...Palin's security questions, it turns out, were some of the most commonly used online. "You could argue that she was dumb for picking these questions and providing her correct information," says Markus Jakobsson, a principal scientist at the Palo Alto Research Center, a subsidiary of Xerox. "But we shouldn't judge her on her ability to make security-related decisions ... This is not about Yahoo! This is about industry failure." (Jakobsson is currently developing a security system that prompts users to answer a battery of preference questions when they establish an account. If they forget their password, users must...
...steps for the lunar program are a soft landing with a moon rover slated for 2012 and launching another rover and returning with samples in 2017. While there have been declarations by some space officials of when China could put a man on the moon - Ouyang Ziyuan, the chief scientist of China's Chang'e lunar probe, once said 2017; the deputy head of the Shenzhou program said 2020 - there is no official timetable. The U.S., the only nation to land astronauts on the moon, says it hopes to return by 2020. But it may be racing China...

...legends are being paid millions to pull a simple trick on you. But at that point, your ten dollars are already spent. Immerse yourself in canned, simplistic dialogue and predictable plot twists, then marvel at De Niro and Pacino’s flabby, AARP exteriors and the hot forensic scientist babes who are inexplicably attracted to them! The problem is that “Righteous Kill” relies upon clichés instead of taking time to actually develop. The audience is deprived of smart, realistic dialogue that does not explain everything for them. Despite the considerable acting range...
...Composed of nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen, the compound was invented in the 1830s by a German scientist and came into fashion as a material used to make plastics and laminates in the late 1930s. When combined with formaldehyde and exposed to extreme heat, melamine creates a moldable material that, when cooled, is virtually unbreakable and dishwasher-safe. This made it the durable dishware of choice on some U.S. Navy ships during World War II. After the war, designer Russel Wright and the St. Louis-based company Branchell, among others, developed molded dinnerware out of melamine, known as Melmac, designing sets...
