Something that sounds very science fiction-y, a computer prototype has been desinged by IBM - And it's running on electronic blood. The “electronic blood” is pumped through the computer and carries power as it pulls heat. The goal is to house a one petaflop computer (currently the size of half a soccer field) in something that will fit on a desk by 2060.
Apple has had a few details leak ahead of it's big reveal for tomorrow. An information page detailing software Apple includes with its iPhone 5S showed off an updated look for the icons of Apple's iLife and iWork -- something that cropped up earlier this week -- along with a note that Apple's making Garageband for iOS free.
Check out what you can expect in Apple's big event here.
iMessage's supposedly uncrackable security is not as secure as some may think, according to Quarkslab. More worryingly, in the presentation "How Apple Can Read Your iMessages and How You Can Prevent It," the researchers also showed that iMessages can be intercepted and instantly changed via a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack. The message interception allows a third-party attacker to seamlessly change the sent message before it arrives — and with the sender impersonated, the iMessage recipient is none the wiser.
The New York Times have a piece on the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey. It was here, one breezy day in 2006, according to legend, that Jack Dorsey ordered burritos with two co-workers, scaled a slide and, in a black sweater and green beanie, like a geeked-out Moses on Mount Sinai, presented his idea for an Internet service that would allow users to update their current status and share what they were doing.
Baristas may be replaced soon, by a coffee-making robot. Not a coffee person? Fear not, Briggo will make you a hot chocolate, iced chocolate, iced chai latte or just steamed milk if that's your thing. "What we've created is in essence a small food factory that absolutely replicates what a champion barista does," Mr Nater said.
For any military types, the new Zumwalt-class stealth destroyer may pique your interest. Originally envisioned for shore bombardment, the ship's size and power plant that can produce 78 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 78,000 homes - make it a potential platform for futuristic weapons like the electromagnetic rail gun, which uses a magnetic field and electric current to fire a projectile at seven times the speed of sound.
