Could Implantable LEDs Relieve Your Pain?
If you are going to have LEDs implanted in your skull, you might as well go all out and install a side window and a couple fans too.
Chronic pain is often tough to understand, much less treat. But a new flexible, implantable electronic device could illuminate why certain parts of your body hurt. And down the road, the system, which features a wirelessly activated light-emitting diode (LED), might even be able to provide pain relief with the flip of a switch.

US Advised To Examine 'Hack Back' Options Against China
Congress is considering allowing U.S. companies "hack back" Chinese attackers to recover stolen data. Sounds good to me.
The United States remains ill-prepared to combat state-backed cyber intrusions from China and lawmakers should look at whether U.S.-based companies be allowed to 'hack back' to recover or wipe stolen data, a congressional advisory body said Tuesday.

Rightscorp Burns $4 For Every Dollar Pirates Pay in Fines
At this rate, you'd think these guys would be out of business by now.

Titan Becomes World's Largest GPU-Powered Visualization System for Scientific Discovery
Thanks to our Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform, researchers can now run computations and visualize the results on the same GPUs in a single system — either simultaneously ("in-situ") or separately. And Titan, the U.S.'s most powerful supercomputer, now holds the title of largest GPU-accelerated visualization system in the world. That's a major step forward. Researchers worldwide run high-powered supercomputer simulations to understand how the galaxy formed, how the human brain works and more. Then they create visualizations of their work to gain new insights.
Until recently, researchers did this work on two different systems. They used one for computation (running the science application). Then they switched to another to render the results visually. It could take days or weeks to complete the simulation before they could visualize it. And depending upon the configuration of the data center, this could require moving massive amounts of data from the simulation system to the visualization system. During this process, if researchers found an error or a parameter changed, they would have to re-run the entire simulation and render again. It's an arduous process that could delay scientific results.

Amazon: An Evil Empire Dawns On The Internet of Things
An evil empire? Really? That's a bit much, don't you think?
But Amazon has now drawn a line in the sand -- it will no longer sell Apple or Google's content streaming devices, the Apple TV and the Chromecast. Why? Because neither of these products support playback of Amazon Video.

Google To Contest Russia's Antitrust Ruling On Android
Was there any doubt that Google would contest Russia's antitrust ruling on Android?
Google will contest in court a ruling by Russia's antitrust agency that it broke competition law by abusing its dominant position with its Android mobile platform, the U.S. technology company said on Tuesday. Russia's competition watchdog ruled in September that Google had broken the law by requiring pre-installation of certain applications on mobile devices running on Android.

Overstock.com Has A Bunker Full Of Gold, Silver, And Food In Case Of Financial Collapse
I wonder if Overstock.com also gives employees a stocked bug out bag full of MREs and bottled water to keep under their desks?
Unless you work at Overstock. The publicly-traded company has disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it has about $6 million of gold and $4.3 million worth of silver that could be divided up and used for payroll (probably small coins) and also a 30-day supply of food. It's all stashed in an undisclosed location, and the company thinks of it as an insurance policy.

ASUS Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 LGA 1151 Review
In our opinion ASUS' TUF series motherboards target the sweet spot in regard to features, price, and performance. TUF motherboards give you more features than most mid-range motherboards but lack certain features found on the high end. The Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 is the flagship part of the current TUF series.
