Stephen Hawking: Visionary physicist dies aged 76 Stephen Hawking, the British physicist whose scientific achievements, decades-long battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease, and best-selling book “A Brief History of Time” helped make him the most celebrated scientist since Albert Einstein, died at his home in Cambridge, England, his family said in a statement early Wednesday. He was 76.                             Dr. Hawking, who was emeritus Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, a chair once held by Sir Isaac Newton, was often called the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein. His most important work — which brought together quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the general theory of relativity — marked a startling extension of Einstein’s greatest discovery, relativity. Dr. Hawking focused his research on what are now known as black holes, dying stars that have collapsed upon themselves, forming centers (“singularities”) of such density and wit

  THE ELECTRICITY  WAR In 2013, plans were underway to build the Tesla Science Center in Shoreham, New York, where the genius inventor Nikola Tesla's laboratory once operated. But there was a problem. The site had fallen into disrepair since Tesla worked there, and it was overrun by thick, tall weeds. That didn't stop Tesla's fans. They brought their own tools, including those machetes, and spent their weekends hacking away the brush. Today Tesla is a geek icon, credited with pioneering alternating current and radio. He inspires tributes around the world (and occasionally long gardening sessions). That geeky cult is part of the reason the new Tesla Center is being built. Matthew Inman, author of a famous comic strip at the Oatmeal about how Tesla is awesome, kicked off a $1.37 million crowdfunding campaign to help build the new museum. But that enthusiasm has come at a cost — slamming Thomas Edison at every opportunity. In the popular imaginatio

What Is a VPN? Using your Android tablet or phone to access the free Wi-Fi at the local coffee shop can be considerably more dangerous than you might imagine. First, you can't tell if the network has been configured incorrectly, allowing others on the network to see your data. Second, it's entirely possible that nefarious parties have simply set up an innocent-looking wireless network to trick naive coffee drinkers. They can be very difficult to tell from the real thing. Those are just some of the reasons you need a VPN. In both of the scenarios above, someone could monitor your network traffic. Everything you send, from emails to passwords, would be open to them. That's a lot of private information you'd probably rather keep private. One example of a classic man-in-the-middle attack is to use a bogus network to intercept victims' web traffic and replace legitimate sites with fake ones. When a victim goes to enter their information (everything from passwor

Continue From Part - 1... Chapter Three: Tamilrockers Admin  It took us seven months to reach out to the admins of the page     which had gained prominence in South India as the foremost        Movie torrents provider. I’d tried reaching out to almost all the self-proclaimed admins associated with the page. Most of the admin details given out within torrent host sites like Mononova, KATto, or Pirate Bay, had been maintained as fake. A few hosts, however, got me through to at least some worthy profiles. One site which majorly helped us in zeroing on admin profiles for Tamil Rockers was 1337xtorrents. In May 2017, we left messages to these found profiles for an interview. Why them? For the apparent reason that, here was a platform which was reportedly doing a business of 210 Crores every year and with an investment of not more than 8 Lakhs. You calculate the Return on Investment now, and tell me why it doesn’t it make for an incredible story. Technic
