GridNetworks' technology delivers high-definition video using file-sharing techniques; Comcast is currently under investigation for hampering some file-sharing traffic by its subscribers

The worlds of science and technology have many famous conjectures, hypotheses and laws: Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann Hypothesis and Moore's Law. microsoft is struggling to confront what Randall Stross, writing for the New York Times, called the Single-Era Conjecture on Sunday. Namely, it's impossible for a company in the computer business to stay on top in two successive technological eras

In a world where security is everything, it pays to plan for it from the ground up. According to Matt Foley, New York Life's assistant vice president of Systems Services, this means picking the right technology and then modifying it so that it provides a high level of security via Managed-File Transfer, as well as dramatic changes in performance....TAKE CONTROL OF REMOTE COMPUTERS Support, configure and install applications and updates remotely for greater efficiency.

Apple has won 'two highly-coveted black pencils at the prestigious D&AD Awards, for the design of the iMac and the iphone,' reports Mark Sweney (guardian.co.uk). Though, according to Cheney, 'a black pencil is notoriously difficult to achieve,' Apple 'has won a total of six black pencils since 1999,' making 'the US technology company the most successful in the 45-year history of the event.'

There are few clearer bellwethers as to the imminent direction of technology than where venture capitalists put their money. They're about making money, so they look for industry patterns they think will lead to sure bets. And that means they invest where the tech industry has begun to coalesce its thinking, not on exotic new science fiction. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, VCs have invested a total of $57 billion in startups -- mostly tech ones -- in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

The first freshman class of Wyoming Catholic College finishes up exams this week. In what's been called 'an audacious experiment,' the college bans cell phones, TVs, and allows only limited access to the internet.

Fallen Andy noted a Physorg story that says 'Engineers and applied physicists from Harvard University have demonstrated the first room-temperature electrically-pumped semiconductor source of coherent Terahertz (THz) radiation, also known as T-rays. The breakthrough in laser technology, based upon commercially available nanotechnology, has the potential to become a standard Terahertz source to support applications ranging from security screening to chemical sensing.' What did you do at the office today honey? Oh, I just demonstrated the first room-temperature electrically-pumped semiconductor source of coherent Terahertz radiation. How was your day dear? of this story at Slashdot.

What's so different about this car, you might ask? Other than the fact it is a 1976 Porsche 914, this convertible is powered by an innovative all-electric propulsion system conceived by students at the Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT).
