First, in the summer of 2018, the CST-100 Starliner (Boeing's human-rated space capsule for NASA's CCP) had a big leak during vacuum testing. Then the 737 Max problems. Today Boeing has cleared those bad past feelings away, and with a reinvigorated, joyous look to the future they did a...

And they look dorky as hell. Microsoft Surface Earbuds However, my inside man at Microsoft says they're actually comfortable. Regardless, it sounds like Microsoft tried to step up their game a bit and say, "Screw the usual 'me too' manufacturing, lets make something we like and let it stand...

Remember when Deckard analyzed a photograph in the original Blade Runner? (Btw, R.I.P. Rutger Hauer.) In the movie, the scanner uses the picture to enter a 3D space that feels intriguing but is not explained. Now scientists at Stanford are using lasers, plotting and some heavy calculations to...

Last January AlphaAtlas posted about IBM's first quantum computer, the Q System One. Now IBM is starting a new initiative that allows 'people' (whomever, apparently) to program and run experiments on IBM's quantum cloud system called The IBM Q Experience. If you're interested, give it a try...

From CNN: "New proposed legislation drafted by Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters' staff could stop Facebook's cryptocurrency ambitions. The proposal, still just a discussion draft, is titled the "Keep Big Tech Out of Finance Act." It details rules that would prohibit large internet...

From The Verge: Mike Filippo, a long-time chip designer who was a lead architect on the Cortex-A76, has been hired by Apple. I am still doubtful that any ARM-weight processor is going to compete against the Intel / AMD x86 offerings, unless Apple brings out the Big Boy volts and clocks up to...

FattyDove Racing SSD. Screw it, for $21.00 (120gb version, which is sort of useless), the next time people are talking tough about the brand of SSD they use I'll be able to say, "Yeah, well, my SSD is made by Fatty Dove Racing. And it's pink." P.S. Maybe I'll spring the extra $9.00 and...

In February of 2005 Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim registered the logo, domain and trademark for YouTube, a video sharing site that, by various reports, was intended either to be part of a new dating app, or was designed as a video accumulator because Karim couldn't find clips of Janet...

You've decided to cut the cord because cable prices are just too high? It looks like content providers are retaking control of their content, buying out online media services, and pushing the price back up. YouTube TV prices are scheduled to raise to $50.00 a month, although this is offset by...

AOC Q3279VWFD8 31.5" QHD 2560x1440 On sale at NewEgg for $273.00 My friend got one and it looks fantastic, but the last time I ordered an AOC it was a bad run, and I'm afraid if I order one of these I'll get a made-on-Monday special. But it's got almost everything I want - 31.5" 2560x1440...

I've been looking to replace my monitor. I decided I wanted a 27", and I wanted something with better contrast than a TN panel, but I'm not one to spend big bucks. So I've been poking around the web for a few weeks, and I'd looked at VA panels before, and today I stumbled on this BenQ at...
