Infrastructure provides the basic needs for society, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health and well-being of a society. For developing countries, the civil and environmental engineer are at the epicenter in seeking means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.
The current rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated with environmental degradation such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, etc.
In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, proper planning, implementation and verification exercises are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach. The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.

The Data Liberation Front (the Data Liberation Front)
The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We do this because we believe that any data that you create in (or import into) a product is your own. We help and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to "liberate" their products.

Fuite Twitter : la société était au courant depuis juin
Le 17 juin, il est 12h42. Avec l'autorisation de Hacker Croll, la rédaction de ZATAZ.COM rentre en contacte avec Twitter et Evan Williams,son co-fondateur. Notre but, avertir la société de la fuite et permettre à l'internaute de s'expliquer. Notre courriel trouvera une réponse à 23h32. Décalage horaire oblige, Evan Williams, nous invite à le rejoindre sur MSN. Durant plusieurs heures, nous allons expliquer à Evan Williams comment le français avait réussi, avec un peu de finesse et de social engineering, à mettre la main sur les données.
La prise de contacte effectuée. L'ensemble des mots de passe, accès, ... ont été corrigés. Hacker Croll avait annoncé qu'il ne diffuserait pas les informations maintenant que son action d'alerte avait été entendue. Nous nous sommes permis, cependant, de demander à Evan Williams si une compensation pouvait être réfléchie à l'attention du jeune surfeur. Evan Williams n'y voyait pas d'inconvénient et avait promis d'y réfléchir. "Heureusement que t'étais là, confiait l'internaute à ZATAZ.COM, Sinon j'aurai tout diffusé n'importe comment comme je l'avais fait pour l'admin Twitter". Seulement, les jours ont passé. Evan s'en est allé et Hacker Croll a préféré diffuser les documents.

If anyone has ever been involved in Industrial Design, Interior Design or Architecture for a large (or even mid sized) corporation you will know the pain of an incredibly slow process punctuated by hours of mind numbing meetings where an original concept is diluted beyond recognition by accounts, engineering, marketing, middle management, upper management, directors and the weird guy who is either in the IT department or servicing the coffee machine.

littleBits, a growing library of preassembled circuitboards, made easy by tiny magnets!
littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

The Photos application is one of Facebook’s most popular features. Up to date, users have uploaded over 15 billion photos which makes Facebook the biggest photo sharing website. For each uploaded photo, Facebook generates and stores four images of different sizes, which translates to a total of 60 billion images and 1.5PB of storage. The current growth rate is 220 million new photos per week, which translates to 25TB of additional storage consumed weekly. At the peak there are 550,000 images served per second. These numbers pose a significant challenge for the Facebook photo storage infrastructure.
