Violent, powerful wind that lasts 100s of years. Yes, it's Jupiter, not you after a Friday night curry

"It’s still unclear if Jupiter has a solid core at its center or is just one giant gaseous orb."

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd go for "C", a molten core.

Mueller bombshell: 13 Russian 'troll factory' staffers charged with allegedly meddling in US presidential election

Fandroids blow $200,000 on secret PANIC BUTTON for their smartmobes

Looking at the specs and prototypes, it is simply a single resistive switch, meaning that the price point should be easily achievable. I'd imagine that manufacturing cost will be in the single digits if put into mass production.

Help-desk hell

When training an older, non computer literate process operator on how to use a PC. I told him that it he moved the mouse up then the arrow on the screen would move up. He the proceeded to lift the mouse vertically off the mouse mat.

Researchers find backdoor in milspec silicon

Hype!!!

They simply found some (normally inaccessible) debug code intentionally left on the chip like it is on most chips of this ilk.

This is one of the routes that hackers take to attack encryption techniques on stuff like the PS3, XBox & iPhone.

Samsung's Galaxy stuck in history

Most phones use Qualcomm @ 528MHz

The vast majority of android phones use the ARM-based Qualcomm processor running at 528MHz. e.g. the HTC Hero, which is getting 2.0 in the new year (as announce by HTC months ago).

I think it will hit future sales of new samsung android handsets, as folk now know what's going to happen when the next upgrade of android arrives (every 6 months so far).

I know that I will never buy another samsung android phone, nor will I recommend others to do so.
