To the edge of a black hole

This close-up view here represents the immediate vicinity of the black hole, with the event horizon depicted as a black sphere. The surrounding disk of gas, represented by white and blue rings, whirls around the black hole. The white column over the pole of the black hole represents a jet of gas being ejected from the vicinity of the black hole at nearly the speed of light. NASA [View Larger Image]

Online Security Hole Slowly Being Fixed Giant Online Security Hole Getting Fixed, Slowly

A giant vulnerability in the Internet's design is allowing criminals to silently redirect traffic to Web sites under their control. The problem is being fixed, but its extent remains unknown and many people are still at risk.

Ozone hole bigger in 2008 than last year

(CNN) -- The ozone hole over Antarctica in 2008 is larger in both size and ozone loss than last year, but not as large as in 2006, the European Space Agency said Tuesday.

Another iPhone Security Hole Found By 12yr Old

A new security hole that exploits the iPhone's emergency call feature in password-protected mode was stumbled upon by a 12 year old and his father. The flaw is almost the same as the one discovered a few weeks back.

Another iPhone Security Hole in Password-Protected Mode

While this iPhone security hole isn't nearly as gaping as the last one we covered (which was fixed by Apple), it too exploits the emergency call feature in password-protected mode. In password-protected mode, there's an option to disable SMS preview, so if someone picks up your locked phone, they can't see incoming text messages. However, if you activate a locked phone's emergency call mode, and it receives a text message, it'll show you the full text in preview. And yes, this is with 2.1. Again, a sorta minor security oversight, but if you're super-secret about your texts (for whatever reasons), this is definitely a problem and needs to be fixed in the next update.

Rechargeable Digital Pin-hole Spy Camera + USB Drive Disgused as Working Pen (2GB)£22

Some countries and states may be require you to inform the party who's being recorded about the pin hole camera

Plugging the giant security hole in the world wide web

India has taken a lead in fixing the latest security hole that is threatening massive hacking and phishing attacks. It is among the first five countries worldwide and the first in Asia to have decided on adopting the new security extensions being pushed by the organisation overseeing website allocations globally, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

Apple Won't Fix iPhone Passcode Hole Until September (NewsFactor)

An unauthorized user can exploit the security hole simply by double-pressing the button to make an emergency call. That behavior brings up the owner's preferred contacts and clicking on a number provides full access to the phone's features. Clicking on an e-mail provides access to all e-mail. And clicking on a contact name provides full access to all contacts data.

Champions Trophy change leaves hole in NZ schedule

The decision to postpone the Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan will leave a big hole in New Zealand's international cricket schedule until October.

Apple will plug iPhone security hole

Apple plans to release a fix next month for a security hole that enables someone to access data on a password-protected iPhone, according to a report.

Scientists take record look at black hole

U.S. astronomers say they've taken the closest look ever at the giant black hole in the center of our galaxy and at some of the highest resolution ever made.

The Milky Way's Hidden Black Hole

A giant x-ray flare from the heart of our galaxy is helping researchers test ideas about a black hole they believe lurks there

Apple Won't Fix iPhone Passcode Hole Until September

Apple, Inc. has admitted a passcode security vulnerability in its iPhone software, but said a patch won't be released until September. Apple called the problem "minor" and recommends resetting the settings as a workaround. The security hole in Apple's iPhone gives an attacker access, and a security expert called the risk unacceptable.

Worst Case: Collider Spawns Planet-Devouring Black Hole

With the Large Hadron Collider firing up for the first time Wednesday, some critics have speculated that the world's biggest atom smasher could spawn a black hole that would devour Earth.

Virtual telescope provides historical view of black hole

Using a virtual telescope more than 2,800 miles across, an international team of astronomers got the closest image ever of what they're calling a super-massive black hole in the middle of our galaxy.

MPAA Want to Bung-Up "Analog Hole," Disable Piracy-Enabling Cable Box Outputs

Movies movies movies... we all love a good show, but the lovely MPAA is up to some pretty strange shenanigans to ensure that you get to see some shows just once—until they're out on DVD at least. The fab guys at the Motion Picture Association of America are petitioning the FCC on behalf of some major movie studios to close the "analog hole" that may allow people to record movies broadcast on cable before they hit DVD. "The Petitioners' theatrical movies are too valuable in this early distribution window to risk their exposure to unauthorized copying" runs the argument, and is why the MPAA wants "selectable output control" (SOC) enabled on some cable box outputs.

PNA versus DNA: Effects of Structural Fluctuations on Electronic Structure and Hole-Transport Mechanisms

The effects of structural fluctuations on charge transfer in double-stranded DNA and peptide nucleic acid (PNA) are investigated. A palindromic sequence with two guanine bases that play the roles of hole donor and acceptor, separated by a bridge of two adenine bases, was analyzed using combined molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum-chemical methods. Surprisingly, electronic structure calculations on individual MD snapshots show significant frontier orbital electronic population on the bridge in ~10% of the structures. Electron-density delocalization to the bridge is found to be gated by fluctuations of the covalent conjugated bond structure of the aromatic rings of the nucleic bases. It is concluded, therefore, that both thermal hopping and superexchange should contribute significantly to charge transfer even in short DNA/PNA fragments.

Researchers Link Radio Dishes To Create Virtual Telescope And View Super-Massive Black Hole

An international team, led by astronomers at the MIT Haystack Observatory, has obtained the closest views ever of what is believed to be a super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Boy, 11, fires ace in just his 3rd time golfing

Golfing for just the third time, 11-year-old Allan Saylor was whacking the ball around with a friend, not even keeping score. A hole-in-one? No big deal. The sixth-grader fired the ace Wednesday on the 150-yard, par-3 sixth hole at the neighboring Mandan Municipal Golf Course, using a driver borrowed from his buddy.
