Last week the Navy took its best shot and it was a doozy. The shot, fired on December 10th, broke the world record for the most powerful shot, as the 23-pound aluminum projectile rocketed out of the Navy's electromagnetic railgun at a reported speed of Mach 7, or seven times the speed of sound.

When Chip Yates set out to build an electric motorcycle, he insisted that it keep up with the 600-cc machines he races in the AMA. It was almost laughably ambitious, given that the fastest bikes in the electric-motorcycle racing scene currently lap tracks about 20 seconds short of that mark.

Cloud Computing was the most beseeched IT trend amongst CIOs in Latin America in 2010. As with several other industry-transforming technologies, adoption of Cloud Computing is a bottom-up phenomenon, driven into the enterprise sector by consumer behavior and economics.

1) Make sure you have a firewall installed.  Many are free and Microsoft includes a free firewall with their newer operating systems

2) Use network monitoring software to see what is going in/out of your network.  Again there are many free options out there

3) Have fun! Try to crack your wireless password to see if someone sitting outside of your home can do the same.
