NASA is being forced by the US government to fly a mission to Europa the most likely place well find alien life in the Solar System
2014-03-07 19:49:13| Extremetech
In a rather intriguing twist, it appears that NASA is now mandated by law to fly a robotic mission to Jupiter's watery moon Europa. Europa is an incredibly exciting science target, as it's believed to have a 100-kilometer-thick (62 miles) outer layer of water, with water ice on top (it's very cold out there) and a liquid water ocean beneath that. As we continue to learn more about the tenacious lifeforms found in deep, cold waters here on Earth, excitement grows over the possibility of Europa's oceans harboring extraterrestrial life.
Mozilla embarks on noble mission to speed up the web by bringing JPEG into the 21st century
2014-03-06 15:36:14| Extremetech
As you probably know, images -- in particular JPEGs -- make up the vast majority of a web page's overall size. The other elements -- text, stylesheets, scripts -- usually account for just a few percent of the total page size. If the file size of images could be reduced by just a few percent, huge speed gains and bandwidth savings could be realized -- for home and office surfers, but more importantly for people on woefully constrained and metered mobile data connections. Mozilla's latest effort, mozjpeg, aims to do that just, by reducing the size of JPEGs by 10% or more.
