Microsoft is positioning Windows 10 to be able to handle the massive processing required by the Internet of Things. Let's hope that the operating system is up to speed on this.

Semi autonomous trucks are the wave of the future. Does seem a little hard to feel comfortable with these things riding up behind you on a long trip.

It was my understanding that the current GPS is off by 100 feet, so terrorists couldn't use it to target buildings, etc. Wouldn't a centimeter accurate measurment put us all in more danger?
