It powered most ATMs worldwide until a couple of years ago, and many still rely on it. The last service pack, the famous SP3, solved almost every problem an average user had with Windows. The list is endless, but random crashes to instability during average usage were commonplace. After downloading XP, you can rely on Rufus, a bootable creator for Windows OSes, to create bootable media. Virtual machine users can skip directly to the installation and start using the legacy OS....

The hacker known as 4a.m. for the last few years has been methodically cracking the DRM on old Apple II games and uploading them to the Internet Archive. 4a.m. is looked at as more of a game preservation hero than a bandit, since most of the games are entirely out of print, all-but-impossible to find, and run only on old computers. He told Motherboard that he has cracked 683 games until now and several games that came out in the early 1980s can be insignificantly cracked with automated utilities....

Smartphones come in various casing varying from metal to entirely plastic but what if someone offers you a smartphone with a casing entirely made out of grass? A pioneer in recycled products, Design Works has been testing a mobile phone that’s composed of entirely recycled and natural products, with one major ingredient being blades of grass. Designer Sean Miles has managed to create a complete smartphone case out of grass which not only would stand out in the crowd but also look pretty neat....

Developed by Facebook, the “Internet Defense Prize” is a scheme to reward researchers for projects and prototypes that encourage the safety of the Internet. A part of Facebook’s “Internet Defense Prize“, the cash prize is given at the USENIZ Security Symposium in Washington, D.C. Most importantly, the payout has doubled from last year’s inaugural payout of $50,000, which was awarded to German researchers. The won the prize for their work on using static analysis to identify “second-order vulnerabilities” in applications used to compromise users after being stored in web servers before time....

Along with this the robotic ants act intelligently exhibiting the co-operative behavior of the little creature using the complex control algorithms....

The study, which was a collaboration between University of Sussex (UK), Google, RIKEN (Japan), Siegen University (Germany), and Aarhus University (Denmark), is featured in the journal Science Advances. In the past, scientists had proposed using fiber optic connections to link individual computer modules to obtain efficient computing powers. The invention introduces connections created by electric fields that let charged atoms (ions) to be transported from one module to another. Researchers said they have managed to overcome some important obstacles, developing a “new approach (that) would allow 100,000 times faster connection speeds between individual quantum computing modules compared to current state-of-the-art fibre link technology,” said the study, which would be a leap forward toward building a universal quantum computer....
