ZeniMax Lawsuit Against Oculus Moves Forward
A District Court judge has dismissed motions filed by Facebook and Oculus VR seeking to have the lawsuit filed by ZeniMax Media thrown out.
The ruling late last month by Jorge A.

The technology will have the system capacity to grow to 40-80 Gbps as the market demands, according to Lee Hicks, vice president of network technology for Verizon. This is possible by simply adding new colors of light onto the existing fiber, each augmenting the capacity by up to 10 Gbps.

The good news? This hack requires physical access to the vehicle for it to work. The bad news? The type of device used for the hack is in tons of vehicle already.
