This is serious guys!

Two pilots on a training mission, each flying an F5 fighter aircraft, tracked the object on their airborne radar. It gave a return equal to ten or more aircraft carriers – except this object was in the air, not floating on the water. Each pilot assumed his radar equipment was faulty, until he learned that the other pilot was also getting the same return.

Can cash incentives help reduce the risk of HIV?


On the face of it, the idea seems plausible: pay individuals to take an action that would make them safer, instead of relying on broad public education campaigns to achieve the same effect.

Studies of incentives for healthy behavior have mixed results.

Mardy Fish to End His Career at U.S. Open

Former top-10 player Mardy Fish says the U.S. Open will be the last tennis tournament of his career.

The 33-year-old American has played just one competitive match since August 2013 as he's dealt with anxiety issues. Fish will use a protected ranking to gain entry to the singles field for the year's last Grand Slam event, the U.S. Tennis Association said Wednesday.

''I will finish my career at the US Open,'' Fish tweeted.

Before that, he says he'll enter tournaments in Atlanta and Cincinnati.

Fish, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 7 in 2011, had announced last month that he would play doubles with retired pal Andy Roddick in Atlanta along with making his singles comeback there.

Fish's health problems began in March 2012 when his heart started racing uncontrollably the night after he lost a match at Key Biscayne, Florida. A couple of months later, doctors induced extreme palpitations to try to pinpoint the problem. Fish then returned to action at Wimbledon that year.

At the 2012 U.S. Open, Fish won a five-setter in the third round, setting up a match against 17-time major champion Roger Federer. But Fish withdrew before playing Federer.

He remained off the tour until March 2013, when he entered the tournament at Indian Wells, California. He played 10 matches that year, then missed more than 18 months before he returned at Indian Wells again in March.

Qualcomm slashes jobs, says may split itself up

Chipmaker Qualcomm Inc said it may break itself up as it delivered its third profit warning this year and announced plans to slash jobs and spending in the face of rising competition.

The company said it would reduce costs by about $1.4 billion, cut about 4,500 full-time staff, or 15% of its workforce, and boost capital returns to shareholders.

Qualcomm shares fell 1.8% to $63.05 in after-market trading on Wednesday. The stock has lost a fifth of its value in a year.

The move comes after hedge fund Jana Partners called for Qualcomm to spin off its chip business from its highly profitable patent-licensing income, among other changes the activist asked for.

"We decided we were going to take a fresh look at the corporate structure of the company," Qualcomm president Derek Aberle said in an interview, adding that the chipmaker has reviewed its options twice already in the past decade.

"The environment is constantly changing so the analysis done earlier may not be valid anymore, so it's in that context that we're taking a look at it again now," Aberle said.

The company said it expected to complete its strategic review by the end of the year and also agreed to add three new board members in cooperation with the activist.

For the review, Qualcomm is being advised by investment banks Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) and Evercore Partners Inc (EVR.N), according to people familiar with the matter.

Qualcomm's Aberle added that M&A in the semiconductor industry is at a "heightened level."

Semiconductor dealmaking has reached $79.7 billion so far this year, the highest level since 2000.

Cisco to Buy OpenDNS for $635 Million to Boost Security Business

Cisco Systems Inc said on Tuesday it would buy OpenDNS, a privately held cloud-based security firm, for $635 million (roughly Rs. 4,043 crores), the latest move to boost its security business as cyber-attacks increase in number and sophistication.
Cisco has been buying a number of security companies, which has made its relatively tiny security business one of its fastest growing areas in the past two years.

OpenDNS uses predictive intelligence to block malware, botnets and phishing threats that antivirus and firewalls miss. Cisco was a minority investor and was one of the backers that invested $35 million (roughly Rs. 222 crores) in OpenDNS in May last year.

When Cisco buys stakes in startups, it often receives defensive rights that give it an edge to acquire companies it has invested in ahead of competitors.

The acquisition of OpenDNS is Cisco's first after it said in May that veteran sales executive Chuck Robbins would replace John Chambers as CEO in July.

"M&A will continue to be an important part of what we do," said Hilton Romanski, Cisco's chief technology & strategy officer, adding that the M&A strategy of being an active investor and potential acquirer will continue under Robbins.
