MIGHT have been done to make benchmarks better but without the realization that it exposed a vulnerability. Often engineering projects are success-oriented, and once the chip was running all of the tests and benchmarks and the performance was good, that may have been as hard as anybody looked. You need to have people whose job it is to break all such new products, but that both costs more and delays the time to market, and executives rarely want either.

Submission + - Satellite spots massive object hidden under the frozen wastes of Antarctica (thesun.co.uk) 5

schwit1 writes: SCIENTISTS believe a massive object which could change our understanding of history is hidden beneath the Antarctic ice.

The huge and mysterious “anomaly” is thought to be lurking beneath the frozen wastes of an area called Wilkes Land. It stretches for a distance of 151 miles across and has a maximum depth of about 848 metres. This “Wilkes Land gravity anomaly” was first uncovered in 2006, when NASA satellites spotted gravitational changes which indicated the presence of a huge object sitting in the middle of a 300 mile wide impact crater.
