If mass translates to energy and energy being lossy, shouldn't the mass of nucleus decrease over time?:-)
Anyway, the article seems to indicate that the energy produced from the interaction between quarks and gluons account for the extra mass. What is to say that the energy produced from the interaction is always the same? If not always the same, it implies that the mass of neutron may vary over period of time!
Btw, the article doesn't care to summarize how the super-computers were used in the proof (except for that last quote in the article).
If a service can offer a better experience if it knows my location without having to login and identify myself, it is useful in many scenarios. For example, advertising a deal or a offering a coupon for an item in a nearby store. But like any technology, it can definitely be abused.
There are a few problems with WiFi based location estimation. For example, the SSID may change or vanish. Secondly, it can easily be abused by reporting false location. On the contrary, it can work indoors unlike most commercial GPS'es.
This technology gained attention with the Place Lab (http://www.placelab.org/) initiative.
Call me exaggerating but we are moving towards a world of disconnected Internet. Really, start with saying one cannot link content. Next say go one level down and bring policies about linking at router level. We can devolve to where we started (single PC) and declare victory on safer computing.
"Although it's great to see this as a victory for consumers, I can't help but wonder about the next wave of DRM schemes."
With any disrupting technology, one can use it for "safer" computing or "treacherous" computing (remember P2P?!). It almost looks like entertainment industry is waiting to embrace this (one once it matures) and use it treacherously. BTW, my research area is trusted computing and I believe this technology is the first step towards safer computing. It is so very un-scientific to blindly disregard any technology at inception. All in all, you want it or not, corporations are going to push it into your home PC very soon...
Just because Google will make the data freely available may not necessarily mean that they will let you laugh at their work and let you use it for profit in your own company.

Most of us receive all the important/critical mails by either e-mail or fax. And if we *ever* need a hard copy of important/critical mails, we receive them via fed-ex kinds. And who cares about other junk mails. I don't see how this business model is going to ever succeed --leave alone the privacy issues and silly pricing ($20-$25 per month? What were they smoking?!).
Such research (although not as is) can increase our understand of how to store data intelligently (& efficiently) in the computer domain. Data mining research would greatly benefit from such modeling studies.
One should not always relate things to 'applied' science. There is a predecessor called 'pure' science that acts as an enabler for rest of the world. Sure average Joe doesn't care but it is a significant improvement in the scientific world. Now many critical research can be performed on "silicon" (although at insanely low temperature). Remember the time when there were only few elements in the world that exhibited the property of superconducting? Now Silicon is yet another addition and considering how Silicon is closely related to computing, this could be a jump board for the speed-demanding future ahead.
From the article: Unlike in the Cathedral, the Bazaar has no official leadership.
Isn't this what enables FOSS? Most of the FOSS don't have official leadership (other than the creator of course:-) ) until it matures and shines. The linux kernel is a wonderful example.
As much as I would like to blame M$, Code Injection attacks have nothing to do with M$ or ANY operating system for that matter. It is the application developers' laziness to not validate input from external entity. Many attacks could be almost completely avoided with input validation including buffer overflow, cross-site scripting...
Never heard of the term "malicious injection". All these attacks would fall under the category of "Code Injection" and all code injection attacks could be prevented with diligent Input Validation.

While I agree FF should alert the user, this is not a hole in FF's security architecture. Its rather a software level bug.
Moral of the story:
1. don't be lazy and ask your browser to remember your password.
2. if you insist to be lazy, store passwords only for trivial web accounts.
Even if one made an observation of a such a black hole, its go to be so far away (simply because we don't perceive its enormous gravity in any close proximity) that you are essentially looking at the past:-). Yes, I realize light particles/waves cannot escape the black hole --i'm talking about the light from matter that it is swallowing...
