Junk science is everywhere. This, though, is the first time I've ever seen something along the lines of string theory's extra dimensions being "proven" by interference of waves.
Is there any way to mod down the fool who wrote the article?
If I'm not mistaken, MIT's been in the business of crazy architecture for a bit longer than that. I believe the Kresge Auditorium existed in the 1960's.
The anti-MS jokes are lame in general, but they're especially so when the building has nothing to do with the corporation. Bill Gates and his wife have one tower named after them out of private donation, and that's it.
And people should give Ray Stata his respect; the man founded Analog Devices and has been a philanthropist for a while, now.
According to the my recent WIRED, The University of Washington's Paul Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering (Yes, that Paul Allen) cost 30% more per square foot than the Stata Center.
You could perhaps argue that we built too much, but obviously the dollars indicate a decent investment.
Also, just as a final remark, the building can hold more people than it holds now. Apparently, people don't like the way it's holding them, but that's a different issue entirely.

This is completely incorrect. Yahoo! has its own, internally produced algorithmic search product.
Finding a collision is just as hard as finding the password itself, if not harder. At least the actual password makes sense to some human.
I saw it before Bug's Life. I think it's my favorite Pixar short, by far.

"Research Affiliate" is his title.

Ok, so as an MIT student, ...
