I remember when that sort of highly secret information was only available in book form...and was left on your doorstep.

There's an awesome Defcon talk on this called Massscanning the Internet[^].
Basically if you know the port a particular service runs on, you can use a tool called MasScan[^] to scan the entire internet for it in ten minutes (if your internet is fast enough). Then write a script to loop through each result and try and login with default credentials and bam! Security Alert!

As agile practices, Continuous Integration and other new methodologies come into development environments, organizations have come to realize they need to change the way they test software. They only test in sprints until they find three bugs

The only way to stop finding bugs is to stop looking.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

There's no right answer to "What technology should I learn next?" But there is a way to manage your skills to maximize the return you get from them. I don't have a skills portfolio, it's more like a skills junk drawer

According to Nature, scientists are honing in on methods to reassemble scattered light that passes through opaque objects to create a usable image on the other side, Superman-style. Does it involve cardboard glasses?

This must be some new definition of "opaque" that I wasn't previously aware of.

I tell you that with less than 40 keV of X-Ray you'd hardly pass through an olive, only to see a gray stain on the other side.
No supaman style X-Ray vision I guess... since there's no way it could work anyway, with the generator and the detector on the same side you discard at least 90% of the radiation, and the remaining 10% must travel twice the distance between generator and object further reducing the power of the x-rays received by a factor of 4.

That does not matter.
What matters is that someone thinks it is innovative, sexy and worth the investment. There's more money on the planet than common sense.

I TOTALLY agree with you.
Also, the path of research is a twisted one - you may end up discovering (or creating) something of the uttermost importance in the task of searching for something completely different.
In this case for example the research could lead to better or cheaper X-ray scintillators, which is something needed in the XR detection industry.

In a post titled, The Road to Windows 10 found on Microsoft's JobsBlog, software engineers, program managers, engineering leads, media teams and a myriad of other vital Windows 10 contributors have their daily routines documented. It's cleaned up: they removed the flaming ninjas

Google Inc. has given fellow tech companies an ultimatum: patch your software vulnerabilities within 90 days or we’ll make them public. "People who live in glass houses..." (should be careful when using the washroom)

It is time for Apple and Microsoft to get together and knock Google down to size.
They can start by blocking Google services on their hardware and software.
Just. Shut. Them. Down.

I thought Google was already doing this.
And Google never has security vulnerabilities in their code[^], do they?
