And others.

The excellent Ron Bailey at Reason is all over it too.

Boeing's Directed Energy Weapon Destroys Sub-launched Missile

Boeing's Directed Energy Weapon Destroys Sub-launched Missile (Slashdot discussion)
Reuters Story:

The agency said in a statement the test took place at 8:44 p.m. PST (11:44 p.m. EST) on Thursday /0444 GMT on Friday) at Point Mugu's Naval Air Warfare Center-Weapons Division Sea Range off Ventura in central California.

"The Missile Defense Agency demonstrated the potential use of directed energy to defend against ballistic missiles when the Airborne Laser Testbed (ALTB) successfully destroyed a boosting ballistic missile" the agency said.

The high-powered Airborne Laser system is being developed by Boeing Co., the prime contractor, and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.

Boeing produces the airframe, a modified 747 jumbo jet, while Northrop Grumman supplies the higher-energy laser and Lockheed Martin is developing the beam and fire control systems.

Good Morning World!
Google's new thingie coming under geek criticism:


CNET identifies a central obstacle Buzz will have to overcome to gain traction: "The problem, however, will be the increasing backlash Google is seeing from the general public over how much data the company already controls on their online habits."
Sorry, there is no freaking way that is a general public backlash.  It is a geek, but in the know geek, objection.  Most don't give a care or they are unaware.
PC World coverage


I'm typing this on a netbook with no hard drive, not using a chip from Intel or AMD, and powered by AA batteries. Eight rechargeable AAs, to be precise, in a bank of cells right where a Li-Ion battery would sit in a conventional laptop. The batteries charge in place, too (regulation prevents overcharging) meaning that the power cord is a simple three-prong-to-cloverleaf cord, no wall-wart required. It's the EduBookfrom Xcore (see that page for some photos of the internals, too), and it's a cool concept. Despite some warts, it's one of the most interesting things I ran into on the CES show floor last month (Xcore's Michael Barnes kindly supplied the laptop, straight from the display case). Read on for my review

Water on Enceladus
"Scientists working on the Cassini space mission have found negatively charged water ions in the ice plume of Enceladus. Their findings, based on analysis from data taken in plume fly-throughs in 2008 and reported in the journal Icarus, provide evidence for the presence of liquid water, which suggests the ingredients for life inside the icy moon. The Cassini plasma spectrometer, used to gather this data, also found other species of negatively charged ions including hydrocarbons."

Amazon has acquired Touchco, a start-up company developed by NYU's Media Research Lab that specializes in touch screen technology, hinting that a touch-screen Kindle e-reader may be in the works. Neither side has disclosed the terms of the deal.
Touchco uses a technology known as "Force Sensitive Resistance" that has been in place since 1979, said Ken Perlin, NYU professor of computer science and co-founder of Touchco.
The technology allows "variations in pressure on a thin-sheet material to be converted into varying electrical conductance," Perlin said. The Touchco team developed a method, known as Interpolating Force Sensitive Resistance, that can distinguish between the different pressures recorded.

Suki's Morning Links

Sorry for neglecting this blog so much. The recent posts haven't had much besides book news.

Over at the other blog, I posted some new Snowpocalypse news, Super Bowl discussions, that Audi Green Police ad and bits of this and that.  With lovely illustrations, of course ;)
