Sweden Probing Cisco, NASA Hacks
Swedish investigators are probing a hacker U.S. authorities accuse of unlawfully intruding into Cisco Systems, NASA’s Ames Research Center and NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Division, the authorities said Monday. Philip Gabriel Pettersson, known in the hacking world as “ Stakkato ,” allegedly seized computer code that controls internet traffic. After the 2004 breach of Cisco, the proprietary source code for Cisco’s IOS operating system was discovered on a Russian website. Pettersson was indicted in the United States in May on five hacking counts , (.pdf) but could not be brought from Sweden to the United States for trial. Sweden does not extradite its own citizens, but said it was examining whether to prosecute him in Sweden after U.S. authorities in San Francisco initiated that request. “The intrusions to Cisco Company and NASA are regarded as computer …

NASA Boeing 747SP Flying Observator...Video courtesy NASA This 107 second video clip shows nasa's flying observatory as it resumes test flights including the first in-flight opening of the telescope cavity door. The Next Generation Airborne Observatory Astronomical objects emit many forms of energy, which neither the human eye nor ordinary telescopes can detect. Infrared is one form of this invisible energy. SOFIA is an airborne observatory that will study the universe in the infrared spectrum. Besides this contribution to science progress, SOFIA will be a major factor in the development of observational techniques, of new instrumentations and in the education of young scientists and teachers in the discipline of infrared astronomy. NASA and the DLR, German Aerospace Center, are working together to create SOFIA — a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems to accommodate a 2.5 meter reflecting telescope. SOFIA will be the largest airborne observatory in the world, and will make observations that are impossible for even the largest and highest of ground-based telescopes. SOFIA is an 80%/20% partnership with the German Space Agency (DLR). The Observatory is being developed for NASA and DLR by a team of international government and industry experts led by Dryden Flight Research Center; the Program is divided into two main "Projects": the Platform Project (the aircraft and its subsystems), managed by DFRC, and the Science Project, managed by ARC. SOFIA will be based at nasa's Dryden <b>...</b>

Cisco Smart Grid - HD Version...Smart Grid is the name for a smart energy system. Cisco defines it as a connected, efficient and reliable end-to-end network that integrates all energy supply and demand sources. End-to-end integration means end-to-end communication and management of huge data flows in real-time. Just like in the internet, instead of routing information flows, the smart grid needs to route electricity flows in the most efficient way.

Space experiment has a sting in the tail for newts - space -
[General Sciences]Spending time in zero gravity could hinder human growth - if we are anything like newts, that is. Eduardo Almeida of NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and his team cut the tails off 16 newts before sending them into space. While the tails did regrow, as they do on Earth, they were less than half as long as normal.
