There are plenty of smart cooking devices to help you bring masterpieces to the table. However, they don’t usually talk to each other — your sous vide tool doesn’t know the weight of the ingredients you measured on a scale just a couple of feet away. SideChef wants to fix that. The cooking app developer is building a platform that lets kitchen gadgets work in unison. Once you pick a recipe, every device would know what to do. Your oven would start pre-heating, for instance, while your mixer would run at just the right speed to blend everything together.
This isn’t just wide-eyed optimism on SideChef’s part, as it’s talking to "several hardware brands" about making this a reality. Just how well it’ll work is up in the air, though — it’ll depend on getting the right partners (such as big appliance companies), building sufficiently open code and otherwise avoiding the pitfalls that come with trying to create standards.

There’s some debate on which program gets the infamous title of “First Computer Virus”. There were a few for MS-DOS machines in the 80s and even one that spread through ARPANET in the 70s. Even John von Neumann theorized that programs might one day self-replicate. To compile all of these early examples of malware, and possibly settle this question once and for all, [Mikko Hypponen] has started collecting many of the early malware programs into a Museum of Malware.

Need proof that the limits of fiber optic technology have been shattered? You just got it. University of Illinois researchers report that they’ve set a record for fiber data transmission, delivering 57Gbps of error-free data. And importantly, they sent the data at room temperature — they didn’t have to cool things down to keep those bits going. Even when things got toasty (185F), the technology could still deliver a brisk 50Gbps.
The scientists currently expect the technology to get the most use in data centers, aircraft and other places where you need to shuffle a ton of information across relatively short hops in unforgiving conditions. The real challenge might be getting it to work across long distances. If that’s practical, the internet could get considerably more headroom and increase the likelihood that your 4K video streams arrive without a hitch.

Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Comcast and LinkedIn have joined forces to create a new email mechanism that makes sure the messages you send are encrypted. In the proposal they’ve submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force, these tech titans called their creation SMTP Strict Transport Security (SMTP STS). See, the underlying technology behind email has remained largely unchanged since it first became available. An encryption system was introduced some time ago — and big email providers like Gmail do use it — but it’s susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
For instance, a hacker could insert a fake digital certificate, and the system would recognize it as authentic. That means you could end up sending email to an unsecured server without you knowing. Further, it could continue sending your message even if it detects that the server isn’t secure.
The new system can prevent either scenario from happening. It checks if the domain you’re sending to supports SMTP STS and makes sure its encryption certificate is authentic and up to date. If everything checks out, it allows your message to go through. But if it detects something suspicious, it will stop the email from sending and will notify you of the reason.
It’s safe to say that the companies involved will incorporate the technology into their services if it gets approved — it’s their engineers’ creation, after all. In that case, the encrypted messages sent out and received by Gmail could go up from 83 to 69 percent, respectively, to a hundred percent.
