And this could even extend for other armed forces as well. Right now the 3D printers use raw materials as metals and plastics to build objects, but in future if a 3D printer that uses nano-materials is devised, then the idea of printing a military vessel wouldn’t be far fetched.</div>

The developed nations are in the race to get the best technologies for their defence forces.

The report says that not just 3D, but the 4D printing technology is also in progress. The 4D printed materials would be able to adapt to the surroundings. The research and development work continues to make the battlefront less endangering for the soldiers and therefore, the technology is harnessed to create cutting edge military weapons and armors.</div>

The Dark Web is No More “Dark”, .Onion Websites Get Official Recognition

It’s a no denying fact that Dark Web hosts tons of illegal websites, but at the same time it’s a home to multiple whistleblowing websites. Until now, these dark web sites with .onion domain were deprived of some basic security features and certificates.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If you considered visiting Dark Web sites a very safe practice, you were wrong. But, things are changing and it’s a very good sign. On Wednesday, according to the new decisions made by the internet regulators, the .onion websites are getting recognitional at an official level and it’ll allow them to offer better security layers to the users.</div>

The internet domain names are overseen by an organization known as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The Internet Engineering Task Force and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), a part of ICANN, has given the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">.onion Tor websites</span></span> </span>a “Special Use Domain” status. Now, these websites have got an official status.</div>

Now, IANA recognizes that there are legitimate reasons to run the Dark Web sites using the Tor network. This will also give a chance to these website owners to get SSL and TLS security certificates and bring the power of encryption to their .onion websites.</div>

Also, this special use domain .onion can only be used within Tor network. For those who don’t know, TOR stands for The Onion Router- hence the .onion domain name.</div>

The new Special Use Domain brings the same level of security you see in the outer and not-so-dark web.

He says: “I know of two instances where people on metered connections went over their data cap for August because of this unwanted download.

Apple’s iPad Pro looks like an answer to Microsoft Surface Pro tablet that was introduced about three years ago. The company came up with almost similar specs and size- and even included a similar looking compact keyboard built into the iPad Pro cover. That time, the former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got criticized for attaching a keyboard to a tablet. Back then, Steve predicted that other companies will be launching similar tablets in the upcoming years.</div>
