Google teaches computers regret - google is again pushing the envelope, this time in the field of AI
Chinese Space Program confounded by X-Prize - the capitalist model of privatising the space program seems to be paying dividends.
Robotic jet fighter passes two test flights - the first truly robotic war machine, no pilot, no remote control... it does it's own thing... does this sound like skynet to anyone else?
Crowd-sourced choir sings over the internet - such a cool thing!! 2000 people from around the world all pulled together into a single choir.
NASA gives out funding to private space firms - more on the private space industry... I want to holiday in earth orbit... how cool would that be?

Damn you Google!!!!
I was recently the victim of a hack... both my old google account and my World of Warcraft account were hacked. Yes, I know I'm supposed to be tech-savvy... so what did I learn from this whole experience? Three things, really:
1. Blizzard have much better customer service than Google - it's true... their online help forms were easy to find, easy to use and let me provide enough information for the person on the other end. Google on the other hand have been shocking... I doubt I'll ever get my other account back.
2. Keep your security features up to date - If you're using a Google account then you really need to attach your cellphone number to it, have a backup email account linked to it and change your passwords REGULARLY.
3. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket - everything I did was linked to my old Gmail account... so now that I have been locked out of it, I have to start my blog from scratch. Joy. So I'm now using wordpress (as you can see). It seems that splitting up my digital content should make it a little more robust security wise.
I know you've all been gushing to your friends about how awesome this blog is (you have been, right?), so please send them an update pointing to this new address: http://oddthoughtsblog.wordpress.com.
I'm going to be fiddeling with it for a while, trying to get it to look how I like it... but the post schedule should be back to normal now. This week's news is scarce, as I've been busy with trying to get my accounts back... expect regular posts and links from next week.
China's New Drones Raise Eyebrows - China has pulled a fast one on the US, announcing a range of UAV's at least as good (probably better) than the current US crop.
Privative – Noun
That which depends on, or of which the essence is, the absence of something else.
e.g. Darkness, Cold, Death
There you have it. I'll hopefully be transferring the old posts to this new blog in due time and we'll be back up and running in no time. Please tell everyone about the move, and post a comment if you've got something to say.
