David Haye is usually known for his motormouth persona, and famously called his last opponent Nikolay Valuev "the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I have watched Lord of the Rings and films with strange looking people, but for a human being to look like he does is pretty shocking".

The Hayemaker takes on American heavyweight John Ruiz next, and the fight's build up has been a surprisingly low key affair in comparison to the Valuev bout, with none of the Muhammed Ali-style mockery.

Last year's Grand National at Aintree Racecourse proved to be the shock of a lifetime, with 100-1 shot Mon Mome the winner by twelve lengths.

In an astonishing race, Irishman Liam Treadwell rode calmly, steering clear of trouble while other horses fell by the wayside.
Neck and neck with the 2008 winner Comply Or Die at the final fence, the six pounds less weight carried by Mon Mome made the difference and Treadwell sprinted clear to win the Grand National on his first attempt.

This year's Champions League has felt more like the reunion league, as Henry completes a triple whammy when his Barcelona side take on his former club Arsenal.
First we had the returning David Beckham when AC Milan were drawn up against Manchester United. And in the same knock out round Jose Mourinho would learn that his Inter Milan side would be playing Chelsea.

For instance, we've all assumed that the big clash between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday would (more or less) decide the destination of this season's Premier League title.
A win for either club would tilt the odds in their particular favour; a draw would leave United in the box seat.

Cybercriminals plotting targeted hack attacks can take their time becoming familiar with a company. They can perform network or physical reconnaissance. They may be present or former employees, or they may have access to the company's facilities every day through supply deliveries, consulting activities, maintenance services -- or just by pretending to be customers.
Hiring a professional penetration tester is often a humbling experience. Using a mix of simple social engineering and technology savvy, a professional is often able to expose dangerous security holes in an organization's IT infrastructure with ease. In a few days, a penetration tester can identify security vulnerabilities overlooked by the IT staff.

Bean has sometimes been called a rich text editor, but that doesn't do this app justice. Granted, Bean isn't meant for writers with heavy-duty document demands or very specific graphical needs. But with features like minute-by-minute autosave, direct access to dictionary and thesaurus listings, full-screen mode, and something called "the Inspector," it's much more than a rich text editor.
Word processing isn't what it used to be. With the rise of the Web, the need for feature-gorged programs like Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Word have diminished. On the other hand, for many scribblers, barebones text editors are just too limp to satisfy their needs. That gap between bloated and feeble applications has opened a very comfortable niche for an offering like Bean.

With support for over 50 file systems, excluding user space implementations, GNU/Linux has been extremely successful at supporting file system innovation. That success has no doubt been aided by open source development. However, the storage industry is experiencing major architectural changes, and understanding emerging file systems -- and how to apply them -- is critical to keeping up with today's demands.
Changes impacting storage are taking place at every layer of the network architecture: Disk drives are continuing on a Moore's law-like cost/capacity curve, yet concurrently we are also seeing the growth of solid-state technology to overcome the inherent performance limitations of mechanical disk; virtualization is changing how architects think about storage, as we now have operating systems running entirely in user space within a virtual machine; and applications are choosing HTTP over FC as the preferred storage protocol.

Comcast's victorious appeal in a federal court regarding its network management techniques will not be the death of the Net neutrality crusade as we know it. Now it's Congress's turn to get involved, and in doing so, it'll actually give more power to the FCC. But if there's one thing that needs to change about the Net neutrality debate, at least for the sake of politics, it's the name.
The DC federal court of appeals didn't actually bring about the death of Net neutrality. Hopefully, all it's done is bring about the death of the phrase "Net neutrality."
I write about technology, and I'm already tired of hearing those words and writing them. Not the concept behind it, mind you, or the implications for broadband development, "pipes" management, thorny regulatory issues involved or the politics that pit an activist FCC against a corporate giant. All that continues to be ripe material for a tech columnist, and I look forward to seeing how this all plays out in Congress.

Google has become synonymous with "search," but the discovery of the fossil remains of a previously unknown species of hominid gives new meaning to "googling." The scientists who found the treasure used Google Earth to locate unexplored cave sites and fossil deposits in South Africa.
Scientists on Thursday announced the discovery of a new species of hominid, thanks to fossils whose whereabouts were located with the help of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Earth.
Dating back almost two million years, Australopithecus sediba was discovered in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in South Africa. The species appears to have had long arms, like an ape; short powerful hands; and long legs capable of striding and possibly running like a human.
