The summer games in 2016 Rio de Janeiro will see the debut of a sixth Olympic ring. Olympic and Paralympic Games sponsor Visa said Thursday that it will give out NFC-enabled rings that work like prepaid debit cards to the 45 ‘Team Visa’ Olympic athletes it’s sponsoring, that would allow them to make payments around the city with a tap of the finger. “This is a device packed with all the security Visa provides that’s small and not gaudy to wear,” Chris Dean, senior director of Visa’s innovation and strategic partnerships, said while showing off the device Thursday at a press event in Manhattan....

Ars has in the past reported on the attack leverages, which is a well-known issue: iOS devices with Wi-Fi turned on will by default try to link to any access point with a known SSID. Whenever the device is not connected to a network, those SSIDs are transmitted by “probe” messages from the device. An inferior access point could use a probe request capture and pretend as a known network, and then put up a pop-up screen behaving as any web page or app....

The autonomous software functionality referred to as “rolling stop” allows the vehicle to travel through all-way-stop intersections at up to 5.6 miles (9 km) per hour before coming to a complete stop, only if no other cars, pedestrians, or bikes are detected in the vicinity of the intersection. According to a safety recall notice issued by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the self-driving feature threatens driver safety since “failing to stop at a stop sign can increase the risk of a crash....

Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. This has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion. “If we lose mass from the Greenland ice sheet, we are essentially putting mass elsewhere. And as we redistribute the mass, the spin axis tends to find a new direction. And that’s what we mean by polar motion,” said Surendra Adhikari, a researcher with Caltech and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who conducted the work with his colleague Erik Ivins....

The case against Punkt SE was filed by Prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad in 2013. Ingblad is the man behind the operation the raid on Nacka Data Center in December which knocked TPB for almost 3 months. The prosecution argued that the domains registered by Punkt were being used for illegal operation and infringed copyright. Ingblad also argued that since Punkt SE supplies and controls the domains and is therefore liable for their (mis)use, the domains should be dealt with in the same way that other criminal tools would be....

Only two weeks after the Pirate Bay raid sometime in early December the torrent hoisted its pirate flag with a mysterious AES string image at the bottom which displayed an encrypted message for those with the wit to see it. TPB (the priate bay), started to push out tid-bits and hints to encourage users to try their hand at deciphering the code. Dafky2000 stated, “ By analyzing the page source code I could see some irrelevant HTML tags that had no effect....

Simply based on the essential concept of a battery where there is a positive and negative terminal, electrons are generated by chemical reactions inside the battery and accumulate the negative terminal because they are negatively charged. The electrons will flow to the positive terminal once a wire is connected between the two terminals. This wouldn’t be helpful all by itself, but the wire usually also connects a “load”—a light bulb, a motor, a radio circuit—and the energy is connected to power that device....
