This is marks the lowest level in twelve years for the struggling industry.

On Wednesday morning on September 10th they turn on the Large Hadron Collider… We have a Long Bet that states “Large Hadron Collider will destroy Earth.” And you can watch the video above of what that looks like above. The “First Beam” will occur at 9:30am at CERN which I believe will be about 1:30am as we clean up after the Anathem Event. So make sure wherever you are to raise a glass a toast ...

YouTube may be the largest video site on the web, but Hulu may be more profitable. While YouTube monetizes an estimated 3 percent of its video inventory, Hulu monetizes 100 percent, according to a LiveRail report. The upshot: Hulu could make as much in domestic ad sales this year as YouTube. (Here's the logic: Analysts expect YouTube to generate around $100 million in domestic sales, while Hulu is expected to book $90 million in domestic ...

This month's issue of Scientific American is a single-topic feature on "The Future of Privacy." There is a ton to read- 11 different articles covering topics including online security, wiretapping, RFID tags, genetic privacy and social networking. I really appreciate that they do bring a distinction between privacy and security to the discussion, which is really important as privacy is a much more flexible matter of preferences and cultural norms, whereas security can be a ...

The search box circumvents the address bar After playing with Google’s Chrome browser for the last few days, I noticed the “Address” bar, which is just called a “Omnibox” (corrected from just “box” via comments) is really a search field. Anything entered into it will deliver a webpage (it first looks at your historical activities) or renders Google search results (or search of your preference, including twitter search). As a result, it’s become apparently that ...

Duke This demonstration shows how a cylindrical "invisibility cloak" bends microwaves moving from left to right around a interior space, concealing the space from view. First, scientists developed a real-life invisibility cloak. Now Chinese researchers are working on an anti-invisibility device to see through the cloak. This may sound like a development that would concern the Romulans in a "Star Trek" episode rather than real people. But the research, published online today on the Optics ...

This became public knowledge today when the company’s chief people officer accidentally sent a memo to the entire agency that was intended for the eyes only of the company’s senior management.

Pay no attention to rumors that the internet is getting full: the internet can eat 50 eggs. In fact, over the last 12 months, international net bandwidth in backbone grew 62 percent, while internet traffic grew only 53 percent and filled only 43 percent of the tubes' capacity at peak times, according to a new report released by bandwidth-monitoring firm TeleGeography. In short, the internet's tubes are growing faster than even YouTube videos can fill ...

To follow-up on my post from this morning I should note that Google Chrome immediately asks you which search engine you’d like to use upon installing, conveniently providing users with a chance to use something other than their default search engine and dodging potential complaints about the browser from Microsoft. Speaking of Redmond, Ballmer and Co. may need to fear Chrome not as a browser, but as a new computing platform. Michael Arrington writes on ...
