Just a quick though – consider adding a full list of referral links on donate/contact page (with maybe a list of shows/codes to support)… For those that don’t listen/watch a particular show but still would like to support JB.

David Writes:

I’m thinking it would be courteous if there were a check-box item on your contact form to copy submissions to JB back to the poster.

Seems, fair, no? You’ve got our e-mail addy.

Robyn Writes:

So, I stumbled on your show about 4 days ago and I haven’t been able to stop listening. It just so happens I’m in transition and looking to find a job that I can do out of my home. I have no idea if I could be good at this but I’m interested to find out. I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers on how to get started.

And by the way, your show ROCKS! Love hearing the guest speakers and all of you are very inspirational.

Thanks,

Single Verizon IP Address Used For Hundreds of Windows 7 Activations

A presumed pirate with an unusually large appetite for activating Windows 7 has incurred the wrath of Microsoft. In a lawsuit filed in a Washington court, Microsoft said that it logged hundreds of suspicious product activations from a single Verizon IP address and is now seeking damages. Who he, she or they are behind address 74.111.202.30 is unknown at this point, but according to Microsoft they’re responsible for some serious Windows pirating. “As part of its cyberforensic methods, Microsoft analyzes product key activation data voluntarily provided by users when they activate Microsoft software, including the IP address from which a given product key is activated,” the lawsuit reads. The company says that its forensic tools allow the company to analyze billions of activations of software and identify patterns “that make it more likely than not” that an IP address associated with activations is one through which pirated software is being activated.

GOG’s Take On Steam Goes Live Today

GOG Galaxy, which you can download here, is now in open beta. Like Steam, Origin, and other PC gaming clients, it’s a stand-alone program with its own achievements, friend lists, and massively restrictive DRM. Just kidding. Anyone who follows the people behind GOG—a subsidiary of _Witcher 3 _developer CD Projekt Red—knows they’re as anti-DRM as it gets.

CoreOS Gives Up Control of Non-Docker Linux Container Standard | Data Center Knowledge

Taking a major step forward in its quest to drive a Linux container standard that’s not created and controlled by Docker or any other company, CoreOS spun off management of its App Container project into a stand-alone foundation. Google, VMware, Red Hat, and Apcera have announced support for the standard.

Becoming a more formalized open source project, the App Container (appc) community now has a governance policy and has added a trio of top software engineers that work on infrastructure at Google, Twitter, and Red Hat as “community maintainers.

Apple pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of Beats relaunch

The Verge has learned that Apple has been pushing major music labels to force streaming services like Spotify to abandon their free tiers, which will dramatically reduce the competition for Apple’s upcoming offering. DOJ officials have already interviewed high-ranking music industry executives about Apple’s business habits, but it appears the FTC has taken the lead in recent weeks.

Snoosaphone Writes:

Hello JB,

Just wanted to send a message to everyone at Jupiter Broadcasting to let you know how wonderful I’ve found all of the shows. I got hooked on LAS and soon got sucked into listening/watching every single show (sometimes at work). It would be quite amazing to work with a group such as yours though I’m not entirely sure if that could happen due to my home residing in Minnesota.

Which brings me to the second part. If there is a way to help out with anything from a distance let me know! Not sure what the needs are for JB, but I thought it would be nice to at least offer and see where it goes.

On to the final and quite a bit more serious point to this email. After watching Tech Talk Today Ep. 137, I’ve been thinking about whether or not it would be good to share my thoughts on the health reboot for Chris. Finally the barriers have broken down and here it is: There is one primarily glaring issue for all of the problems he/you are having, which is stress (or rather the handling of). Over many years I had dealt with many of the same issues, and in some ways still do. The number one thing that helped me was taking a step back. Putting distance between oneself and the sources of stress. Now of course that is highly easy to say and very difficult to implement, but it’s necessary to look at all of the angles in order to solve a problem. The number one solution I found for my stress management came down to taking a 10 minute “meditation” a couple times a week. The fixes are sometimes small and easy, so just keep looking if you haven’t found yours yet.

Of course, I’m a random person on the internet and such advice should be taken skeptically, but a it seemed like a good perspective to share.

Best regards,
Snoosaphone

WSJ: Google’s Carrier Experiment Could Launch This Month

In fact, sources told the WSJ that it would only work with the latest Nexus 6 phone.

The service will switch between Wi-Fi, Sprint and T-Mobile. A pretty tough piece of networking when you consider that Sprint is a CDMA network and T-Mobile is a GSM network. Because of all the network hopping, Google needs to tweak the hardware and software of devices that use its network. This is why the Nexus 6 will be the device of choice, Google can’t get in to tweak the settings of phones from other manufacturers.

Google’s carrier ambitions are more of an experiment into what can be accomplished than a full-on assault on carriers. So don’t expect to start seeing Google running ads with unlimited data, text and voice offers anytime soon.

Self-Driving Cars Will Be In 30 US Cities By the End of Next Year – Slashdot

Automated vehicle pilot projects will roll out in the U.K. and in six to 10 U.S. cities this year, with the first unveiling projected to be in Tampa Bay, Florida as soon as late spring. The following year, trial programs will launch in 12 to 20 more U.S. locations, which means driverless cars will be on roads in up to 30 U.S. cities by the end of 2016. The trials will be run by Comet LLC, a consulting firm focused on automated vehicle commercialization. … they’re focusing on semi-controlled areas and that the driverless vehicles will serve a number of different purposes—both public and private. The vehicles themselves—which are all developed by Veeo Systems—will even vary from two-seaters to full-size buses that can transport 70 people. At some locations, the vehicles will drive on their own paths, occasionally crossing vehicle and pedestrian traffic, while at others, the vehicles will be completely integrated with existing cars.

Sleep and Fear

• A fear memory was reduced in people by exposing them to the memory over and over again while they slept
• The Study
• Scientists have shown that sleep is very important for strengthening new memories
• Previous projects have shown that spatial learning and motor sequence learning can be enhanced during sleep
• If the results of this new study continue to show promising results it will be the first time that emotional memory have been manipulated in humans during sleep
• What it Could Mean
• It offers the potential of a new way to enhance typical daytime treatments of phobias, through exposure therapy by adding a nighttime component
• If it can be extended to pre-existing fear, the bigger picture is that, perhaps, the treatment of phobias can be enhanced during sleep.\”
• The Test
• 15 healthy human subjects received mild electric shocks while seeing two different faces
• Subjects also received different odorants to smell with each face such as woody, clove, new sneaker, lemon or mint
• This caused the brain to associate the faces and corresponding smells with fear
• During the slow wave sleep state, when memory consolidation is thought to occur, a smell was represented without the corresponding face and shock
• When a given smell was reintroduced during sleep, it was activating the memory of that face over and over again
• The Results
• When the subjects woke up they saw the face linked to the smell they had been exposed to during sleep
• Their fear reactions were lower than their fear reactions to the other face
• Fear was measured in two ways, through small amounts of sweat in the skin, similar to a lie detector test and through neuroimaging with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging).
• The fMRI results showed changes in regions associated with memory and changes in patterns of brain activity in regions associated with emotion
• These brain changes reflected a decrease in reactivity that was specific to the targeted face image associated with the odorant presented during sleep

Lunar Formation and Age

• New research suggests that the moon is younger than scientists had previously believed
• Current Leading Lunar Formation Theory
• Suggest that the Moon was created when a mysterious planet, one the size of Mars or larger, slammed into the Earth about 4.56 billion years ago, just after the solar system came together
• New analyses of lunar rocks suggest that the moon, is actually between 4.4 billion and 4.45 billion years old
  +This analysis would mean the moon would 100 million years younger than previously thought and would reshape scientists\’ understanding of the early Earth
• Opens New Questions
• Giving the Earth another 100 million years of development before a giant impact could have provided enough time for a primordial atmosphere to develop
• If that did have time to occur, could an impact have been able to \’blown off\’ that atmosphere
• Age of Smaller Solar System Bodies
• Scientists are very sure that the solar system\’s age is 4.568 billion years
• They can pin down the formation times of relatively small bodies such as asteroids precisely
• By noting when these objects underwent extensive melting, from the heat generated by the collision and fusion of these objects\’ building-block \”planetesimals.\”
• Analysis of meteorites that came from the asteroid Vesta and eventually rained down on Earth reveals that the 330-mile-wide (530 kilometers) space rock is 4.565 billion years old
• Vesta cooled relatively quickly and is too small to have retained enough internal heat to drive further melting or volcanism
• Age of Larger Solar System Bodies
• The age of larger solar-system bodies is harder to narrow down
• Earth likely took longer to grow to full size compared to a small asteroid like Vesta
• Every step in its growth tends to erase, or at least cloud, earlier events
• Lunar formation Impact Event
• Currently the \’lunar formation impact event\’ puts the age of the Moon at around 4.56 billion years ago
• As scientists refine techniques and technology improves, estimates are pushing the moon\’s formation date farther forward in time
• The moon is thought to have harbored a global ocean of molten rock shortly after its formation
• Currently, the most precisely determined age for the lunar rocks that arose from that ocean is 4.360 billion years
• Here on Earth, scientists have found signs in several locations of a major melting event that occurred around 4.45 billion years ago
• Evidence is building that the catastrophic collision that formed the moon and reshaped Earth occurred around that time, rather than 100 million years or so before

Infant Blood Sugar

• Newborns with low blood sugar sometimes have to go to the intensive care unit for intravenous infusions of glucose
• A new study has found that rubbing a sweet gel onto the insides of babies’ cheeks can also help with low blood sugar
• Neonatal Hypoglycemia
• Low blood sugar in newborns, or neonatal hypoglycemia, occurs when the tiny body needs more glucose to meet energy needs than is available in the bloodstream
• Prolonged hypoglycemia risks neurological injury.
• Prevalence
• Low blood glucose shows up in 5 to 15 percent of otherwise healthy newborns as measured by blood tests
• Of note, doctors typically don’t run the analysis on every newborn
• Doctors often only call for blood sugar blood tests if they see symptoms, such as poor color, seizures, irritability, lethargy, jittery behavior and a lack of interest in feeding
• Although many infants with low blood glucose don’t have such symptoms
• One report designates at-risk infants as those who are born preterm, have diabetic mothers, or are either large or small for their gestational age
• The Study
• In the new study, researchers identified 237 apparently healthy newborns who had one of those risk factors or who were feeding poorly
• Half of the babies were randomly assigned to get a gel made of dextrose, a form of glucose, rubbed on the inner cheeks up to six times over 48 hours; the rest received a placebo gel
• Results in the Following Week
• Placebo gel group | 30 babies, 25%, were placed in intensive care for hypoglycemia
• Dextrose gel group | 16 babies, 13%, were placed in intensive care for hypoglycemia
• Previous Usage
• Dextrose had been tried in the 1990s as an oral rub for infants but wasn’t fully tested or put into widespread use

New Horizons Message Initiative

• SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) have created a petition called the New Horizons Message Initiative
• This petition is asking NASA officials to upload a yet-to-be-determined crowdsourced message from humanity onto the New Horizons craft after its encounter with the Pluto system
• \”This website is an opportunity for anyone who is interested to sign a petition that asks NASA to approve the future use of the spacecraft\”
• Were There Plans About This from NASA?
• Before New Horizons launched, NASA officials discussed including an onboard message, but decided against it due to a small team on a tight budget
• The team didn\’t want to get distracted from the project
• New Horizons Message Initiative
• The group would need formal permission from the agency and sub-support to make this happen
• NASA funds will not be used for the project, but initiative officials are asking for support from private individuals.
• The idea is to use some of the spacecraft\’s memory to store messages from earthlings beamed up to the probe, when New Horizons completes its mission
• They say that it might be possible to reprogram about 100 megabytes of its memory and upload a new sights and sounds of Earth

Lightsaber Tech?!?!?!

• Viewer Feedback : Check This Out
• Nikki, Summer SciByte co-host, current STOked radio co-host
• What’s Going On?
• Researchers have found a way to bind photons together much like molecules
• This discovery goes against what scientists previously understood of photons: that elementary light particles are massless loners that do not interact with each other.
• Most of the properties of light we know about originate from the fact that photons are massless, and that they do not interact with each other
• The Test
• Researchers fired a couple of photons into a cloud of rubidium – a chemical element belonging to the metal group – in a vacuum chamber cooled to just a few degrees above absolute zero.
• When the photons exited the other side of the cloud of atoms the researchers were surprised to see the pair emerge as a single molecule.
• The cloud they passed through is a special type of medium in which photons interact with each other strongly that they begin to act as though they have mass, and they bind together to form molecules
• Rydberg Blockade
• Rydberg blockade states that when an atom has energy imparted to it, nearby atoms cannot be excited to the same degree
• The pair of photons moved through the cloud of atoms, the first photon excited atoms, but had to move forward before the second photon could do the same.
• The pair of photons pushed and pulled each other through the cloud like atomic interaction, which made these two photons behave like a molecule
• The Future
• The team is hoping to use their newly discovered state of matter in the advancement of quantum computing
• Further Reading / In the News
• Researchers at Harvard University and MIT discover previously unobserved state of matter by binding photons together into molecules, creating real-life \’lightsaber\’ | CTVNews

— CURIOSITY UPDATE —

• Water in the Soil
• The Curiosity rover team has now revealed that the first scoop of soil analyzed by the rover showed several percent water by weight
• The data showed about 2% of the soil on the surface of Mars is made of up water
• The sample also released significant carbon dioxide, oxygen, and sulfur compounds when heated
• Organics would not likely preserved in surface soils, which are exposed to harsh radiation and oxidants
• The team says that the layer of surface soil that has been mixed and distributed by frequent dust storms, so that a scoop of this stuff is basically a microscopic Mars rock collection
• Another Ancient River
• Curiosity has discovered a new patch of pebbles formed and rounded eons ago by flowing liquid water
• The new finding at a sandstone outcrop called ‘Darwin’ during a brief science stopover spot called ‘Waypoint 1’.
• This discovery is important because it significantly broadens the area here that was altered by flowing liquid water
• The other location that showed ancient fluid flow was at Yellowknife Bay where the mission spent it\’s first six months exploring
• Because the veins are different, we know that they were made at different times in history
• Further analysis of any other locations like this will help scientists to get a better idea of when and where the water flowed in this location

SCIENCE CALENDAR

Looking back

• Oct 04, 1958 : 55 years ago : Sputnik : The Space Age began as the Soviet Union, to the dismay of the United States, launched Sputnik, the first manmade satellite, into orbit around the earth. The craft circled the earth every 95 minutes at almost 20,000 miles per hour 500 miles above the Earth. The Sputnik (meaning \”companion\” or \”fellow traveller\”) was launched from Kazakhstan. It stayed in orbit for about three months. Sputnik fell from the sky on 4 Jan 1958. The 184-lb satellite had transmitted a radio signal picked up around the world, and instrumentation for temperature measurement
