Photonen, eine bestimmte Art von Bosonen, bewegen sich mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit über weite Strecken, ohne dabei ihre Information zu verlieren. Diesen einzigartigen Vorteil der Photonen nutzten Wissenschaftler von der Universität Wien in Zusammenarbeit mit Forschern der Universität Jena (Deutschland) aus, um den Prototyp eines Bosonen Sampling Computers zu bauen. Hierbei werden Photonen in ein kompliziertes optisches Netzwerk geschickt, in welchem es viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten gibt, zu einem bestimmten Ausgang zu gelangen. Philip Walther von der Fakultät für Physik erklärt: „Da die Photonen den Gesetzen der Quantenphysik gehorchen, scheinen sie alle möglichen Wege gleichzeitig zu nehmen. Das nennt man Superposition.
You can‘t meet every Tuesday with a killer list and continually have drones drop bombs. You can do that once or twice and say: ‚I shouldn‘t have done that, I‘ve got to stop.‘ But when you do it month in, month out, year in, year out – that‘s a pattern of behavior.“

Chertoff analyzes some of the privacy implications raised by Google Glass but, considering his former position in the DHS and his current role as the head of The Chertoff Group, a „global security advisory firm,“ this editorial comes off as one-sided and tone deaf. Why would someone who seemingly has no concern about government intrusion into people‘s privacy care about a corporation‘s move onto the same turf? Bruce Schneier addresses this dissonance briefly in his post linking to Chertoff‘s editorial.
Body mapping and dance/visual fusions are still explored only in fits and starts, compared to the extent of live music and visual performance in other media. So, it’s encouraging to see this latest experiment from dancer Christian Mio Loclair. Working with Microsoft’s Kinect, the slowly-undulating tendrils of visuals behind him create visual counterpoint for headstands and hip-hop dance techniques.
Mit dem intensiven Einsatz der Drohnentechnologie wächst die Gefahr für die Bevölkerung von ausser Kontrolle geratenen Flugkörpern verletzt oder erschlagen zu werden.

Es gibt zwei Rechtssysteme in unseren Demokratien: Das Eine gilt für das Arbeitsheer der Angestellten, Mittelständler und Lohnsklaven, das Andere gilt für die Elite der Transnationalen Konzerne. Letzteres definieren sie selbst. Sie können zudem in Diktaturen und besonders schwachen Demokratien Menschen und Natur blindwütig ausbeuten und müssen auf die Gewinne, die sie dabei machen, kaum Steuern zahlen.
Und es führt dazu, dass die Konzerne Menschen und Natur blindwütig ausbeuten dürfen, überall dort, wo die Demokratie noch schwächer ist als bei uns oder überhaupt nicht vorhanden ist.

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is the latest corporate-driven agenda in what is commonly called a “free trade agreement,” but which really amounts to ‘cosmopolitical corporate consolidation’: large corporations dictating and directing the policies of states – both nationally and internationally – into constructing structures which facilitate regional and global consolidation of financial, economic, and political power into the hands of relatively few large corporations.
The banks‘ laundering transactions were so brazen that the NSA probably could have spotted them from space.

How does it feel to see the crisis hitting you and your family and you see your life turn upside down in just a couple of years?

How does it feel to see no future for your children here in this country? It doesn’t feel good….

This one is fairly incredible. Bloomberg LP‘s main business is selling ridiculously expensive terminals to Wall Street/financial folks for tracking market information. While I understood why they were able to succeed early on, I‘ve been shocked that the internet hasn‘t seriously disrupted their business over the past decade or so.

Italian yields edged up before a bond sale on Monday, while Bund futures recovered from six-week lows after a European Central Bank policymaker reiterated a deposit rate cut was possible.
„We all agreed in the council that we have to look with care and in that case we may reduce the [deposit] rate. We think that – and I personally think that, this is effective – the economy now is capable of taking it on board. Technically, we are equipped and ready to intervene. There may be unintended consequences – we know we may have to work on that – and we know how to work on that,“ Visco told CNBC on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) meeting in London this weekend.

In 2008 Barack Obama campaigned to end Bush-era policies that, he said, created a false choice between our safety and our ideals. Now that the war in Iraq is over and the war in Afghanistan is winding down, there is no indication the liberal constitutional-law professor will become a peacenik president—or even pull back on some of his more aggressive counterterrorism measures.
That‘s the robot future envisioned by researchers at top U.S. universities including Georgia Tech, MIT, Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. In the collaborative report, they predict that robots will become „as ubiquitous over the next decades as computer technology is today.“
Researchers at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta are programming robots to work together. The scientists believe that in the future, robotic swarms could play an important role in assessing threats at high profile events like the Boston Marathon where two deadly bombs went off last week.
