My Social Security Nightmare — Someone Hacks Our Online Social Security Work and Benefit Records

These days my worst nightmare involves Social Security. Having written a book and co-developed software to help people collect Social Security benefits I’ve come to realize just how critically important are the Social Security earnings record histories we accumulated while working.

Or if those records were the subject of tampering, we could be given dramatically more or less benefits than we were owed.

How to build a nanoscale computer
The latest chips from Intel have silicon transistors with features as small as 14 nanometers.

But what if we ditch silicon, and build computers using transistors made of carbon nanotubes?
