Flame On: Iranian computers owned.... again

"Flame" looks to be the atomic bomb of all malware. The only thing scarier is the thought of what's out there that hasn't been detected yet.

Dragon Update

The Dragon capsule has docked with the ISS Woot!

SpaceX has come a long way.... literally

I've hoped all along that once one of the SpaceX ventures was this successful we'd see a slew of many more to follow. I hope this is that pivotal moment.

Warbirds popping up like daises

First it was 20 mint Spitfires still in their shipping crates allegedly found last month buried in a Burmese jungle. Now a crashed P-40 Kittyhawk has been found in Egypt, 70 years later. The desert environment has preserved it perfectly over time. Look for this to be restored some day soon.
