The already suspicious breach of Secret Service security just got even more fishy.
The already suspicious account of a Chinese national who allegedly carried four cellphones, a thumb drive containing malware, and other electronics as she breached security at President Trump's private Florida club just grew even more fishy.

The article didn't mention anything about the president being there, does that mean the Secret Service is now just full time security at Mar-a-Lago? wtf...

Sony creates colossal 16K screen in Japan
The biggest 16K screen of its kind will shortly go on show in Japan.
Sony's display contains 16 times as many pixels as a 4K television and 64 times as many as a regular 1080p high definition TV, meaning it can show images in far more detail than normal.
This will let viewers stand close to the unit - which is longer than a bus - without its image looking blurred.
One expert said it would likely take decades for 16K tech to filter down to consumer products. -
Climate change: European team to drill for 'oldest ice' in Antarctica
An ambitious project to retrieve a continuous record of Earth's atmosphere and climate stretching back 1.5 million years is officially "go".
A European consortium will head to Antarctica in December to begin the process of drilling deep into the continent's eastern ice sheet.
The group's aim is to pull up a frozen core of material almost 3km long.
Scientists hope this can lead them to an explanation for why Earth's ice ages flipped in frequency in the deep past. -
