<description><![CDATA[If you ever felt like invading the Republic of Georgia--this is something that several Russians have contemplated over the years--I may have stumbled upon a way to knock out most of the whole country's Internet service. This is useful in these absurdly connected times. My ruse might also work in Armenia. And, who knows, several other countries of the world. You see, all you have to do is send out one elderly woman and tell her to look for scrap metal with gay abandon. I am not making this up. Unless Agence France-Presse is. You see, the AFP is reporting that a 75-year-old old lady in Ksani, somewhat north of the fine capital of Tbilisi, was, indeed, in search of scrap metal when she accidentally (or not) put most of Georgia's (and Armenia's) Internet into complete non-function.Tbilisi, home to some disconnected Georgians recently.(Credit:CC Thomas Dependbusch/Flickr)Did she accidentally hack into a cable, as she espied a juicy silver trophy abandoned at its side Perhaps not.For Georgian interior ministry spokesman Zura Gvenetadze told the AFP: &quot;She found the cable while collecting scrap metal and cut it with a view to stealing it.&quot;It must be very fine cable.Most Georgians and Armenians apparently lost their Internet for up to 12 hours and Giorgi Ionatamishvili, the head of Georgian Railway Telecom's marketing department--Georgian Railway Telecom being the cable's owners--seemed bemused by the woman's power, audacity and sheer sleuthiness.For he told the AFP: &quot;I cannot understand how this lady managed to find and damage the cable.&quot;Let's take the cutting part first. This cable can't have been all that strong if a woman of advanced years could cut straight through it.Now for the finding part: Perhaps, sir, she needed to eat. Perhaps she was prepared to dig deeper in order to get money for essentials. Perhaps, too, someone in a bar told her where the cable was located. There again, she might simply be a senior citizen with a sense of outrage at how the Web has taken over human life. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This diagram shows the workflow of micron-beads of hydrogen in a fuel cell vehicle.(Credit:Cella Energy)Researchers developed a new, low-cost technology that makes hydrogen fuel safer to store and use, inching clean fuel vehicles closer to reality.Coaxial electrospinning is a new technology developed by Cella Energy, a spin-off from Britain's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Also called electrospraying, the process absorbs and encapsulates hydrogen gas in a microscopic sponge formed by nano-fiber hydrides. The plastic beads storing the chemical hydride are 30 times smaller than a human hair, making the microbeads flow like liquid through a vehicle's fueling system. The beads can safely be exposed to air and require less heat to drive off the encapsulated hydrogen that is used to propels the vehicle. Spent beads are stored in a separate waste tank and get recycled when drivers refuel their vehicles.For consumers, this breakthrough means they can refuel fuel cell vehicles quickly and safely without fear of the pump bursting in flames.Most fuel cell vehicles store compressed hydrogen gas in either 5,000 or 10,000 psi tanks. And although all fuel is combustable, fuel cell detractors often warn that hydrogen gas posses a safety threat to drivers. Last year, a hydrogen refueling station in New York exploded during storage tank refueling due to a faulty hose apparatus. However, this new hydrogen storage technology makes the refueling process much safer. Coupled with hydrogen fuel that's produced using renewable energy, such as SunHydro's solar-powered refueling stations, the new technology offers drivers a fast and safe clean fuel.Source: Reuters via Yahoo News<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just in time for New Year's resolution season, a site called Fitango has launched, intending to provide a marketplace where people can buy &quot;plans&quot; from experts who can offer online tutorials in anything from training for a marathon to transitioning to a vegan diet to learning as much Italian as possible one month before traveling to Florence.It's structured like an app store. Pick an &quot;Actionplan,&quot; pay for it (though some are free), and you'll receive instructions, including video and audio, where applicable, over a given span of time. You're invited to bring on &quot;motivators&quot; from your various social networks, share progress on Facebook and elsewhere, and interact with other people participating in the same plan. Right now, plans are accessible on aniPad-friendly Web site' mobile apps are in the works, as well.The &quot;expert&quot; offering the plan picks the price (most appear to be less than $20, at the moment)' Fitango typically takes a 30 percent cut of sales.As a platform, it's a compelling concept, but if the founding team isn't ready, it could have a major problem with credibility. There's a problematic underworld of scammers, hucksters, and get-rich-quick impresarios out there who already dominate many of the remnant display ads you see online (from work-at-home scams to whatever those acai berries are suppose to do). Fitango said it's doing a lot to maintain quality and prepare for a potential onslaught of these opportunists--a terms of use for &quot;experts&quot; is detailed and stringent' certain activities are banned in the first place, including any involving gambling or firearms. It added that plans need to go through an approval process before they can appear on the site in the first place, members can flag any activity they see as potentially problematic, and experts are required to be able to provide certification or proof of competency, if asked for it.Beyond these safeguards, Fitango is also working to get some well-known &quot;experts&quot; of its own on board. It has deals in the works with brands and celebrities that can use it to sell custom plans--say, cooking tutorials from a celebrity chef or weight loss plans attached to a fitness magazine.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[4chan, a hacking web site that can marshal considerable cyber firepower, has begun to attack web sites that have cut ties with whistle-blower site WikiLeaks.Known as Anonymous, the 4chan hackers have initiated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against PayPal, Swiss bank PostFinance, and other sites that have hindered WikiLeaks by cutting ties to it. If there were any doubt that we&amp;'re in some kind of information war, this is probably the clincher. On the one side are authorities that want to knock the controversial WikiLeaks out of action. On the other are its defenders, who would help it evade the authorities and enable it to continue posting classified government secrets.A 4chan spokesman named &amp;''Coldblood&amp;'' has said that any web site that is &amp;''bowing down to government pressure&amp;'' is a potential target of DDoS attacks, which flood a site with requests until it is shut down. The attacks are being performed under the name Operation Payback, which has also initiated attacks against anti-piracy groups such as the Recording Industry Association of America. If the campaign is valid, then Amazon, EveryDNS.net, MasterCard, Visa and others could also be targets &amp;8212' since all have cut off WikiLeaks.Ars Technica reports that the attacks against PayPal took its blog offline temporarily but the main PayPal site wasn&amp;'t shut down. But the Swiss bank&amp;'s web site was unavailable for more than 16 hours. The bank was targeted because it shut one of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange&amp;'s bank accounts because he liked about his residency on an application form. But even as it has lost access to revenue sources such as PayPal, the startup Flattr, created by Peter Sunde, co-founder of torrent site Pirate Bay, has been raising money for WikiLeaks.Earlier today, Assange was arrested by the British police on sex charges related to an investigation in Sweden. He is fighting extradition, but also posted a missive dubbed, &amp;''Don&amp;'t shoot the messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths.&amp;'' The idea of WikiLeaks, he wrote, was to use internet technologies in new ways to report the truth. He noted that Sarah Palin says he should be &amp;''hunted down like Osama bin Laden.&amp;'' Assange also said that in its four-year history, WikiLeaks&amp;' publications haven&amp;'t led to any deaths.There are thus a lot of contradictions in what 4chan is doing, where its forces are preventing sites from speaking out and are punishing those sites because they want to hinder WikiLeaks from speaking out. The site of Assange&amp;'s Swedish prosecutors has also been taken offline. 4chan itself has also come under attack, and WikiLeaks itself has been under continuous cyber attack. Hundreds of mirror sites have sprouted to make sure that WikiLeaks does not go offline. Make no mistake. This is an infowar. In a recent tweet, cyber guru John Perry Barlow said just that, &amp;''The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.&amp;''[illustration: Ars Technica]Previous Story: Amazon debuts Kindle for the Web on heels of Google eBooksPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: infowarCompanies: 4chan, Amazon, Anonymous, EveryDNS.net, paypal, PostFinance, WikiLeaksPeople: Julian Assange          Tags: infowarCompanies: 4chan, Amazon, Anonymous, EveryDNS.net, paypal, PostFinance, WikiLeaksPeople: Julian AssangeDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[This fascinating image above is from the recently inaugurateda4sGoogle Books&amp;' Error Page and shows you just how far artist&amp;'s Yi Ying Lu&amp;'s Twitter Fail Whale image has come since it was first put into heavy rotation in 2008. Perhaps it is the fact that &amp;''fail&amp;'' rhymes with &amp;''whale,&amp;'' but somehow it&amp;'s a natural fit that the two go hand in hand with regards to 503 error messages.So is Google&amp;'s Moby Dick inspired Twitter derivative the sincerest form of flattery Well, in some circles, you ain&amp;'t nothing until you get copied (or bought) by Google. Thar she blows! <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
