We’ve all seen the commercials advertising LifeLock as the savior of identity theft and would pay out high sums of money if a breach occurred. Well a breach has occurred and it was a breach of trust on the part of LifeLock. Numerous court suits were filed in 2008 and now the FTC has stepped in. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.
The FTC charged that LifeLock’s data was not encrypted, and sensitive consumer information was not shared only on a “need-to-know” basis.

At the University of Utah engineers are working on a Robo-arm of sorts. It is a computer-controlled support device that can be used to aid surgeons, artists, electronic repairs, and of course other tasks.

Today is special not only because it’s the first day of Daylight Saving Time, it’s also Pi Day. No not that kind of pie, not American Pie, not the Revenge of the Nerds pie, but the ratio.
It’s hard to pinpoint who, exactly, first became conscious of the constant ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter, as human civilizations seem to have been aware of it as early as 2550 BC.
