NYC plans to turn sewage sludge into energy. Ultra-thin paint cuts fuel costs on jets. Power your devices with water. Yes, water.

They’re a shadowy cybersecurity company who pitched clients like BofA on how they could destroy Wikileaks for them. Their CEO boasted they could take down Anonymous and instead the company got their head handed to them on a platter.
