<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The official wallpaper of Ubuntu 15.10 has been made available in Launchpad for download. I wasn’t expecting much changes as Canonical doesn’t like any fancy alterations. The last major change happened few years ago when they changed the color scheme from orange tint to purple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are some subtle changes from the Ubuntu 15.04 wallpaper and it borrows its design from the same origami-inspired ‘Suru’ design. The new wallpaper is much lighter in color, a little more orange tint at the top and it feels good to eyes. The rectangular sections remain there with some changes – the folding pattern of Origami, of course.</span></div>

With the ever-increasing intrusion of computers and electronics in our lives, ranging from our home automation system to cars,</span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> everything has become a hacker’s target.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This could also create problems in the battlefield where any software plays an important role in military and intelligence systems. Recently, in a DARPA drill, hackers were given the complete access to the computer of a Boeing Little Bird helicopter – but they were unable to disrupt the critical systems of the helicopter. How did this happen? Well, the computer in the helicopter was using a new operating system, based on an unhackable kernel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kernel is the heart of any computer’s operating system and if hackers can access it, they can do some irreparable damages to your system. Here, I’m talking about a very dangerous situation where security of power station systems, heart pacemakers, vehicles, weapons etc. could be compromised. The Australian national research agency Data61 has developed an unhackable kernel named seL4 – and<a href="http://sel4.systems/Info/FAQ/proof.pml" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> proved this mathematically</span>.</a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gernot Heiser from Data61 writes, “My hope is that in 10 years’ time, anything that is security critical is running on our system or some other one built on the principles we’ve established.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The seL4 unhackable kernel comes with some very secure characteristics. It can only do what it’s <em style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">designed</em> to do and its code is unalterable without permission. Along the similar lines, its memory and data can’t be read without permission. Another interesting fact: An earlier version of seL4, known as OKL4, could be found in millions of smartphones.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The seL4 unhackable kernel works this way by isolating the data and the kernel. This could also be used to run two operating systems simultaneously to stop the hacking.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The seL4 unhackable kernel could also be used in multiple situations like medical equipment, manufacturing plants, automobiles, satellites and more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This ad developed by Lowe Lintas Delhi, along with Google India, takes forward the #TogetherOnline initiative to empower women in India with the knowledge of Internet. It explains the fear of doing something new for the first time and how we can help our parents overcome that. And what google wants from us, the tech-savvy audience, to take this as a duty towards our moms, just like the female protagonist in the advertisement.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In its post about ACS, Microsoft didn’t tell why it needed to develop its own Linux distro.

However, in the Hyperloop intro video below, you can see this new plant located in Downtown Los Angeles Arts District.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The timing of the release of the video is crucial as Hyperloop Technologies appointed former Cisco top executive Rob Lloyd as the new CEO.
