Last Friday I finally decided to replace my home access router, a Cisco 877W which had served me well for the last 12 years. Its venerable Alcatel ADSL chipset had, after a few thunderstorms, finally started to degrade to a point that the connection was breaking up a couple of times a day. Like all […]

Softbank, the Japanese telecom/everything provider with its 30 year business plan and 300 year strategy, recently acquired ARM Holdings with a record sum of 24 billion pounds.

Intelligence gathering and services have existed since the earliest civilizations. Until now, however, those have been relatively expensive, requiring a lot of manpower and structures. Todays’s Internet, in turn, provides a very affordable, virtually free data warehouse for intelligence operatives. Recently revealed PRISM and XKeyScore probably carry a combined price tag with a smaller number than a single […]
Some time ago I wrote about my first computer-radio-controlled car, which I constructed in 1984 around my Commodore 64 and a 4-way relay controller. At that time I had to design everything myself, ranging from radio delays to wheel sensor clap adjustments. I still vividly remember the feeling when the car was able to navigate […]
