Wow! Almost all new buses built the past few years have USB ports for charging, at least in western Sweden where the Volvo buses are built. What is there to test? Just do it!

There doesn't seem to be anything in particular with this SoC that's been tailored to run Windows, so the premise of the article is turned upside down. It isn't the SoC that's capable of running Windows, it's Windows capable of running on this particular SoC. If they can get Windows running on this, then they could get Windows running on about any ARMv8 based device, given device specific drivers.

Apple are allowing other web rendering engines. They just aren't allowing engines running arbitrary code on their plaform. That includes Java, Flash, JavaScript and emulators. It's the "running arbitrary code" that's the problem, not rendering web pages or showing WebM movies. You are allowed to make such apps.

It seems that Netflix has delivery servers on the Faroe islands north of the UK and south of Iceland. I guss they would need that for its 50.000 residents Since they only have one in China and none i countries like Portugal, Turkey and Israel, that seems reasonable.

Ireland became an EEC member in 1973, before Apple existed.

The are probably using mean red shift to measure the distance. The collective light of all the stars in the galaxy are together red shifted a certain amount that's a direct indication of how far away the galaxy is due to the expanding universe. The farther away the galaxy, the more red shift there is. And, one can measure speeds due to red shift very very accurately, down to tens of meters per second. The error bars here are that the far away galaxy can have a local movement that's unknown, but if the galaxy is a part of a cluster, that factor can be measured and accounted for. This is the most common and simplest way of measuring distance to galaxies, invented by Edwin Hubble in the 30s. The second most common is using Type 1A super novas, but they have to appear to be used, and.. that's a fluke incident, more commonly used to calibrate and confirm the red shift measurements.

There's no way you could use parallax effect to measure distance on a galactic scale. We can measure about 1 milli arc-second with space based telescopes, and that accounts for a distance of 1000 parsecs, i.e. ~30.000 light years. Hence we cant even use it for measuring distance to all stars within the Milky Way.

The Russian Be-42 is also larger and is amphibious. This plane isn't largest anything however you slice and dice it. It's fuselage is suspiciously similar to Be-42 too.. China has a habit of building Russian aircraft with local modifications, like the wing and motors in this case.

This sounds like an excellent complementary feature for malware to trigger for a DoS attack.

This is excellent. I think they should combine a plant like this with wind turbines and wave plants as well. They won't hinder one another, and they could reuse a lot of infrastructure and space.

San Bernadino County didn't use a properly applied MDM solution. If they had, this wouldn't be an issue. One would hope that this is a wake-up call for similar organizations.

Swift! Apple just released their new programming language as OpenSource and it is the future for all development for Apple's platforms. The scope for Swift is enormous: use it for everything from operating systems to scripting. Swift builds upon their already open development technologies: llvm, clang and lldb and Swift will fit in nicely here.

but the terrorists in Paris seems to have used plain old unencrypted SMS, in French no less. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...

Wouldn't virtualization be a viable option here?

There are. Inflation made it so that we speak of the "visible universe" which is what we can see, in contrast to the rest of the universe which we cannot see.
