"Second, the government can't get at your fingerprint. That's partly because the iPhone stores all fingerprint data on its secure chip ..."

Looks like more of a shark-barricade than a pool though.

Every key on those old typewriters also makes its own unique sound. Back in the 80s, the NSA already had systems in place to decode sound recordings of Soviet typing.

They're lured in because when you spin an unloaded alternator it has very little physical resistance.

Magnetic fields in and of themselves are not a source of energy.

What they don't show in that video is the stream of compressed air providing the energy to spin the wheel.

Only if it were to be useful.

It's really a perceptual thing, the "overbalanced" wheels are actually balanced, the same as a bicycle wheel. They just have bits moving around to give the impression that one side should have more pull from gravity than the other. In every case where a weight has to move closer or further from the axis of rotation,…

Definitely an impressive machine (a complex pendulum), but its performance seems to become exaggerated the further the article is from the source - many articles about it are 3 or 4 times removed (i.e. the writer read about it in another article). One that I ran across that gave me the impression that the author had…

Because - SCARY GUNS!

Yes, they were. The FBI has quite a sizable "air force" under its Surveillance and Aviation Section.

"Using kinetic energy generated by the trains themselves..."

That's exactly right.

I guess inuendo and gizmodo almost rhyme.

"But the fact that all of that information is sitting there, existing as parseable data that might even be read over, doesn't change what music I listen to or save to my phone"

That's a common problem for a lot of people, because they want to feel good about themselves, like they voted for the winning candidate.

"our government has checks and balances"

It's sonic technology.

Clearly Tarantola made a simple mistake. They were not F-16s.

I believe you have missed his point. F-16s (which happened to carry Sidewinders on their wingtips) appeared about 30 years after WW2 ended.
