A software glitch caused the crash of an Airbus A400M military transport aircraft, claims German newspaper Der Spiegel (Google translation). The accident, which happened in Seville on the vehicle's first production test flight on 9 May, killed four crew members. Airbus is investigating the system controlling the aircraft's engines. The early suspicions are that it was an installation problem, rather than a design problem.

Space boat won't really catch on with it's measly 29 knots. Why? Jetskis do 69.5181 knots.
But it is quite novel. Where it could work well is in resorts like Bora Bora where jetskis always ruin the solitude of the place.

The Pirate Bay will probably never be the darling of any government; we've seen various Pirate Bay domains cracked down on, and the arrests of site founders.
An anonymous reader writes now with the news reported this morning by TorrentFreak that: the Stockholm District Court has ordered two key domains owned by The Pirate Bay to be seized.
While the ruling means that the site will lose its famous ThePirateBay.se domain, don't expect the site to simply disappear.
TPB informs TorrentFreak that they have plenty more domains left in store.
From the point of view of the down-crackers, It's a hard problem, particularly when it's easy for people to spin up their own instances of the site.
TIL when the co-founder of Pirate Bay was arrested he asked to phone his girlfriend so she could watch his house before leaving with the police. The police allowed him to make the call, but instead he used an app on his phone that immediately encrypted all of his computers at his work and home.

Ok...It is 1965 and i read in Popular Mechanics magazine that one day TV's will be thin. This is at a period of time when TV's are CRT's with large box enclousures.
Then I read that the TV's will be so thin they will be able to hang on walls.
And now I am told that they will be on walls like wallpaper.
Guess what, it is now a reality!
