A shortage of volunteers to staff the new Ebola clinics and hospitals the international community is building in West Africa threatens efforts to bring the deadly virus rapidly under control, aid agencies have warned.

Intel partners with Samsung to halve the price of 4K monitors, but its useless without support from GPU vendors and Microsoft
2014-06-05 13:32:36| Extremetech
Intel wants to push Samsung and other vendors to dramatically cut the price of 4K panels and AIOs, but the company is targeting the wrong screen size for the effort. 24-inch panels are simply too small for 4x the resolution -- and if you have to scale software upwards by 2-4x, you lose the advantages of the effect.

European climate policy: Worse than useless
2014-01-25 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economist: SINCE climate change was identified as a serious threat to the planet, Europe has been in the vanguard of the effort to mitigate it. The policies it has adopted are designed with two aims in mind: to cut European emissions drastically and to push other big emitters into adopting similar policies. By both measures, they have failed. That America and China have not taken serious steps to reduce their own emissions is hardly Europes fault.
