Today they announced the SkyRanger a bigger brother to their Scout drone (the one that the Libyan rebels used back in 2011). This one claims flight time of close to an hour, streaming 1080p30 HD video, a range of over 3 miles and a camera that can shoot 15 Megapixel stills and thermal video simultaneously. Not only that but it pops out of a backpack and is ready to fly instantly. It ain't cheap, but it can fly at 40 mph!"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=5-Pound+UAV+Flies+For+50+Minutes%2C+Streams+HD+From+Over+3+Miles%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1894N83"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F23%2F1748243%2F5-pound-uav-flies-for-50-minutes-streams-hd-from-over-3-miles%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/1748243/5-pound-uav-flies-for-50-minutes-streams-hd-from-over-3-miles?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/1748243/5-pound-uav-flies-for-50-minutes-streams-hd-from-over-3-miles?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3779391&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c536191/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664363983/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c536191/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664363983/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c536191/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664363983/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c536191/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/1faRaRIE2II" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 23 May 2013 20:16:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c536191/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C17482430C50Epound0Euav0Eflies0Efor0E50A0Eminutes0Estreams0Ehd0Efrom0Eover0E30Emiles0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothycanada2013-05-23T20:16:00Z1so-much-better-than-model-rocketstechnology1,1,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c536191/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C17482430C50Epound0Euav0Eflies0Efor0E50A0Eminutes0Estreams0Ehd0Efrom0Eover0E30Emiles0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/lvADFi4UGrI/story01.htmNew submitter c0d3g33k writes "Google Project Hosting announced changes to the Download service on Wednesday, offering only 'increasing misuse of the service and a desire to keep our community safe and secure' by way of explanation. Effective immediately, existing projects that offer no downloads and all new projects will no longer be able to create downloads. Existing projects which currently have downloads will lose the ability to create new downloads by January 2014, though existing downloads will remain available 'for the foreseeable future.' Google Drive is recommended as an alternative, but this will likely have to be done manually by project maintainers since the ability to create and manage downloads won't be part of the Project Hosting tools.

Sears Holdings is seeking to convert former Sears and Kmart stores into Internet data hubs. Some stand-alone stores and distribution centers may be repurposed as data centers, while mall-based stores can be converted into disaster recovery sites, the company says, offering access to stores and eateries for displaced workers who may be on site for weeks. Then there's the wireless tower opportunity. Seventy percent of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a Sears or Kmart store, and these rooftops can be leased to fill gaps in cell coverage. It's not the first effort to convert stores into IT infrastructure, as Rackspace is headquartered in an old mall, and companies have built data centers in malls in Indiana and Maryland. But Sears, which operates 25 million square feet of real estate, hopes to make this strategy work at scale."

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, also known as GOES-13, reportedly ceased to operate as of Tuesday, making it impossible to predict weather patterns on the East Coast." A note at NOAA's page for the GOES family of satellites says "GOES-13 imaging and sounding operations suspended.

(Mentioned before on Slashdot.) Ethan Siegel of ScienceBlogs takes a skeptical look at the buzz surrounding this paper, and asks some seemingly obvious questions, pointing out various ways in which the cold-fusion / cheap-energy claims could be either confirmed or debunked. First time accepted submitter CdXiminez writes with a capsule of Siegel's points: "What would it take to convince a reasonable observer that you've got a controlled nuclear reaction going on here? Things not shown in the earlier report: Show that nuclear transmutation has in fact taken place; Start the device operating by whatever means you want, then disconnect all external power to it, and allow it to run; Place a gamma-ray detector around the device; Accurately monitor the power drawn from all sources to the device at all times, while also monitoring the energy output from the device at all times."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=A+Cold+Look+at+Cold+Fusion+Claims%3A+Why+E-Cat+Looks+Like+a+Hoax%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11eV3pI"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F23%2F155211%2Fa-cold-look-at-cold-fusion-claims-why-e-cat-looks-like-a-hoax%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/155211/a-cold-look-at-cold-fusion-claims-why-e-cat-looks-like-a-hoax?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/155211/a-cold-look-at-cold-fusion-claims-why-e-cat-looks-like-a-hoax?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3779025&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c509922/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664356934/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c509922/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664356934/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c509922/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664356934/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c509922/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/200ZQpxw6Rg" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 23 May 2013 15:30:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c509922/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C1552110Ca0Ecold0Elook0Eat0Ecold0Efusion0Eclaims0Ewhy0Ee0Ecat0Elooks0Elike0Ea0Ehoax0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothypower2013-05-23T15:30:00Z2judas-gets-too-little-credithardware2,2,1,1,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c509922/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C1552110Ca0Ecold0Elook0Eat0Ecold0Efusion0Eclaims0Ewhy0Ee0Ecat0Elooks0Elike0Ea0Ehoax0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/GB_-dvCcfx8/story01.htmVigile writes "When NVIDIA released the GTX Titan in February, it was the first consumer graphics card to use the GK110 GPU from NVIDIA that included 2,688 CUDA cores / shaders and an impressive 6GB of GDDR5 frame buffer. However, it also had a $1000 price tag that was the limiting specification for most gamers. With today's release of the GeForce GTX 780 they are hoping to utilize more of the GK110 silicon they are getting from TSMC while offering a lower cost version with performance within spitting range. The GTX 780 uses the same chip but disables a handful more compute units to bring the shader count down to 2,304 &mdash; still an impressive bump over the 1,536 of the GTX 680. The 384-bit memory bus remains though the frame buffer is cut in half to 3GB. Overall, the performance of the new card sits squarely between the GTX Titan ($1000) and AMD's Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition ($439), just like its price. The question is, are PC gamers willing to shell out $220+ dollars MORE than the HD 7970 for somewhere in the range of 15-25% more performance?" As you might guess, there's similarly spec-laden coverage at lots of other sites, including Tom's, ExtremeTech, and TechReport.

Techdirt points out that Dotcom isn't just asking for financial help: Instead, he's asking companies which use two-factor authentication "to help fund his defense, in exchange for not getting sued for the patent. He points out that his actual funds are still frozen by the DOJ and (more importantly) that his case actually matters a great deal to Google, Facebook and Twitter, because the eventual ruling will likely set a precedent that may impact them -- especially around the DMCA." Update: 05/23 14:23 GMT by T : Why is this relevant to Twitter? If you're not an active Twitter user, you might not realize that (after some well publicized twitter-account hijackings), the company is trying to regain some ground on security.

Their solution is based on a special kind of one-time pad that generates a random key through the complexity of its physical structure, namely shining a light through a diffusive glass plate."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=One-Time+Pad+From+Caltech+Offers+Uncrackable+Cryptography%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F13LrUOT"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F23%2F1232212%2Fone-time-pad-from-caltech-offers-uncrackable-cryptography%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/1232212/one-time-pad-from-caltech-offers-uncrackable-cryptography?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/05/23/1232212/one-time-pad-from-caltech-offers-uncrackable-cryptography?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3778599&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c4e9c98/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665327780/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c4e9c98/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665327780/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c4e9c98/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665327780/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c4e9c98/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/HWAapjzzKj4" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 23 May 2013 12:44:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c4e9c98/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C12322120Cone0Etime0Epad0Efrom0Ecaltech0Eoffers0Euncrackable0Ecryptography0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothyencryption2013-05-23T12:44:00Z84unless-you-crack-the-glassit84,83,66,58,14,8,5http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c4e9c98/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C230C12322120Cone0Etime0Epad0Efrom0Ecaltech0Eoffers0Euncrackable0Ecryptography0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/cMFK3a-xzu0/story01.htmwalterbyrd writes "Late last year, a vigorous and secretive patent troll began sending out thousands of letters to small businesses all around the country, insisting that they owed between $900 and $1,200 per worker just for using scanners.

The funds were generated by Tesla through a recent sale of their stock, worth close to a billion dollars. The stock price had risen sharply after the company reported its first profitable quarter (and the stock still sits roughly 50% higher than before their earnings release). Today's payment of $451.8 million finished off both the loan's principal and its interest, nine years before the final payment was due. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, 'I would like to thank the Department of Energy and the members of Congress and their staffs that worked hard to create the ATVM program, and particularly the American taxpayer from whom these funds originate. I hope we did you proud.'<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Tesla+Motors+Repays+%24465M+Government+Loan+9+Years+Early%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10QT0GT"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F22%2F229218%2Ftesla-motors-repays-465m-government-loan-9-years-early%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/05/22/229218/tesla-motors-repays-465m-government-loan-9-years-early?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/05/22/229218/tesla-motors-repays-465m-government-loan-9-years-early?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3775987&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c46d057/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664235444/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c46d057/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664235444/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c46d057/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664235444/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2c46d057/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/EeqhtEDwYJs" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 22 May 2013 22:26:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c46d057/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C220C2292180Ctesla0Emotors0Erepays0E465m0Egovernment0Eloan0E90Eyears0Eearly0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillgovernment2013-05-22T22:26:00Z1electric-moneyyro1,1,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2c46d057/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C220C2292180Ctesla0Emotors0Erepays0E465m0Egovernment0Eloan0E90Eyears0Eearly0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/61U4iPxXZjM/story01.htmpsykocrime writes "The crazy kids at Fogbeam Labs have a new blog post positing that there is a trend towards advanced projects in NLP, Information Retrieval, Big Data and the Semantic Web moving to the Apache Software Foundation. Considering that Apache UIMA is a key component of IBM Watson, is it wrong to believe that the organization behind Hadoop, OpenNLP, Jena, Stanbol, Mahout and Lucene will ultimately be the home of a real 'Star Trek Computer'? Quoting: 'When we talk about how the Star Trek computer had &ldquo;access to all the data in the known Universe&rdquo;, what we really mean is that it had access to something like the Semantic Web and the Linked Data cloud. Jena provides a programmatic environment for RDF, RDFS and OWL, SPARQL and includes a rule-based inference engine. ... In addition to supporting the natural language interface with the system, OpenNLP is a powerful library for extracting meaning (semantics) from unstructured data - specifically textual data in an unstructured (or semi structured) format. An example of unstructured data would be the blog post, an article in the New York Times, or a Wikipedia article. OpenNLP combined with Jena and other technologies, allows &ldquo;The computer&rdquo; to &ldquo;read&rdquo; the Web, extracting meaningful data and saving valid assertions for later use.'"
