White House Hole: Tell Us What You Think It Is
Just off the North Lawn of the White House, directly in front of the entrance to the West Wing and across from the Old Executive Office Building, sits a large hole. The area has been under construction for more than a year, and while the noise of jackhammers has given White House staffers headaches and caused television reporters to scream into microphones, the inconvenience has become a source of intrigue. While the General Services Administration, the organization that’s been supervising the work, says the construction is to upgrade...

They predict a riot: U.S. intelligence agency to 'foresee the news' before it happens using Twitter
Some hedge funds already use Twitter and other social networks to 'predict' fluctuations in the stock market. Now a U.S. government agency is to use the social network to attempt to predict revolutions. Iarpa - the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity - hopes to be able to predict 'unexpected' events such as revolutions using a wide range of data. Iarpa is to spend three years analysing data taken from 'open' sources such as Wikipedia edits, Twitter posts and even publicly available data from traffic systems and webcams. The data will be...

'Living computers' could become reality as scientists build tiny components out of bacteria cells
Scientists are one step closer to making a biological computer after building basic components for digital devices out of bacteria and DNA. Some scientists believe that, in the future, small biological computers could roam our bodies monitoring our health and correcting any problems they find. Researchers from Imperial College London have demonstrated they can build the 'logic gates' which are the building blocks of today's microprocessors out of harmless bugs and chemicals. The biological logic gates described in Nature Communications are the...

White House accused of Barack Obama 'green screen' trickery
Experts in video effects said Mr Obama's talk on boosting employment had actually been recorded in front of a neutral "green screen" and the factory background filled in later. They said the edges around the president's head and shoulders were too sharp. "The shot is obviously a composite and a 'weatherman quality' one," one professional in the field told BigGovernment website. "President Obama doesn't blend into the scene at all." The White House denied the accusations. The claim followed a recent case where Michelle...

Eurozone crisis could cause collapse of global banking system, warns Citigroup's Willem Buiter
"If things get out of hand in the euro area, no bank in the financial integrated world will stand," he told a parliamentary committee. Mr Buiter, a former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, said the recapitalisation of banks and other systemically important institutions should be a priority in the region. "If they don't, we are setting ourselves up for a financial crisis following the sovereign crisis," he said, giving evidence at a session of the House of Lords EU Economic and Financial Affairs Sub-Committee on the eurozone...

Moody's downgrades Spain by two notches
Moody's cut Spain's rating by two notches from A1 from Aa2, with a negative outlook, just days after a similar move from Standard & Poor's. Describing a now familiar malaise of slow growth and crushing private and public debt, Moody's in effect issued a vote of no confidence in Spain and the European Union's handling of the crisis so far. "Since placing the ratings under review in late July 2011...

Steve Lopez: Disneyland workers answer to 'electronic whip'
In the basements of the Disneyland and Paradise Pier hotels in Anaheim, big flat-screen monitors hang from the walls in rooms where uniformed crews do laundry. The monitors are like scoreboards, with employees' work speeds compared to one another. Workers are listed by name, so their colleagues can see who is quickest at loading pillow cases, sheets and other items into a laundry machine. It should come as no surprise...
