I am in Calgary and use Shaw as my ISP. I did not have any internet downtime. Perhaps the damage was restricted certain servers while parts of their network were not affected?
Submission + - Researchers Apply Invisibility Cloak to Free-stand (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: We've previously seen — or should that be "not seen" — invisibility cloaks in the laboratory that are able to render two-dimensional objects invisible to microwaves. Such feats relies on the use of metamaterials — man-made materials that exhibit optical properties not found in nature and have the ability to guide light around an object. Now researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) claim to have brought invisibility cloaks that operate at visible light frequencies one step closer by cloaking a three-dimensional object standing in free space with the use of plasmonic metamaterials.
