New 50 Cent Game...
(IGN.com) Aaron Blean, Producer on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, is in a precarious and arguably unenviable position – defending a sequel for a game that was roundly accepted as being pretty lousy when it was released back in 2005. It was based on gangsta rapper 50 Cent and his crew, G-Unit and it shoehorned a whole lot of gang violence into a shooter frame, opening it up to mainstream gamers and controversy from the wider public in one slick motion. It got panned by critics, but ended up generating some serious sales.
In Chinese Hacker News...
(DefenseTech) Multiple sources are reporting that hackers have penetrated the email system of the White House.
People described as "US government cyber experts" are said to suspect the cyber raids were sponsored by the Chinese government. These sophisticated, targeted attacks repeatedly penetrated the unclassified network's defenses. The breaches seem to closely follow the "Grain of Sands" technique used by Chinese intelligence agencies.

In Stealth Airlift News...
(DefenseTech) Another intriguing idea that emerged from this week's Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments talk comes from Bob Martinage who discussed the Special Operations Community's airlift shortfall.
In Pentagon News...
(DefenseTech) The Pentagon has suffered a direct hit from a cyber attack. The weapon used is said to be a hybrid computer worm/virus. Insiders say the hybrid rapidly spread through the thousands of interconnected defense computer networks. A computer worm is different from a computer virus. A worm is thought to be more dangerous because it can run itself where as a virus needs a host program to run. The DoD responded quickly and has taken steps to slow the advancement of the worm/virus by quarantining networks and systems until the worm/virus can be removed.
In Military News....
(DefenseTech) The battle over how many F-22 Raptors the U.S. Air Force requires is revealing some nasty infighting as the White House administration change nears.
The Defense Secretary staff has told Air Force planners not to talk to congressional staffers and to work only through the offices of Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England and acquisition chief John Young.

In DNA News...
(ScienceDaily) The human immune system is a brilliantly adaptable weapon against foreign invaders. But it all depends on the work of specialized cells called lymphocytes that have made a risky evolutionary gambit to mutate their own DNA. New research published in Nature shows for the first time that a molecule devoted to DNA repair plays a broader role in this genetic reshuffling — called recombination — than scientists had thought.

Einstein Has The Master Plan...
(PhysOrg.com) It's taken more than a century, but Einstein's celebrated formula e=mc2 has finally been corroborated, thanks to a heroic computational effort by French, German and Hungarian physicists.
In Health Food News...
(MedicinalFoodNews.com) It is not a coincidence that when people go for diet counselling as a way to lose weight, one of the first recommendations is to increase intake of fruits and vegetables. Traditionally, fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and often fibre, and so it just makes sense to have them as part of a good diet.
Time Travel Coming Soon?
(PhysOrg.com) -- If space-time were constructed in such a way that you could travel back in time, it would create some pretty strange effects. One of these oddities, as many people know, is the “grandfather paradox.” Here, a person travels back in time to kill their grandfather before the person’s father is born, thus preventing their own birth.
Flying Cars Coming Soon?
(Wired.com) The closest we've come to a flying car is the one sitting in the Jetsons' driveway. That doesn't keep the dreamers from trying. We've already seen Moller's Skycar, the Transition from Terrafugia, and the AirCar. Now a British company led by a globe-trotting adventurer is jumping -- or is that parachuting? -- into the fray.
Another Universe Generator?
(Wired.com) The nuclear waste buried beneath Yucca Mountain will be there for millennia, untouchable and lethal. Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats would put that time and radioactivity to use by turning the dump into a generator of new universes.

Overclockers Have Zen!
(PhysOrg.com) -- AMD has been showing off their soon to be released 45nm "Deneb" desktop chips which have been overclocked to 6.3Ghz. Unless you can get your hands on some liquid nitrogen, don´t expect to overclock this chip to 6.3Ghz. The Phenom II parts were also able to hit 4GHz with air cooling and 5GHz with dry ice cooling.
