Google Fiber: Ultra High Speed Broadband coming to Kansas City, KS

Posted by

As part of our overall goal to make the web better for users, last year we announced a new project: to provide a community with Internet access more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have today. After a careful review, we’re very happy to announce that we will build our ultra high-speed network in Kansas City, Kansas. We’ve signed a development agreement with the city, and we’ll be working closely with local organizations, businesses and universities to bring a next-generation web experience to the community.

Thank you to every community and individual that submitted a response, joined a rally, starred in a YouTube video or otherwise participated.

Recently Amazon announced a brand new cloud service for storing files of all types as well as a dedicated online music player. Amazon Cloud Drive is similar to Dropbox as it gives you 5GB of storage for any type of file online that can be accessed by a desktop web browser and can be expanded up to 1TB of cloud storage.

Amazon Cloud Player works from your Cloud Drive, allowing you to play your music uploaded from iTunes, Windows Media Player or from your computer on any desktop web browser or on an Android phone with the Amazon MP3 app. The 5GB of storage shared with Cloud Drive can be expanded to 20GB with the purchase of an MP3 album on Amazon. You can upload MP3 and AAC audio files and play them from anywhere with full bitrate making this a great tool for both storing and listening to your music from anywhere.

In this video I give a full tutorial on how to jailbreak on iOS 4.3.1 using sn0wbreeze 2.4 (2.4b1) made by ih8sn0w on an iPhone 3GS (new and old bootrom), iPhone 4, iPod touch 3G (16GB and 32GB models only), iPod touch 4G and the original iPad 1. The iPad 2 is not currently supported. sn0wbreeze 2.4 is a tethered jailbreak which means that it requires you to rerun iBooty every time you restart your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

I also show how to put your device in a pwned DFU mode state using DFU Pwner [greenpois0n] so the iREB can prepare your device for the sn0wbreeze jailbreak and then restore the custom IPSW on your iDevice.

Backyard stargazers get a monthly guide to the northern hemisphere’s skywatching events with “Tonight’s Sky.” In April, Saturn reaches its closest point to Earth, the Big Dipper overflows with cosmic sights, and the Lyrid meteor shower streaks the sky. “Tonight’s Sky” is produced by HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes — and other astronomy videos — at HubbleSite.org.

Behind the Webb: Uncovering MIRI’s Detectors (Episode 1)

Posted by

The digital camera in your home shares a family tree with the James Webb Space Telescope. Webb’s instruments use “detectors,” similar to the sensors in digital cameras, to convert images into a digital signal. At the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, the detectors are undergoing temperature and vibration testing.
