That's nice. But I don't mind hipsters without Wi-Fi in a café. Read more

Because security by obscurity works so great. So great that we have ended up with a high speed standard that can be shut down by anyone with basic communication engineering knowledge. Read more

You need to read the article. Like, the entire article. All those words. Read more

No, but they are making up for the lost time pretty fast. Read more

AFAIK, the study says the planet would look red in the place where it is now. They gave the artist the information he needed.
