iPhone App Developed To Control NASA Robot 26

andylim writes "At EclipseCon 2010 attendees were challenged to create a robotic control system to drive a NASA-provided robot across a prototypical Mars landscape. To win the EclipseCon e4-rover Mars challenge, developers could either prove their e4 programming skills by creating the best e4-Rover client, or use an e4 client to operate the Rover through a series of tasks to collect points. Software architects Peter Friese and Heiko Behrens built an iPhone client for the EclipseCon challenge which controls the robot around NASA's Mars landscape using the iPhone's accelerometer."

Why not just encrypt your data?
Or make encrypted file image that you could mount with a password of key file.
on a mac it's trivial but i don't see whay it should be hard on any plaform. that way the network admins can not read of your documents

Feed Brain Networks Strengthened By Closing Ion Channels, Research Could Lead To ADHD (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed on Friday April 20, 2007 @03:12PM

Yale School of Medicine and University of Crete School of Medicine researchers report the first evidence of a molecular mechanism that dynamically alters the strength of higher brain network connections. This discovery may help the development of drug therapies for the cognitive deficits of normal aging, and for cognitive changes in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

We forget about the amount of electrical fields created by wired electronics it is interesting to see how much data is transmitted wirelessly even without being meant to. I know its a blog but the subject was too good to pass up.
