Game Theory and Cyber Security.

A Markov game approach to cyber security

Scattered throughout the Cloud Book, you'll find reference to game theory. Like the references back to real world developments in politics, the environment,  computing and nano technology I try to keep it real
Here's a link to something I refer to and extrapolate from. in the latter half of the book.

Speed of light?

Are objects hurtling towards the furthest reaches of the universe accelerating beyond the speed of light or is space just either more concentrated out there or thinner so photons have less space to traverse or have less to deal with on the way?

Carbon Nanoparticles Break Barriers -- And That May Not Be Good

ScienceDaily (Sep. 16, 2011) — A study by researchers from the schools of science and medicine at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis examines the effects of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) on living cells. This work is among the first to study concentrations of these tiny particles that are low enough to mimic the actual exposure of an ordinary individual.
The effects on the human body of exposure to CNPs -- minute chemicals with rapidly growing applications in electronics, medicine, and many other fields -- is just beginning to be revealed. Exposure at the level studied by the IUPUI researchers is approximately equivalent to what might be the result of improperly disposing of an item such as a television or computer monitor containing CNPs, living near a CNP producing facility, or working with CNPs

Artificial blood vessels made on a 3 D printer may
soon be used for transplants of lab -created
organs.
Until now, the stumbling block in tissue engineering
has been supplying artificial tissue with nutrients that
have to arrive via capillary vessels.Blood vessels made on 3D printer

Google bots hacked by Netgrafs

In my nanopunk novel 'Cloud' (working title), the Situationist/Anonymous alliance have a hacking tool known as the Netgraf. This seeks out politically  charged images and propoganda 'in transit and replaces them.
In the 27th August edition of "New Scientist" in the article "Poisoned Pictures" by Jeff Hecht, you can read about a hijack which causes a google bot redirection that works to the same principle.
