AI Unboxed: In-Depth Reviews of the Best Tools Shaping the Future

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's the government's idea of a really bad day: Washington's Metro trains shut down. Seaport computers in New York go dark. Bloggers reveal locations of railcars with hazardous materials. Airport control towers are disrupted in Philadelphia and Chicago. Overseas, a mysterious liquid is found on London's subway. And that's just for starters. Those incidents were among dozens of detailed, mock disasters confronting officials rapid-fire in the U.S. government's biggest-ever "Cyber Storm" war game, according to hundreds of pages of heavily censored files obtained by The Associated Press. The Homeland Security Department ran the exercise to test the nation's hacker defenses, with help from the State Department, Pentagon, Justice Department, CIA, National Security Agency and others. The laundry list of fictional catastrophes — which include hundreds of people on "No Fly" lists suddenly arriving at airport ticket counters — is ...

Britney Spears took her new black Benz out for a spin last night when one of the paps gave her a "short cut" to get home. The short cut was through the hills and Brit Brit got scared. She got out of her car and started saying how she was " dizzy " and " scared " from being too close to the edge. She started whining about it and the paps agreed to lead her home. She spoke in that weird British accent the whole time, but it's not really British. It's like Chinese, British and some Chester Cheeto accent. It's basically gibberish. Brit's relationship with the paps is so fucking strange. She's standing there like a little girl and they are saying shit like " ooooh, it's ok Britney...it's ok...don't be scared " while snapping away. It's like they are petting her head and slapping her in the face at the same time. This comes just a few days after her latest meltdown after a fight with her new Boyfriend/handler. S...

BEIJING (AP) -- The "Watercube" swimming venue -- an iconic, futuristic structure for the 2008 Olympics that looks like a building covered in bubble wrap -- was unveiled Monday in Beijing. Beijing Olympic organizing committee president Liu Qi and Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong both dipped their hands into the competition pool and seemed satisfied at the brief unveiling ceremony. Guo even put the pool water to his lips. Known officially as the National Aquatics Center, the Watercube has been dubbed the "cool" building of the Games because of its translucent, blue-toned outer skin that makes it look like a cube of bubbles. Forty-two gold medals will be up for grabs at the venue during the Olympics, which start Aug. 8. American Michael Phelps will be out to break Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals. He just missed the mark in 2004, winning six in Athens. "There are many different buildings in the world, and I believe this could be one of the most significan...

WRIGHTWOOD, California (AP) -- Mountain avalanches killed an off-duty ski patrol worker and left another person missing Friday as California strained under nearly a week of snow and rain. One avalanche struck Friday afternoon at Wrightwood in the snow-laden San Gabriel Mountains. A 23-year-old employee of the Mountain High ski area was pulled from the debris but died at a hospital later that afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said. His name was not released. As night fell, searchers were still looking for another person who was missing after a second avalanche about a half-mile from the first, on national forest land. "I'm sure that the avalanches are due to the amount of snow that has fallen over the past several days," said Tim Wessel, division chief for the San Bernardino County Fire Department. The avalanches were outside Mountain High's boundaries. The resort, which was closed by high winds a day earlier, remained open. An avalanche advisory was issued for t...

DAVOS, Switzerland (CNN) -- Economic woes took a back seat at the World Economic Forum in Davos Friday as the meeting focused on corporate responsibility and business chiefs played down the possibility of a recession. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates set the tone by announcing grants of $306 million to develop farming in poor countries -- a new direction for his charitable foundation. Gates, who is stepping down as Microsoft chair later this year, received a standing ovation for his announcement at the suggestion of U2 frontman Bono. The move will help boost efforts by the annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland to shake off its image as a billionaire's talking shop that does little to solve the problems it discusses. "If we are serious about ending extreme hunger and poverty around the world, we must be serious about transforming agriculture for small farmers, most of whom are women," Gates said. "The challenge here is to design a system including profit and recog...

The role disturbed him, according to The Associated Press. He called The Joker a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy." "Last week, I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told The New York Times. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said prescription sleeping pills didn't help, according to AP These disturbing pics are from the upcoming movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus". It's unfortunate that this has to happen to a talented actor, but there are much bigger problems on the horizon. Did we already forget about the worldwide stock market crash? The global banking fraud has been exposed, and the house of cards is falling. The sub-prime mortgage thing is just the tip of the iceberg. This might be it, this might be the crash that people have predicted for the last 2 years. They can only keep up this illusion for a little while longe...

source CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Judging by hundreds of questions submitted online to al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, it seems the terror network's self-proclaimed supporters are as much in the dark about the its operations and plans as Western analysts and intelligence agencies. Among their concerns: Where will it strike next? Does it control small militant groups in the Mideast and Europe? Why hasn't it hit America again? Al Qaeda's media arm, Al-Sahab, announced last month that Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, would take questions from the public in an "online interview." More than 900 entries, some with multiple questions, were posted on a militant Web site before the January 16 deadline. So far, al Qaeda hasn't given any answers. Al Qaeda said only that al-Zawahiri would respond "as soon as possible," and the questions disappeared from the site after the cutoff date without any response. It is impossible to confirm independently ...

SOURCE HERE BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Carrying explosives in a box of candy, a suicide bomber detonated in a town in Iraq's Anbar province Sunday, killing six people, including a sheikh whom the United States had recently freed, and wounded four others, an Interior Ministry official said. The bomber was targeting Sheikh Aeifan al-Issawi and other members of the Anbar Awakening Council who were celebrating Sheikh Hadi's release from U.S. custody, the official said. Hadi had been in U.S. custody for about five days, al-Issawi said. He said al Qaeda in Iraq had planted a bomb near Hadi's house and made it appear that the sheikh was dealing with insurgents. The bomber handed the box of candies to Hadi, and it exploded, killing him and five others, including two guards, the Interior Ministry official said. Four others were wounded in the attack, which occurred in the Albu Aeifan area, which is about 9.3 miles (15 kilometers) west of Falluja. Al-Issawi , who is a leading membe...

Little video I made called: DESTRUCTION.

Chess master Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest chess players in history, has died, a spokesman for the World Chess Federation confirmed to CNN Friday. He was 64. No cause of death was given. Fischer became the first American world chess champion when he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in a legendary encounter during the Cold War in 1972. Former Russian chess champion Garry Kasparov said Fischer would be remembered as "the pioneer, some would say the founder, of professional chess" and called his death "very sad news." According to media reports in Iceland, Fischer died at a hospital in the capital, Reykjavik. He moved to Iceland after being granted citizenship in 2005. Watch Fischer arrive to cheers in Iceland » Fischer became almost as famous for his personality quirks and his renegade behavior as for his brilliance at chess. He learned to play as a child in Brooklyn, New York, and quickly became a prodigy. He was only 15 when he reached the l...

TMZ claims that Britney Spears may suffer from multiple personality disorder. Sources have told them that the fake British accent is more than just a fake accent.

Britney apparently was the " British girl " when she didn't show up to her deposition and has no recollection of it whatsoever. Brit apparently has other personalities like " the weepy girl, the diva, etc... "
