Burger King sold to buy-out firm for $3.26bn (£2.1bn) 认领文章 
Burger King is being sold to private equity firm 3G Capital in a deal valued at $3.26bn (£2.1bn), it has been announced. The fast food chain, with 12,100 outlets worldwide, had been the subject of takeover rumours for days. Burger King floated on Wall Street in 2006, four years after being bought by a group of private equity firms. The group - TPG Capital, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs Funds - still own 31% of Burger King shares. The deal, worth $24 a share, comes after Burger King's sto(阅读全文)

Why are South China Sea tensions rising? 认领文章 
Imagine an exchange of fire between Chinese and Vietnamese navies in the South China Sea. Or just an accidental bump between Chinese and American warships, as high-stakes manoeuvring gets out of hand. Or the arrest by China's navy of hundreds, not just dozens, of Vietnamese fishermen in disputed waters, sparking US voices to support Hanoi against Beijing - or the other way around. Fanciful scenarios? Certainly. But the impact of a conflict over a storm-tossed and otherwise unremarkable st(阅读全文)

NYC sky-scrapers dim lights to help migratory birds
A growing number of New York sky-scrapers are switching off their lights to help reduce the number of birds hitting the high-rise buildings. The "lights out" project - organised by NYC Audubon - runs until 1 November, when migratory birds are expected to have completed their autumn migrations. The Empire State and Chrysler buildings are among those dimming their lights. An estimated 90,000 birds each year are killed in the city as a result of striking glass-fronted buildings. Organisers of(阅读全文)

Wonder conductors will spin up cooler computers 认领文章 
AS I write this, an uncomfortable warmth is starting to overcome me. But this is no mystery fever to send me running to the medicine cupboard. The source is all too obvious: the laptop cradled in my lap. Time to fetch not a cold compress, but a pillow to place beneath my computer. Today's microelectronic devices pump out a lot of heat. If only they wouldn't, processors would be zippier, (阅读全文)

Similar sea creatures hint at trans-arctic seaway 认领文章 
The discovery of nearly identical sea creatures on either side of a now solid Antarctic ice sheet -- 1,500 miles wide and over a mile thick -- points to an open ocean passage there as recently as 125,000 years ago. A schematic of a seaway created by the partial collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The new evidence adds to geologic clues indicating the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has collapsed at least once in the last million years, and could do so again in a warmer climate. The complete(阅读全文)

Scientists recreate solar eruption in lab 认领文章 
Explosive bursts normally seen only on the surface of the sun can now be captured in a 13-foot-long tube using lab-created plasmas and bursts of laser light. Physicists have created a scaled-down model of solar eruptions called coronal mass ejections, which can wreak havoc on satellites and create beautiful northern-light displays on Earth. The new experiments suggest these eruptions are set off when gushes of charged particles flow into twisted loops of magnetic field that extend f(阅读全文)

US boosts security to protect Pentagon from WikiLeaks 认领文章 
Tomorrow’s WikiLeakers may have to be sneakier than just dumping military docs onto a Lady Gaga disc. The futurists at Darpa are working on a project that would make it harder for troops to funnel classified material to WikiLeaks -- or to foreign governments. And that means if you work for the military, get ready to have your web, email and other network usage monitored even more than it is now. Darpa’s new project is called CINDER, for Cyber Insider Threat. It’s lead by a legendary(阅读全文)

What's it like driving at 307.7 mph in an EV? 认领文章 
What’s the most exciting part of setting a land speed record in an electric vehicle? Roger Schroer, who drove the student-built Buckeye Bullet to a record-breaking 307.7 mph, says the true thrill comes from witnessing the teamwork involved in building the car. No, that’s not the feel-good copy of a cheesy press release. He says setting a land speed record in the Buckeye Bullet feels more like a successful experiment than a thrill ride. We caught up with Schroer as he returned home from the(阅读全文)

UN climate panel told to make 'significant reforms' 认领文章 
An independent review of work by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (better known as the IPCC) has recommended significant changes to the way that the organisation operates, in the wake of criticism earlier in the year over errors in its 2007 report. Despite near-unanimity among environmental scientists as to the anthropogenic causes of the Earth's observed climate change, there remains a small but vocal group of skeptical bloggers dedicated to finding any mistake in the IPCC'(阅读全文)

Arcade Fire & Google create HTML5 'experience' 认领文章 
Google has got together with indie band Arcade Fire to create a interactive musical web toy called "The Wilderness Downtown", built in HTML5, which features the band's music. It's one of several "Chrome Experiments" that Google offers to show off the power of its increasingly-influential browser. Director Chris Milk created the site, which can be found at thewildernessdowntown.com, and should work in most modern browsers that aren't Internet Explorer. The site prompts you for the address o(阅读全文)
