Got a Star Trek story? Maybe, like me, you dressed in starship captain uniforms for Halloween and snuck into the family room past your bedtime to watch reruns, no matter how tired you'd be the next day at school. Or maybe you never watched Star Trek, but you still know the difference between Klingons and Romulans. At the very least, you probably know how to separate your fingers into the iconic Vulcan salute and offer up a "Live long and prosper." With the Star Trek franchise tuing 50 on September 8, I asked a dozen cast members from six of Star Trek's TV shows and movies, including Zoe Saldana, Gates McFadden and Jeri Ryan, to share their stories. During the next week, CNET's Star Trek at 50 package will showcase those tales in separate articles focusing on the iconic actors.Enlarge ImageLeonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and William Shatner pose with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and director Robert Wise ahead of the 1979 release of "Star Trek: ,star trek starships,star trek stars,star trek starship classes,star trek starship creator,star trek starship enterprise,star trek starship mine,star trek starship names,star trek starship design,star trek starship tactical combat simulator,star trek starship creator warp 2 ...ادامه مطلب

We've lost R2. Actor Kenny Baker, aka lovable droid R2-D2, in the '70s. Getty Images Kenny Baker, the man who brought the much-loved R2-D2 droid to life in the Star Wars films, passed away at the age of 81 following a long period of illness. Baker's death was reported by The Guardian on Saturday, with his niece Abigail Shield telling the publication that the news was expected but sad. "He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we'll be celebrating the fact that he was loved throughout the world. We're all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime," Shield said. Baker, standing at 3 feet 8 inches tall, first hopped inside the shell of R2-D2 for 1977's "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and went on to play R2 in five other Star Wars films. He also played roles in 1980's "The Elephant Man," 1981's "Time Bandits," 1988's "Willow" and 1999's "The King and I., ...ادامه مطلب

Despite years of batting away cyberattacks, Max Everett is still on high alert.The Republican National Committee's chief information officer has been working 20-hour days, and they seem to be getting longer as the convention's main event -- Donald Trump's acceptance of the party's nomination on Thursday night -- approaches. Hacktivist groups, like Anonymous, have already targeted Trump's campaign. It would be embarrassing if they were to break in just as the event reaches its apex."We know the eyes of the world will be watching," Everett said while en route to the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where the convention is being held.More than 10,000 devices -- iPhones, Android handsets, tablets and laptops -- are expected to tap into the RNC's network. Each one has data that can be stolen, kidnapped or destroyed. Though there's been no significant threat, the RNC cybersecurity team says it's seen suspicious traffic that's been traced to Asia and Russia. "I would not want to be the cybersecurity guy working the RNC," said Steve Weber, a professor at the University of Califoia, Berkeley, specializing in cybersecurity. "The stress would be enormous."In a nondescript network operations center, Vince Crisler, the CEO of security contractor Dark Cubed monitors screens displaying threat assessments. The Washington-based company is no stranger to big assignments. It's managed security and strategy for the White House, the Pentagon and the Secret Service, according to its website. Dark Cubed's assessments are calculated by the company's information-sharing technology, which lets networks swap threat information with each other. The community approach allows members to see how the threats on their networks compare to the threats on others. One display sets the threat level at 6 percent. Still, Crisler isn't letting his guard down. "We act as if the network is being targeted or threatened at any given moment in time," he said. To secure the conventions is an enormous task, sa, ...ادامه مطلب

Microsoft's HoloLens could make leaing about machines like jet engines more interactive. Microsoft Many people spent the weekend getting acquainted with augmented reality, the fusing of the digital and physical world, through the popular new Pokemon Go app that lets users see fictitious creatures hanging out in the real world through a phone screen.But augmented reality, also referred to as mixed reality, can have more practical applications like training. That's exactly what Microsoft was pushing for at its Worldwide Partner Conference on Monday. Presenters at the Toronto event used Microsoft's heavily hyped HoloLens to bring a digital representation of a jet engine on stage to show how Japan Airlines intends to use the technology to train flight crews and mechanics. "We can continue to lea in new ways, not possible in the real world," said Lorraine Bardeen, general manager of Windows and HoloLens experiences production and strategy for Microsoft.Augmented reality, alongside its sibling virtual reality, is one of the hottest trends in technology. Major players such as Microsoft and Google have experimented with both technologies as a potential new way for people to view the digital and real worlds, with potential applications in gaming and entertainment, as well as in the workplace. Microsoft has wowed audiences before with its HoloLens demonstrations. But aside from a developer model that costs $3,000, there hasn't been word on when the average consumer can buy one. For now, interested consumers will have to rely on these demos for a taste of the HoloLens experience. On Monday, that meant taking a giant jet engine and expanding it from tabletop size to actual size for the purposes of leaing about how the engine works, how it might have been recently updated or the hazardous spots where you shouldn't stand.

Walk through the history of England without leaving home. Screenshot by Kent German/CNET If you fancy a walk through Westminster Abbey, but can't afford a ticket to London, then open Google Street View instead. The centuries-old Gothic church that's played host to royal wedding and funerals and the coronation of monarchs was added to Google Street View earlier this month, giving viewers a full tour of the rich interior and the history inside.Starting at the front doors you can walk the length of the Abbey's vast nave while visiting sights like the Coronation Chair, the High Altar and the Grave of the Unknown Warrior. A bonus of a virtual visit is that you're the only tourist in the place and you can skip the £20 entrance fee ($26 or AU$34). If you like, you can even take a stroll down the aisle while humming the Wedding March.The Street View tour also is available on Westminster Abbey's website, which adds pop-up facts about the various sights inside. Other renowned interiors on Google Street View include The White House, the Palace of Versailles and the Canadian Parliamentary buildings in Ottawa. Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Nonprofit Black Girls CODE teaches young girls of color tech skills. Black Girls Code For young girls of color, the distance between first getting interested in computers and eventually landing a job in tech is long and marked with exit ramps.Nonprofit Black Girls CODE and search giant Google are hoping to shorten the distance between that initial spark and an actual job by putting coding students in the same building as Google's New York office. On Wednesday, Black Girls CODE and Google will launch the new space inside Google's building in Manhattan. Google bought the building in Manhattan in 2010. The space, valued around $2.8 million, is a gift from Google. The idea: By sharing the same space as Google, Black Girls CODE will be able to introduce more students to more tech companies, and also attract volunteers and mentors. Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls CODE, said Google has hosted many student workshops in its NY office. This partnership will allow the nonprofit to build a permanent teaching space. It's also another way for Google to invest in a pipeline of future talent. "They're able to influence these girls that Google is a company they might want to come work for once they graduate," Bryant said.Black Girls CODE was founded in 2011 with the goal of training 1 million girls by 2040. The focus also includes making sure those girls have the range of skills they'll need as technology spreads across all aspects of life. But providing tech education to minority children has its own set of challenges. "If you look specifically at students of color, and even more specifically at girls from African American, Latina, and Native American communities, it's important to reach them before they get to high school," Bryant said. Georgia Tech last year found that, across 23 states, fewer than 10 African American students took the Advanced Placement computer science exam. That year, A, ...ادامه مطلب

Just outside Hiroshima, Japan, in the town of Kure, there's an odd sight: a submarine almost as long as a football field, up on stilts. Amid the buildings with no water in sight, the sleek black and red shape couldn't look more out of place. It's the Akishio, a former submarine of the JMSDF, or Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Decommissioned in 2004, it was converted to a museum ship as part of a larger JMSDF Maritime Museum. If that weren't enough for the area, across the street is the Kure Maritime Museum which, among other interesting objects and displays, houses an amazing 1/10th scale replica of the massive Yamotobattleship. It was the largest battleship ever built, and was sunk by American bombers in World War II. Here's a full tour. Tour Japan's JMSDF Akishio submarine and... , ...ادامه مطلب

Open up Google Maps on your phone and, depending on where you are, you'll see some streets, some buildings and a blue dot. That blue dot is you, in "YOU ARE HERE" form. When you move, it moves. The dot is helpful when you're walking around outside, but if you're indoors -- in an airport, a mall, or even a conference venue, like I am today -- you might as well be in no-man's land.Google wants to change that with something called Tango.The initiative, previously called "Project Tango," is Google's ambitious plan to map the indoor world. Google Maps is already wildly popular, with more than 1 billion users. But whereas Maps is a cartographer's dream on steroids, Tango isn't conceed with streets and rivers and national parks. Tango is for everything undeeath rooftops: hallways, offices, ballrooms and -- perhaps more importantly for Google's advertising ambitions -- the stuff inside those rooms, like fuiture or products on shelves. On Thursday, the Chinese device maker Lenovo unveiled the first consumer smartphone infused with Google's Tango technology. The phone, called the Phab 2 Pro, will cost $500, have a 6.4-inch screen and be available by September. (The phone itself is hulking, and Jeff Meredith, the head of Lenovo's mobile business group, said both smaller and bigger screen phones are coming.) But back to the maps -- and that blue dot.When you're indoors, "all it tells you is, 'You're in the airport!' Which is not super helpful," Johnny Lee, head of Tango, said in an interview Thursday at the Masonic, the San Francisco venue where Google and Lenovo unveiled the Tango phone. It doesn't come in handy when you want to tell someone to meet you at Baggage Claim 4."It's about making a better blue dot," he said.Tango can map out a room in 3D. So you could digitally see what kind of fuiture would fit in your house. James Martin/CNET For Google, the stakes are huge: If Tango takes off, th, ...ادامه مطلب
