Through-wall tracking of humans using Wi-Fi: Now more accurate, low power

Between this and sub-millimeter handheld radar...

I expect an upsurge in the use of metallic patterned wall-coverings. You didn't have to ground them back in the seventies, though.

You THINK you're watching your LG smart TV - but IT's WATCHING YOU, baby

Attorney field day.

LG and the advertisers are probably not piviledged entities under most jurisdictions. So, if I want to know what the spouse has been watching, all I have to do is give my divorce/civil/custody attorney the ident associated with the televison, and they will ask LG and the advertisers for discovery. Yessss...

Screw Internet-of-Things: Boffins build Internet-of-Sound UNDERWATER

Active cover?

Does anybody else thing that this would make a great background noise cover for hiding underwater activity or sonar? Or, alternatively, using dropouts/traffic routing/transmission strength changes to track movement of large objects or thermocline layers?

I'll be in the mu-metal-lined room if you want me..

Google's robot army learns Spanish

Googlespeak?

So you have a list of words or phrases that mean the same thing. That list represents a concept. Somewhere out in database land that list has an identifier. What happens if you start using the list identifier to communicate? Maybe Google should work up a human-usable symbology for these. Lingua Google...

Boffins have constructed a new LIGHT SABRE. Their skills are complete

Not so much a light-saber as a shipstone

This is light in a basic form that can be picked up and transported. What sort of information or power density could be developed from this? If you get enough energy density into this and release it at one time, would it move the crystalline storage up above the ground state? Could you make it lase when it reverts to ground state? I want my blaster...

Holiday HELL: Pourquoi, monsieur, why is there no merdique Wi-Fi here?

What is this "holiday" concept you are all on about?

Former CIA and NSA head says Huawei spies for China

Black( pot, kettle )

A self-professed forty-year spy who heads up an organization that sells telecomm kit says other company that sells telecomm kit is spying on you. Not terribly surprising.

I wonder if any of the controlling management at Huawei have a similar career background?
