Today in technology: Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos puts millions of dollars passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa behind a Canadian company developing nuclear fusion power, passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa Sony Corp. is reportedly at risk of yet another cyber attack and the Wall Street Journal launches a whistle blowing website to rival WikiLeaks.
The 47-year-old Amazon.com chief executive and former passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa Time Magazine Person of the Year has  invested US$19.5-million in Burnaby, B.C.-based General Fusion Inc. to fund further research. Unlike the nuclear fission process of splitting an atom that occurs in the thousands of nuclear power plants around the world, the technology being developed by General passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa Fusion and others will (as the name suggests) passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa fuse two atoms together, resulting in exponentially more power generated with zero radioactive waste.
passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa Creating fusion has been possible in a laboratory setting for decades. But for years, fusion research as an energy source has been stymied by one major hurdle: It often takes more electricity to fuse atoms together than is generated by the actual fusion process.
But according to Popular Science magazine, the specific passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa type of fusion being developed in the Burnaby office park is the closest the world has come so far to a commercially viable fusion power plant. More than that, General Fusion s proof of concept device, built in 2008, is what the highly regarded publication seems to genuinely believe has the power to save the world.
As punishment for what has been generally viewed as a poor response to a massive security breach , a group of hackers is planning to breach the security of Sony yet again simply to teach the Japanese electronics giant a lesson, CNET reported late Thursday evening. Sony chief executive Howard Stringer has apologized to the more than 100 million combined passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa users of the company s PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment services who had their accounts compromised in recent weeks, and the company has hired outside experts to beef up its security. Yet it would appear those efforts have clearly not been enough to satisfy some frustrated gamers.
Whether or not WikiLeaks should be considered a journalistic institution is still a matter of debate, however, it seems several mainstream news outlets are hoping to replicate the success of the organization, and  are rumoured to be preparing copycat versions of the infamous whistle blowing website. The latest is the Wall Street Journal, which launched a website called SafeHouse on Thursday. Calling it a system for providing passenger van car rentals philadelphia pa newsworthy contracts, correspondence, emails, financial records or databases to the News Corp.-owned U.S. newspaper, the site has already been criticized for having some major leaks of its own.
