  1. Use Chrome and "Click to play" for plugins on New Targeted Mac OS X Trojan Requires No User Interaction · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This attack is done by taking advantage of an exploit in the Java plugin. There are also lots of exploits in Flash (unless they have all been found and fixed...) You should try using Chrome and Click to Play: https://plus.google.com/118187272963262049674/posts/Mmgbr3BcYWb

  2. Will this prevent terraforming? on New Study Suggests Mars Viking Robots Found Life · · Score: 2

    If there is microbial life on Mars, will this and should this stop us from terraforming the planet? What if there was life there, but isn't anymore?

    I can't say why it has to be done this way, but here's the link:

    NASA - Final Minutes of Curiosity's Arrival at Mars

    I bet the high res video of the descent will be interesting to watch...

  4. Combine with SmartGlass on Film Turns Windows Into Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    The film already blocks 80% of visible light, but it would be complete if it was combined with electrochromatic windows.

  5. Automation on Tesla Model S: 0-60 In 4.5 Seconds · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Another big part of the Tesla story is automation. Check out today's post by Robert Scoble:

    This is the future of American manufacturing. They can make anything. It's almost 100% vertically integrated, which means everything from plastics and metals to batteries, electronics, motors and component assembly is done here, with flexible multi-purpose robots. Every car can be different, with no retooling, because the robots can do anything. It's just software.

  6. Re:How about a Model T? on Tesla Model S: 0-60 In 4.5 Seconds · · Score: 1
    Tesla has a Secret Master Plan. In short:
    1. 1. Build sports car
    2. 2. Use that money to build an affordable car
    3. 3. Use that money to build an even more affordable car
    4. 4. While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options

      and of course, if it's going to work, they must:
    5. 5. Profit!
  7. Comcast forced me to use web mail on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1
    I had my own mail server set up in my house for at least 8 years, and I was in control of my data/uptime/backups. That all changed when Comcast blocked my incoming port 25. Blocking outgoing port 25 is almost reasonable, but blocking incoming port 25 is just mean.

    Now I am forced to use an external mail service.

    jw3 asks "Of course, gmail is just one of the many providers of web-based e-mails. When I look around, almost everyone seems to be using them nowadays. So â" what do you do? Do you trust that the site of your web-based e-mail provider will never go down? Do you make backups of all your e-mails?"
