Car buyers and bureaucrats are demanding better fuel economy, so automakers are hellbent on squeezing every last MPG from a tank of gas. The byproduct of this is more fuel-sipping powertrains, but there's an unintended consequence: more unwanted noise in the cabin.
Best Buy is fighting back in a big way this holiday season against "showrooming," the practice of checking out a product at an offline store and then buying it for less on the internet.

The U.S. has total dominance of the skies above planet Earth, a defense budget five times as large as its nearest competitor, and a fleet of robotic aircraft and advanced manned planes. The newest leader of the Pentagon's blue-sky researchers says the U.S. is more vulnerable than it thinks in the skies. Maintaining America's air supremacy may be about to become a top priority for the agency that helped give the world the Predator drone.

Psychologists have long known that people act differently in a crowd: You?re more likely to be socially withdrawn, and less likely to perform well on complex tasks. But the behavior-altering effects of crowded conditions aren?t limited to people, or even to social animals ? biochemical reactions are also drastically different in tight spaces, a physical and chemical reality that has significant consequences.
A team of astrophysicists has estimated that an exoplanet twice the size of Earth is largely made up of diamond. The planet, 55 Cancri e, is located around 40 light years from Earth and has a mass eight times that of our planet.

Last night I saw a fascinating documentary aired on Channel 4 in the UK, one that aired last weekend in the US.

Ah, the simple pleasures of fall: apple pies, hayrides, and corn mazes. But that maze at the local farm is actually a complex system that starts with GPS coordinates and CorelDRAW design software and, ideally, ends with customers who are just the right mix of frustrated and entertained.

Linus Torvalds -- creator of the Linux open source operating system -- is a man of strong opinions. Last March, he called the makers of SUSE Linux "morons" because of the way they handle security on the OS.

And now, the man has aimed his venom at the hard drive.
