Hiding identity in the network

Almost every day somebody would want to hide the identity because this person has been done something embarrassing on the  Internet. And somebody would make the thing, that they use those embarrassing web services only from the public places, and use the Google or Microsoft account, what they will not open in the home or workplace. Those persons would think, that nobody knows, who they are.


But those places, where the person uses the Internet, would be targeted by surveillance cameras, and then that allows that security team can look those people straight away when they notice the use of the Internet. They must just point those cameras in that area, where the user is using network services. And if there is only one laptop user at the screen, the identity of that user is very easy to find out the identity of that person.


This idea is wrong, the persons, who survey the Internet, would profile those persons by using the Data profiling, and if the account is used only in the public networks, that person might have something to hide. In the real situation, the surveillance team just sends the little cookie with some downloadable package, and this cookie would install the small program in that computer. That program would tell that some computer uses the Net when this computer would be connected to the Internet next time. And if that happens in the home, would the connection tell, who uses this computer, because the flat or house can be tracked by using normal tracking protocol.


 But the case would be more complicated if the hotspot will be installed to some flat without telling that thing to the person, who lives in that apartment, and this WLAN-station can be hidden behind some furniture or inside some walls. The hackers can use that hotspot for dirty things. The data security is the race between hackers and security. In some cases could the security team get the information about the computers serial numbers, and they can track the owner of that computer by using payment- or guaranteed data, what tells, who have bought this computer and guarantee services for it.


So this means that there is no change to hide the identity in the world of the Internet. In some cases, the antivirus software, what is loaded from the wrong net site would contain the feature, that it would remove all viruses, but those Trojan horses will send every single package of that data to the hackers, who might work in private corporations or under the government surveillance.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that...

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-...

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m...
