Study of Ice Age Bolsters Carbon and Warming Link
A paper published by the journal Science suggests that the sharp warming that ended the last ice age occurred in lock step with increases in carbon dioxide.
"Dr. Parrenin’s paper is the third in recent years to suggest that the
gap in the climate records between polar temperature and CO2,
if it exists at all, is relatively small. And Jeremy Shakun, a visiting
scholar at Harvard, pointed out in a paper last year that the timing of
the temperature increase in Antarctica could not be assumed to be
representative of the world as a whole. When he compiled a global
temperature record for the end of the ice age, he found that increases
of carbon dioxide came first, and rising temperatures came second.
The tight relationship in past climate between temperature and carbon
dioxide is a major reason scientists have warned that modern society is
running a big risk by burning CO2-producing fossil fuels.
The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has jumped 41 percent
since the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, and
scientists fear it could double or triple unless stronger efforts are
made to control emissions.
Even at the current concentration of the gas, the evidence suggests that
increases in sea level of 25 feet or more may have already become
inevitable, albeit over a long period."

Daily Report: Samsung Armors Android Software to Take On BlackBerry
In Thursday’s New York Times, Brian X. Chen and Ian Austen report on the South Korean electronics giant Samsung adding security enhancements to Android software to make its phones more attractive to big corporations. Until recently, the company marketed its best-selling smartphones to consumers around the world, but not to businesses."The open source nature of Android allows security contractors to take existing devices and adapt them for highly secure uses. For example Samsung has worked with General Dynamics through their Open Kernel Labs acquisition to rebuild Jellybean on top of their hardened microvisor for the "Knox" project.[112][113]"
