Israeli jets target Gaza tunnels

Israel has bombed supply tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip in a second day of intense air raids aimed at forcing Hamas militants to halt rocket fire.

Fifth CDMA network launched in Hong Kong

Network will cover the Hong Kong airport, all Mass Transit Railway stations, road tunnels and border control points.

Israel Pushes Ahead as Gaza Assault Enters Day 5

Israel rejected international pressure for a two-day cease-fire with Hamas and sent warplanes Wednesday to demolish smuggling tunnels that are the lifeline of Gaza's Islamic rulers.

Israel bombs Gaza into the night

Israeli air attacks on the Gaza Strip has resumed after a three-hour truce to allow in humanitarian aid, with border tunnels apparently the main target.

Mediators Seek Anti-Tunnel Plan

An Israeli police officer in Sderot removes a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip by Hamas fighters. An Israeli military spokeswoman said Hamas had used tunnels into Egypt to acquire 100 tons of explosives in the past year.

Security Flaws In Aussie Net Filter Exposed

Faldo writes "There's a three part interview with a computer security expert on BanThisURL that goes into the flaws in the Aussie net filtering scheme. In addition to SSH tunnels and proxies, more worrying problems like trojaning the boxes to set up man in the middle attacks (which the interviewee has done in his lab), cross site scripting and the Australian blacklist leaking are all discussed. Worrying and relevant, especially since Thailand's blacklist has just been leaked."

iPhone at Shinkansen

I have already connected to the internet successfully at various Shinkanzen "bullet" trains between Tokyo and Nagoya with my Softbank (Japan) issued iPhone. (The only problem is lost connection in tunnels.) Most recently I successfully made a bid to eBay while travelling at full speed. (I won the bid from a seller in Australia and have receved the product).

First Images Emerge of Damage to the LHC, Replacements Arrive

On September 19th, CERN announced that the Large Hadron Collider had suffered a major incident, known as a "quench". An electrical short between two of the superconducting magnets had kick-started a helium coolant leak inside the tunnels housing the accelerator ring. The quench caused the magnets to rapidly heat up, severely damaging them. The violent release of coolant ripped equipment from their concrete anchors, ensuring a huge repair operation would need to be carried out. However, it was a while before engineers were able to access the damage and the news wasn't good: The LHC would be out of commission until the spring of 2009 at the earliest. That was such a sad day.

Researchers Test Whether Sharks Enjoy Christmas Songs

Scientists plan to test whether sharks enjoy listening to Christmas pop songs, after US research showed fish could recognize melody. Chris Brown, senior marine biologist at the Loch Lomond aquarium, said seasonal music would be played through walkthrough underwater tunnels where they can be heard by dozens of nurse sharks, black-tip reef sharks, and ray species. Experts will then monitor the sharks' reactions to different songs. We'll play everything from Kim Wilde and Mel Smith's Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade to Wham's Last Christmas. We may find they prefer something softer like White Christmas by Bing Crosby," Brown said. Thank you for answering this question science.

Improving Mobile Internet Access on High-Speed Trains

A new development by the UK's University of York could improve mobile internet access on trains which rely on satellite links for their data backhaul provider. In order to offer internet services in any location, trains need to be equipped with a dish, or 'reflector', that both transmits to and receives signals from an orbiting satellite. At the moment this is only possible on a relatively small number of routes where there is sufficient headroom between the carriages and tunnels or overhead cables.
