LOL To see if they also got rid of the dinosaur cam and went to dual overhead. Corvette's have been my car since I was a kid, no really I bought the first one 1968 427 TRI-POWER at 18 years old! And couldn't even drive it off the lot because NO ONE would insure me! I couldn't get insured until I was 24 years old. (It may have been all those SPEEDING tickets LOL) And I bought my 2nd vette 1972 slow stingray. It cost $5,100 and cost me $7,700 PER YEAR FOR INSURANCE! Then a little over $10 in pure speed parts and it was a FAST vette! Then a 1967, 1984 (SUPER SLOW and no way to make it fast!), 1987 faster, then my fastest one even fast then my later ZR1 my 1969. I put about $35K in the 1969, high rise offenhauser 360 tunnel ram, dual 650's, cam, balanced, blue printed, roller rockers, Muncie rock crusher... 0 to 100 in just under 4 seconds. Then a 1991 ZR1 my last vette after about $37K it was really fast. But never beat my 0 to 100 in the 69. But...    less

    Robert Brumley I think this new mid engine makes for a well balanced car with better handling. I think according to what they said it has a 490HP , 496 pounds of torque small block Chevy.

I think according to what they said it has a 490HP , 496 pounds of torque small block Chevy. Not faster or more powerful than the 2019 ZRI @ 720Hp , but about 25K cheaper. Seriously who wants to go faster. This new Vette hauls petunias. I've owned Chevy's throughout the years. First one was a 68 Chevelle Malibu SS with a 327 and muncie 4 speed. Second was a 73 Nova with a 350ci which lasted many years ( die hard tank) with 310,000 miles. Third but last was a 1979 Z28 Camaro, one of my favorites with T-tops and pretty powerful 350. The fastest cars I've owned were Mopars. A 1974 Plymouth Duster with a 360ci 4speed that would eat Chevys for breakfast, a 72 Dodge Challenger 340 6pack (very nice) and the most torque monster was a Plymouth Cuda 71 440 commando motor. And now my 2019 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi that's 395hp 410pounds of torque. Love really all American cars that are fast. First car though was a 1964 Ford Fairlane...    less

Never raced a Vette. I put what was called a cheater cam which had more duration than lift to qualify for stock eliminator class. Had to have stock intake and stock carb. Did the 1/4 mile in a flat 12 seconds with Hooser racing slicks. In the mid 1970's there were no stock cars from the factory that would do flat 12's in the 1/4 mile. Duster was a light car. Lighter than Nova's. Don't know of any Vettes that would do the quarter (stock in 12's at that time either.) They were 14 second machines in the quarter at that time. Right now if I had the money I would race any Vette with the new Challenger 1000HP Hellephant 426 HEMI which will also top out at 220 mph and get there faster than a Ferrari. lol  less

  Earlier this month, The Hacker News covered a story on research revealing how over 1300 Android apps are collecting sensitive data even when users have explicitly denied the required permissions.
  The research was primarily focused on how app developers abuse multiple ways around to collect location data, phone identifiers, and MAC addresses of their users by exploiting both covert and side channels.

  A neuromorphic computer that can simulate 8 million neurons is in the news. The term "neuromorphic" suggests a design that can mimic the human brain. And neuromorphic computing? It is described as using very large scale integration systems with electric analog circuits imitating neuro-biological architectures in our system.
  
  
  This is where Intel steps in, and significantly so. The Loihi chip applies the principles found in biological brains to computer architectures. The payoff for users is that they can process information up to 1,000 times faster and 10,000 times more efficiently than CPUs for specialized applications, e.g., sparse coding, graph search and constraint-satisfaction problems.

  If you think that the media files you receive on your end-to-end encrypted secure messaging apps can not be tampered with, you need to think again.
  Security researchers at Symantec yesterday demonstrated multiple interesting attack scenarios against WhatsApp and Telegram Android apps, which could allow malicious actors to spread fake news or scam users into sending payments to wrong accounts.
  Dubbed "Media File Jacking," the attack leverages an already known fact that any app installed on a device can access and rewrite files saved in the external storage, including files saved by other apps installed on the same device.
  WhatsApp and Telegram allow users to choose if they want to save all incoming multimedia files on internal or external storage of their device.  less

  Security researchers confirmed The Hacker News that RingCentral, used by over 350,000 businesses, and Zhumu, a Chinese version of Zoom, also runs a hidden local web server on users' computers, just like Zoom for macOS.
  The controversial local web server that has been designed to offer an automatic click-to-join feature was found vulnerable to remote command injection attacks through 3rd-party websites.  less

  Internet giant Google acknowledged Thursday that a language expert it partnered with had leaked sensitive Dutch audio data, following a report by the Belgian media group VRT.
  
  
  Google also acknowledged that its Google Assistant device was liable to "false accept" pickups that would allow it to record by mistake without having been activated by users.
  
  The group said it partnered with language experts to create products like Google Assistant, and that "one of these language reviewers has violated our data security policies by leaking confidential Dutch audio data."
  
  VRT said it had listened to more than 1,000 recordings from devices in Belgium and the Netherlands, of which 153 were accidental.  less

  The chaos and panic that the disclosure of privacy vulnerability in the highly popular and widely-used Zoom video conferencing software created earlier this week is not over yet.
  As suspected, it turns out that the core issue—a locally installed web server by the software—was not just allowing any website to turn on your device webcam, but also could allow hackers to take complete control over your Apple's Mac computer remotely.
  Reportedly, the cloud-based Zoom meeting platform for macOS has also been found vulnerable to another severe flaw (CVE-2019-13567) that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system just by convincing...    less

  After months of negotiations, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved a record $5 billion settlement with Facebook over its privacy investigation into the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
  The settlement will put an end to a wide-ranging probe that began more than a year ago and centers around the violation of a 2011 agreement Facebook made with the FTC that required Facebook to gain explicit consent from users to share their personal data.
  The FTC launched an investigation into the social media giant last year after it was revealed that the company allowed Cambridge Analytica access to the personal data of around 87 million Facebook users without their explicit consent.  less
