Spy bugs flying around with stingers...
Email conversations posted on WikiLeaks reveal that Boeing and Hacking Team want drones to carry devices that inject spyware into target computers through WiFi networks.
The Intercept reports: "The plan is described in internal emails from the Italian company Hacking Team, which makes off-the-shelf software that can remotely infect a suspect's computer or smartphone, accessing files and recording calls, chats, emails and more.
A hacker attacked the Milan-based firm earlier this month and released hundreds of gigabytes of company information online.
Among the emails is a recap of a meeting in June of this year, which gives a "roadmap" of projects that Hacking Team's engineers have underway.
On the list: Develop a way to infect computers via drone. One engineer is assigned the task of developing a "mini" infection device, which could be "ruggedized" and "transportable by drone (!)" the write-up notes enthusiastically in Italian.
The request appears to have originated with a query from the Washington-based Insitu, which makes a range of unmanned systems, including the small ScanEagle surveillance drone, which has long been used by the militaries of the U.S. and other countries.
Insitu also markets its drones for law enforcement."

Windows 10 has not even been released yet, but that's a perfect reason to start unearthing a few
Over the coming weeks and months there will undoubtedly be an endless stream of tips, tricks, and tweaks to try out, but how's this for starters?
Windows 10 has a secret screen recording tool that can be used to capture on-screen activity as a video file.
Taking a static screenshot is very simple.
You can either hit the Print Screen key, use the Snipping Tool, or turn to one of the countless screen capture tools out there — many of which are free.
When it comes to capturing video, however, it's something of a different story.
Before you splash out on a dedicated tool such as Camtasia, you might want to try out Windows 10's hidden tool.
It's designed for gamers really, but anyone can use it.
The Game bar is a toolbar which Microsoft meant for gamers to use to capture screenshots of their high scores, as well as video footage of their gaming skills.
Despite the name, it is not limited to use within games...

The next big thing is going to be even smaller than the last...
An international team of scientists has been able to create a microscopic transistor made up of one single molecule and a number of atoms.
Gizmag reports: "Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United States have managed to create a tiny, reliable transistor assembled from a single molecule and a dozen additional atoms.
The transistor reportedly operates so precisely that it can control the flow of single electrons, paving the way for the next generation of nanomaterials and miniaturized electronics."
The team that conducted the research included teams from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Japan.

TIL that Hugh Glass was attacked by a bear, had his leg broken and ribs exposed, was left for dead by his companions who thought he was dead, treated his injuries, and crawled over 200 miles for six weeks back to the nearest settlement, and then set out to find the men who left him to die.

There's not a shred of discernible plot in this teaser trailer, so here's some context: "In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption." Dang. Did I say
