- 5TB 3.5" Enterprise HDD from Toshiba Announced - Toshiba
Electronics Europe has just announced
the amalgamation of the higher platter density with the higher number
of platters, in an enterprise level 5TB 3.5" 7200 RPM drive. It will be
equipped with either 6Gb/s SAS (MG04SCA) or 6Gb/s SATA (MG04ACA)
interfaces, and can also be supplied with Toshiba's Sanitize Instant
Erase (SIE) functionality. No information was given about release date
and pricing – given the enterprise focus that Toshiba Electronics
Europe is giving this product, I would imagine the focus would turn to
local Toshiba representatives for individual pricing.
- More than 200 million Windows 8 licenses sold - Microsoft
has announced that it has sold 200 million Windows 8 licenses and the
comment came from Tami Reller during the Goldman Sachs Technology &
Internet Conference. This is a massive number by any count as selling
200 million of any type of product or licenses is surely a milestone
worth celebrating but it is notable that Microsoft was rather quiet
about sales figures as the last update came in May of 2012. Based on
the current rate of sales, from launch to today, Windows 8 is selling
at a rate of a little over 420,000 licenses per day. For reference,
Microsoft sold roughly 240 million license of Windows 7 in a 12 month
time period but it has taken Windows 8 15 months to hit 200 million
sales. It's quite clear that, while 200 million is a massive number, it
is at a slower pace than Windows 7.
- HP To Charge For Updates And Service Packs - If
you own an HP server, be prepared to keep your support agreement up
to date. Or else. Beginning this month, HP is restricting access to
firmware updates and service packs for its entire ProLiant server line,
a product category that spans a wide range of products, from low-cost
small business servers like the ProLiant MicroServer (starting price
$359) all the way up to enterprise-class boxes that cost tens of
thousands of dollars. Previously, that firmware upgrade was available
to anyone, regardless of the server's warranty status or whether it was
under a support agreement.

- Google Now Makes It Easier to 'Text My Bro' - Google
recently updated the Google Search app for Android devices and
added some new features for voice-based commands. Specifically, Google
Now can understand relationships between the owner and their contacts.
Google points out users can now say, "OK Google, call Mom" or "text my
wife" and Google will be able to find the right contacts. Google Now
will also help users set up these contextual relationships if they
haven't already. Google also recently updated Google Play Books for
Android devices. The revised version of Play Books adds the ability to
upload PDF or e-pub files to your library from the device. The settings
and help sections have been moved to the main navigation menu. Last,
Google resolved several bugs, including a fix to prevent the screen
from going dark when the app is reading text aloud. Both Google Search
and Google Play Books are free to download from the Play Store.
- CyanogenMod 11 M3 builds now rolling out - Visit the CyanogenMod
download page and you'll see CM11 M3 builds are starting to roll
off the servers. "M" builds are milestones along the development
process as the KitKat-based CyanogenMod 11 approaches release
candidate, and eventually stable status. So M-snapshot builds are
supposed to be more stable than nightlies, but may still contain a few
bugs. At the time of writing we're seeing M3 builds for a wide range of
devices including the Galaxy S4, HTC One and LG G2, along with many
Nexus devices and legacy handsets. If you're already set up with a
custom recovery on your device, you can hit up the source link to find
the full list CM11 M3 builds ready for flashing.
- Sprint No Longer Sure About T-Mobile Bid - Sprint
is rethinking its intent to make a bid for T-Mobile after the idea
was met with skepticism from government officials. Sprint Chairman
Masayoshi Son and CEO Dan Hesse met with the U.S. Department of Justice
and the Federal Communications Commission in recent weeks. Both
agencies indicated a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile would face
tough resistance from antitrust regulators. Though Son and Hesse knew
the idea would be meet some pushback, they were surprised by the level
of skepticism for the deal, according to sources cited by The Wall
Street Journal. Sprint and T-Mobile contend that the only way for them
to effectively combat AT&T and Verizon Wireless is to join forces.
U.S. officials have, however, made it abundantly clear they prefer to
have four national carriers and not three. The Journal says Sprint may
yet make a play for T-Mobile, but will likely spend weeks or longer to
weigh its options.
- Nokia to Debut Android Phone - Nokia
plans to announce a smartphone later this month running Google's
Android operating system, rather than Microsoft's Windows Phone
platform. The device, reports The Wall Street Journal, was already
under development when Microsoft made its bid to buy Nokia's handset
business, a transaction that has yet to close. Nokia's Android phone is
meant to target emerging markets and will run a modified version of
Android that will not feature the Google Play Store. Instead, the phone
will come with Nokia's own application store and apps, such as HERE
Maps, and Mix Radio. The device is expected to make an appearance at
the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, according to the
Journal's unnamed sources. Nokia did not confirm the Journal's report.
- Bitcoin-Stealing Mac Malware Distributed via Download.com - All
you OS X users out there should be aware of this. Security researchers
from SecureMac continue to analyze the Bitcoin-stealing malware that
targets Mac OS X users. Experts
warn that the threat is being distributed under various names on a
number of websites, including on MacUpdate and Download.com. So far,
the malware, dubbed OSX/CoinThief, has been spotted as BitVanity and
StealthBit on GitHub and as Bitcoin Ticker TTM and Litecoin Ticker on
Download.com and MacUpdate. In the case of BitVanity and StealthBit,
the source code published on GitHub appeared legitimate. However,
precompiled binaries available on the code repository site were
malicious. Variants of Bitcoin Ticker TTM and Litecoin Ticker
distributed on Download.com and MacUpdate have also been found to
disguise the Bitcoin-stealing malware. Experts say the Trojan could be
distributed on other websites as well, under different names.

- Neurocam Headset monitors brainwaves, records memories! - At
first look, this device may look to you as a lab experiment, but its
surely the first of many improvements to follow. Called the Neurocam
Headset, this cool wearable accessory is developed by a Tokyo-based
team. It comes with a head-mounted camera that reads your brainwaves
and automatically starts recording when the user experiences an
interest in something, of course, using your cellphone camera. What
triggers a spike in brain activity depends on the interests the person
has. The cell phone camera is notified through an app and the devices
camera records a short 5-second video clip of that moment.

- THE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN EXPERIMENT! - Growing up my
biggest fear was getting kidnapped. I would get home early from school
and sit on my front lawn until my parents came home because I felt like
someone was inside my house waiting for me. This video
was a way for me to express that fear in an artisitc way and also
spread positive change as to why it is important to ACT when put
into these types of situations. Kids being abducted are nervous being
around the person who captured them so it's on us to know when he or
she is in danger. This video will not bring back any of the disappeared
angels but it may help prevent losing anymore to the devil.
