The high-capacity system should be ready by October 2017. Microsoft and Facebook today have announced a partnership to build a massive underwater data cable connecting the US to Europe, an effort that'll help the two internet giants better move data back and forth around the world. The cable, dubbed " MAREA," should be ready by October 2017 and will have an insane estimated data capacity of 160Tbps, making it the highest-capacity subsea cable to ever cross the Atlantic. It's not hard to understand why having a better infrastructure for transmitting data is important to both Facebook and Microsoft. Facebook has a whopping 1.6 billion users, and that's not counting traffic from other hugely popular services like Instagram and Whatsapp. For Microsoft's part, its Azure cloud services use a ton of bandwidth, and that's without mentioning its other cloud-based products like Bing, Office, Skype and Xbox Live. The MAREA system isn't ...

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 23 (UPI) --  A man was spotted gliding along the streets of Israel on a homemade "magic carpet" while dressed as Aladdin in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Purim. Motorcyclist Aviad Rosenfeld  shared video of the man  to Facebook as he marveled at the strange sight. "You won't believe me, but I just saw Aladdin pass by on his carpet on Allenby Street," he wrote in Hebrew. The man can be seen dressed in full Aladdin garb, including a purple vest, red fez and slightly tattered white pants. A small device can also be seen in his hand, which appears to be used to control the skateboard-like magic carpet. Dressing up in costumes is a part of the annual celebration of Purim, which began on Wednesday, March 23 and will continue until March 24. According  to Chabad.org , the costumes represent how God's work in the events of Purim were disguised by natural events. Other aspects of the celebration of Purim include handing ...

The average camera drone today is a hawk-sized quadcopter with reels of FAA red tape wrapped around it. The SKEYE Nano is something a little different. This tiny drone weighs less than half an ounce, yet it is equipped with a video camera and full six-axis stabilization. It flies beautifully inside and out, and is small enough to avoid FAA regulations altogether. The Popular Science Shop has this pocket-sized eye in the sky for $49.99 with free shipping. You can launch the SKEYE by throwing it like a paper airplane, allowing the four tiny blades to take over. In flight, the drone is surprisingly agile. There are three levels of control sensitivity to suit pilots of varying abilities, with the most sensitive setting allowing experienced users to thread the drone through tiny gaps. You can also pull flips and rolls, and gyroscopic stabilization provides a steady view for the built-in camera. This offers video and still images, which are saved onto the provided memory card.
