Despite a wealth of security knowledge and developers’ access to advanced tools, many software security risks remain. Analysts say that vulnerabilities arise because many software developers do not understand how to build security into their code. “There’s a lot more acceptance of security as part of the process now, but historically developers have never been [...]

Today I just wanted to download a book from a file-sharing server. I just stuck with the filtering notification. It seems all famous file-sharing websites are filtered. This is not fair. Almost all freeware are hosted on free file-sharing servers. Indeed, why most iranian cannot stop thinking of ways to bypass the filtering system?

Once again, I wanna launch a shuttle. A great shuttle! My first shuttle fell down and exploded as its fuel went over. It was quite an expensive failure. This one is much more powerful and complex, but I can only build it. I’d still need someone launch it. I’ve gotta go. See you on the [...]

ACM has named Eric Brewer the recipient of the 2009 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences for his contributions to the design and development of highly scalable information technology services. Brewer laid the foundation for the giant data centers that make possible search, email, social networks, mapping, and other Internet services, and also enable [...]

German researchers have developed a random number generator that uses a computer memory element, a flip-flop, to create an extra layer of randomness. The flip-flop switches randomly between two states of either one or zero. Just before the switch, the flip-flop is in a “metastable state” where its behavior cannot be predicted. After the metastable [...]

University of California, Berkeley researchers have created energy-scavenging nanofibers that can be woven into clothing and textiles. The nano-sized generators have piezoelectric properties, which enables them to use mechanical stress, stretches, and twists to create electricity. “This technology could eventually lead to wearable smart clothes that can power handheld electronics through ordinary body movements,” says [...]

China has demonstrated the most growth in scientific research of any country in the past three decades and is on pace to overtake the United States as the world’s scientific leader by 2020, according to a recent Thomson Reuters study. The study found that China has experienced a 64-fold increase in peer-reviewed scientific papers since [...]
