• Scientists Invented An Injectable Oxygen Particle - Scientists have developed a new microparticle filled with oxygen that can be injected into the blood stream, keeping you alive even if you can't intake air into your lungs. The microparticles are actually tiny capsules (2-4 micrometers tiny) made of a single layer of lipids surrounding a small bubble of oxygen gas. The capsule is suspended in a liquid so that the bubbles don't get any bigger (which would make them deadly, FYI). Upon injecting the capsule-filled liquid into the bloodstream, the capsules crash into your red blood cells, transferring the oxygen gas from the capsule to the cell. About 70% of the oxygen injected successfully makes its way into the blood stream this way. This injection method was so successful that the scientists managed to keep rabbits with blocked windpipes alive for fifteen whole minutes.

• How To Weaponize Icicles - It has been tested before, even by The Mythbusters (one of our favorite shows): Can you kill somebody with ice as ammo? Guns obviously won't work, as Adam and Jamie demonstrated. The bullets are too brittle and do not withstand the pressure of both the expanding hot gases and the target impact. But what if a nice big chunk of ice is shot from a rubber based weapon? The acceleration is a lot less abrupt, yet the terminal velocity can be substantial. The Slingshot Channel tests this! See how ice cubes, but also artificial icicles fare against soft and hard targets, including ballictic gelatin...

• How Dropbox Knows When You're Sharing Copyrighted Stuff - For years now, Internet users have gotten used to the risk of having files and content they share through various online services be subject to takedown requests based on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and/or content-matching algorithms. But users have also gotten used to using services like Dropbox as their own private, cloud-based file storage and sharing systems, facilitating direct person-to-person file transfer without having to worry about such issues. This weekend, though, a small corner of the Internet exploded with concern that Dropbox was going too far, actually scanning users' private and directly peer-shared files for potential copyright issues. What's actually going on is a little more complicated than that, but shows that sharing a file on Dropbox isn't always the same as sharing that file directly from your hard drive over something like e-mail or instant messenger.

• T-Mobile to Do Away with Employer Rate Plan Discounts - Beginning April 1, T-Mobile will no longer offer monthly discounts to employees of certain companies. In the past, T-Mobile offered these discounts to help close large corporate sales. Given the changes T-Mobile has made to its service plans and device purchasing policies over the last year, T-Mobile feels the practice of offering employer discounts is now outdated. In its place, T-Mobile will offer those employees $25 toward the purchase of a new device. "This change is about simplifying wireless for everyone, including employees of small and large companies alike," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere in a statement. "It's simple, clear and transparent – like everything we do."

• Microsoft Makes Office Free for iPhone and Android Phones - Microsoft today updated Office for the iPhone and Android smartphones and made the application suite free for home users. Previously, the app required a subscription to Office 365, which carried a monthly fee. iPhone and Android smartphone owners can now open, edit, and create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on their smartphone for no charge. Business users will still need to subscribe to Office 365 in order to access Office on their smartphone. The change comes just after Microsoft announced Office for the Apple iPad. Office for the iPad is free to download, but is limited to read-only unless iPad owners subscribe to Office 365.
• Office for iPad is official, downloads now available - Microsoft has finally announced Office for the iPad at its event in San Francisco today which will finally bring its productivity suit to iOS. The Office applications can be downloaded from here: Word | Excel | Powerpoint.
• Apple gets 30 percent cut of Office 365 subscriptions - Microsoft and Apple's CEOs were congratulating each other Thursday, via Twitter, on the launch of Office for iPad, and now we know why Apple's leader Tim Cook might be very happy Microsoft brought Word, Excel and PowerPoint to their tens of millions of tablets. Re/code has confirmed with Apple that they will get a 30 percent cut of any revenues generated from Office 365 subscriptions if they are made within the iPad apps. Considering that there may be a lot of iPad owners who have yet to sign up for Office 365, that could represent not just a new revenue stream for Microsoft but also a significant boost for Apple's bottom line as well. Of course, people who already have Office 365 subscriptions, like the 3.5 million people who already signed up for the Home Premium version, won't see any of their money going to Apple.
• This Little-Known iOS Feature Will Change the Way We Connect - A new iOS app called FireChat is blowing up in the App Store. But it's not the app itself that's causing such a stir, it's the underlying networking technology it taps into. The idea behind FireChat is simple. It's a chatting app. After registering with a name - no email address or other personal identifiers required - you're dropped into a fast-moving chatroom of “Everyone” using it in your country. The interesting aspect, however, is the "Nearby" option. Here, the app uses Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework, essentially a peer-to-peer feature that lets you share messages (and soon photos) with other app users nearby, regardless of whether you have an actual Wi-Fi or cellular connection. You read that correctly. You're able to send and receive messages even when you don't have a data connection. FireChat accomplishes this magic by allowing each device to connect directly to others nearby using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, or traditional Wi-Fi networks. Because you're connecting directly with other users, you don't actually need to be connected over Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
• AT&T's Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Earns KitKat Update - AT&T today made Android 4.4 KitKat available to its variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

• Microsoft releases source code to MS DOS 1.1 and 2.0 - In this age of touchscreen and voice command interfaces, it's sometimes hard to believe that less than 40 years ago, we just used keyboards to interact with our personal computers. Today, Microsoft gave us a helpful reminder of that fact by announcing it is making the original source code for MS DOS 1.1 and 2.0 and Word for Windows 1.1a to the public for the first time. In a blog post, Microsoft says it worked with the Computer History Museum on this project. Roy Levin, the distinguished engineer and managing director for Microsoft Research, stated, "Thanks to the Computer History Museum, these important pieces of source code will be preserved and made available to the community for historical and technical scholarship." The source code can be found on the group's website for MS DOS 1.1 and 2.0 and for Word for Windows 1.1a. People who choose to download the code must agree to use it for non-commercial purposes; the code may also not be posted anywhere else on the Internet.
• Microsoft offers Windows XP users $100 off select Windows 8 PCs  - With the Windows XP end-of-support date now less than three weeks away, Microsoft has yet another deal trying to woo users off the ancient 12-year-old operating system. The company is offering $100 off new Windows 8 PCs in its Microsoft Stores to anyone who can present their existing Windows XP device to a store associate. There are a few catches though. First of all, the deal is limited to select PCs, a list which is only available in-store. Furthermore, all the computers must cost at least $599. Microsoft provided us with a seperate link for the deal, but the page wouldn't load completely in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. Even in Chrome, however, while the 24 computers offered did load, none of the Microsoft Store pages indicated that an XP machine was detected, and thus there was no indication of an additional $100 discount when attempting to buy online. Apparently if you wait long enough, Microsoft will be paying you to take a Windows 8 machine just to move you off of the XP dead center :-D LOL
• Puget: Windows 8 is not our fault, but we have to clean up after Microsoft's terrible UI decisions - Puget has an interesting blog post sharing some of its experience on how customers have reacted to Windows 8, the operating system’s weak adoption, and what they’re doing to ease the transition. As a custom system builder, the company argues that Windows 8 may not be their “fault” but it is directly tied to customer experience and thus it has to do something about it.
• Hackers already attacking ATMs as Microsoft's Windows XP deadline - Just 14 days remain until Microsoft cuts off support for Windows XP and as we have reported before, the 12 year old operating system is used in 95 percent of all ATMs. Now a new report by software security company Symantec claims that hackers are already finding ways to attack these cash machines via a combination of malware and hardware. One of those methods is to install a specific malware called Backdoor.Ploutus, which was first discovered in 2013 in Mexico. Hackers used it to get money out of ATMs via an external keyboard. A variant of that software, called Backdoor.Ploutus.B, was later found in early 2014. It has not only been written in the English language but had been modified so that hackers could simply send a SMS command to the infected ATM when another mobile phone connected to it. Symantec says they were able to replicate this kind of attack in their labs. They claim that protecting older ATMs that still have Windows XP installed from this kind of method will be "more challenging" and offer a number of ways banks can protect their machines, not the least of which is upgrading to Windows 7 or 8. Many banks are already in the middle of their ATM OS upgrade and play to pay Microsoft lots of money to continue to support Windows XP past April 8th until that task is finished.  It is important to note that many ATMs run Windows XP embedded (toolkit and runtime) which will not reach an end of life until January of 2016.
• Google Takedown Notices Surge 711,887% In 4 Years - A new paper published in the Virginia Journal of Law and Technology shows that the number of DMCA notices received by Google increased 711,887 percent in four years.

Yeah, I don't use Google anymore...they kept only zillions of infected pages.

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Roundup - The chaps over at PC Perspective have rounded up a handful of video cards today and put them to the test. The quietest card was the one with just a single fan, the PNY GTX 750 Ti XLR8 OC that registered 31 dbA at idle and 31.9 dbA under a full gaming load. Pricing and availability can be a hassle for anyone looking for the PNY or Galaxy cards - they are currently only for sale on each company's own website.  The EVGA however is widely available on Amazon.com and Newegg.com, starting in the $175 range.  If the other two models can actually be purchased reliably for $159 then they present a value proposition against the EVGA model
• NVIDIA Announces Spring 2014 GeForce Game Bundles - For purchasers of the GeForce GTX 660/760 and above, NVIDIA will be including a voucher for a Steam copy of the survival horror game Daylight. Daylight is a game we have admittedly not heard much about thus far, but a bit of research tells us that it comes from Zombie Studios, the developers responsible for the Spec Ops and Blacklight series of games, among others. More excitingly, this will be the first game released that uses Unreal Engine 4, coming out ahead of other titles such as Epic’s own Fortnite. Daylight is set to retail for $15, so this won’t be quite as aggressive a bundle that the outgoing AC4 bundle was.
  
• AVAST: Cutting off Windows XP support is a mistake - Anti-virus software maker AVAST claims 23.6 percent of its users still have Windows XP installed on their PC and called Microsoft's decision to cut off support on April 8th a "big mistake". In a blog post, AVAST claims that the elimination of patches for XP "will create severe security issues". It says that 23.6 percent of its 211 million customers are still using XP on their PCs and seemed to suggest that many of them could not afford to upgrade to a more recent version of Windows. AVAST stated, "Abandoning Windows XP is a big mistake, especially since Microsoft has not been very successful in transitioning XP users to newer systems." The company also claims that the security problems connected to the end of support for XP will extend beyond just the computers that have the OS installed on their hard drives

• Skype for Android Update Focuses on Battery Life - Microsoft has pushed out an update to the Android version of its mobile Skype application. The change notes indicate the app has been rewritten in order to make "aggressive battery savings." Microsoft says that the app can be left running in the background all day with no noticeable impact on battery life, but it had to disable push notifications for group chats in order to realize those efficiency gains. Users can elect to turn the group chat push notifications back on, though their impact on battery life is not clear.
• Google keyboard update comes with cloud synced personlized - Google has rolled out an update to its own keyboard app on Android in the Play Store, the update is significant in that it now comes with personalized word suggestion synced from the cloud from other Google services. Not to be confused with the "personal dictionary", this adds another scope to the experience by syncing personal auto suggested (saved) words from Chrome browser, Gmail, Calendar, Google+, and Drive. After applying the update, the user is given a prominent warning of the new feature, perhaps saving embarrassment for synced unsavory words used in the other Google products, and also because it is enabled by default.

• Evaluating AMD's TrueAudio and Mantle Technologies with Thief - Wrapping things up, even with the launch of Thief I'm not sure much has changed for TrueAudio at the moment. Subjectively speaking, Thief's convolution reverb effect just isn't that impressive due to how overdone it feels, so while it shows us a bit of what the TrueAudio hardware is capable of it's nowhere near being the killer app for the technology. On the other hand the Tuscany demo, though just a simple spatialization demo, is very impressive for how accurate and realistic it sounds. The catch is that it's just a demo.
• Mozilla kills Metro version of Firefox - Just four days before it was due to ship, Mozilla has scrapped the Metro version of Firefox citing low adoption of the Windows 8 Metro interface -- which Microsoft now calls 'Modern UI'.

Seriously though.. Windows needs to go talk to Google and work something out so they can use Android apps. I know that'll mess up the whole ecosystem competition of every big company trying to get every to use their own cloud stuff complete with email and the like. But Windows mobile is going to go the way of the Zune if they don't figure something out.

Production of the next iPhone (or iPhones) is said to be starting in Q2, though there aren't many more specifics available, and no indication of just how many devices will be produced at that time. Currently not much is known about the so-called iPhone 6 aside from a few details about its display, which is said to be made of sapphire (possibly at Apple's new Mesa, AZ plant) and will be bigger than the current iPhone display. Some reports even indicate that there could be two new models with differing screen sizes, both bigger than the iPhone 5s.

• MALEFICENT - Official - From Disney comes "Maleficent" - the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well. Release Date: May 30, 2014 (3D/2D theaters).

He was among the top voice-over artists of a generation, creating a career based on a rich baritone speaking voice that ranged from biblically epic to theatrically cheesy.

• Intel's 800Gbps cables headed to cloud data centers - Intel and several of its partners said they will make 800Gbps cables available in the second half of this year, bringing big speed increases to supercomputers and data centers. The new cables are based on Intel's Silicon Photonics technology that pushes 25Gbps across each fiber. Last year, Intel demonstrated speeds of 100Gbps in each direction, using eight fibers. A new connector that goes by the name "MXC" holds up to 64 fibers (32 for transmitting and 32 for receiving), enabling a jump to 800Gbps in one direction and 800Gbps in the other, or an aggregate of "1.6Tbps" as Intel prefers to call it. (In case you're wondering, MXC is not an acronym for anything.)

• iPhone Air Concept 2014 - The design by Sam Beckett rests upon the same principles that Apple's existing devices use, such as flat metal sides that act as the antennae with chamfered metal edges. The concept also boasts sapphire glass, an enhancement which seems likely given Apple's recent investment in the manufacture of the material. However the 1920x1080 resolution that Beckett gives is unlikely to be included on a real device, as Apple traditionally do their best to maintain aspect ratios in their device upgrades; they are more likely to double the iPhone 5s' resolution, as they did with the iPads with Retina Displays. An imaginary 10-megapixel camera makes an appearance as well as the existing Touch ID sensor. This comes within a device which, if ever made real, would be 9% thinner than the current generation.
• Leaked video shows Wi-Fi Sense in Windows Phone 8.1 - The brief clip on UnleashThePhones' YouTube channel shows how users will be able to turn off Wi-Fi on their handset for a brief period before it comes back on again automatically.

This will enable them to login automatically the next time the phone "senses" that the Wi-Fi hotspot is available. Finally, Wi-Fi Sense includes a feature where users can actually share their hotspot connection information with others via their Outlook.com, Skype and Facebook contacts. So if a group of friends gather at the same hotspot, one person can simply send that login and account info to their buddies without the others having to type it in manually.

• 'Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey' Reboots Carl - "The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. Come with me." With those words in 1980 the astronomer Carl Sagan launched "Cosmos," an epic 13-part TV series that brought science to the public like never before, and opened up all of space and time to exploration. A generation later, Sagan's legacy lives again in "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," a 21st-century reboot premiering on Fox tonight (March 9). The new "Cosmos" (the original was billed as "A Personal Journey") updates its predecessor with a blend of spectacular visual effects and the latest astronomical discoveries. 'Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey' is a 21st-century reboot of astronomer Carl Sagan's iconic 1980 science television series. The new 13-part series, hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, begins March 9, 2014 on Fox. Yet the all-new 13-episode series - hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a fitting successor to Sagan for reasons the first episode makes clear - still stays true to the north star as Sagan's original: to share the wonder of the universe and science with viewers today. The people behind the new series think Sagan would be proud. [Carl Sagan's Astronomical Legacy in Pictures]
