing to do. So they bust minors for emojis.

    IRS Cut Its Cyber Security Staff by 11% Over Four Years

    This is talking about those that work directly for the U.S. government. They said they were moved to contractors. That is a good thing. There is more accountability, and generally more capability. I concur with the phishing explanation, sometimes you just can't help users enough.

    Copper Sponge Silent PC Prototype

    Thermal conductivity of copper is great, but the ability to dissipate the heat is much worse than aluminum. They should coat it in aluminum. The interior copper can transfer the heat from the core out the copper threads of the "sponge" to the aluminum coating, then the aluminum coating can...

    Google Designing Its Own Server Chips?

    Google does not have to comply with ARM to x86 or RISC. They will probably make ASIC processors so they are fast at doing exactly what they want, and nothing else. They need to run google OS/FS. Google makes their own network gear with their own protocols, this is just the next step in the...

    The Windows Era Is Over

    Hit a Folding (Stanford) milestone? Post it here:

    Just create a console with remote connections. There are enough stats. I only run 8 computers, 5 have capable GPUs, but the client console does it for me. Breaking out usernames is going to give you a headache on looking up online stats per machine.
