Invisible Rain Headlights

Intel is more than just computer processors and chipsets.  Recently CNET showed off one of their new technology projects that help make rain invisible when driving at night.  Essentiall, a computer processes the falling rain and then blocks out the light that would hit those drops so it doesn't show up.  This is crazy processing power and there is a video of it in action.

Miiverse Released

It is official, Miiverse has finally been released to web browsers! It is said to be very close to that provided on the WiiU itself. You will find the bulk of the info at the provided link.”The browser version is almost the same as what you'll find on Wii U, with a few features reserved for the console.”

Miiverse, that perfectly civil, friendly and downright jovial Wii U utopia of a social network, which doubles as a place to discover just how much patience people have for creating incredibly elaborate works of art using two colors and a stylus, is now available in your browser. You're now free to sit in the back of the bus and marvel at all the illustrations of Adventure Time and Midna you want.

Ubuntu Linux Evolves to Raring Ringtail

Ubuntu is one of the Linux projects that keeps on kicking.  Ubuntu 13.04 'Raring Ringtail' has just been released and after checking out the video below, you may wonder why you're not running this operating system instead of anything from Microsoft or Apple.  There are a lot of awesome features in Linux - but compatibility is still the biggest drawback.  Take a look.  It is good stuff and is worth considering.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Display Shoot-out

One of the big selling features on the high-end smartphones is the display. The new Samsung Galaxy S4 is boasting a big OLED screen that has the same resolution as your big screen TV. But just how good is the screen? Is it really better than the others? What do all the numbers and specs mean? Gizmodo tries to answer all those questions and puts the Galaxy S4's screen up agains the others over here.

The Samsung Galaxy S smartphones are by far the most popular Android smartphones, and are flagship products for Samsung to show off its latest and greatest OLED display technology. The display on the Galaxy S4 is a major enhancement and improvement over the Galaxy S III—it has a full HD 1920x1080 resolution display with 441 Pixels Per Inch. It is also better calibrated, brighter, and bigger. We'll analyze the Galaxy S4 with an in-depth objective series of Lab tests and measurements included below—and size it up next to the competition.

Windows 8 is 6 Months Old

6 months ago Windows 8 was released to the public. The reception to the touchscreen-based operating system has been mixed, but according to Microsoft was selling quite well at launch and shortly after. Now its been 6 months and Microsoft is being a little more quiet about sales figures and appears to be working on an update (Windows Blue or 8.1). The Verge takes a closer look at the past 6 months since Windows 8 was launched.

The Windows 8 operating system debuted on October 26th, six months ago today. Intended as the savior of a flagging PC industry, Microsoft's latest software is designed specifically for touch-equipped hardware. While Apple continues to increase its iPad shipments year-on-year, Microsoft and its OEMs are fresh out the gate with an operating system that tries to marry a keyboard and mouse-driven UI to a modern touch-enabled interface. Microsoft provided some early signs of Windows 8's sales performance, but recently it has been rather quiet. How well is the big Windows 8 gamble paying off?

Nintendo posts a profit

Even though the Wii U hasn't done as well as Nintendo hoped, they still managed to post a profit in the previous year. Nintendo is hoping that once they get some more titles out for the Wii U it will start to help them make more profits and the 3DS also has some big titles coming out soon. The Inquirer has more details over here on all things Nintendo.

 

Nintendo has published its latest financial results for the year just ended.

The firm said that it made a profit of 7.1bn yen (£46.8m), but has weathered some tough times.

A note released to explain increased operating losses, blames weak sales of recent hardware for a lack of financial spark.

EA releases SimCity patch, breaks SimCity even more

EA just can't catch a break with SimCity. After the release debacle, people have finally stopped complaining (as much) about the game so EA figured it would be safe to finally release their "2.0" patch to fix a bunch of problems. Well, obviously since this made the news things didn't go well and now they've made all their customers even more angry. PCGamesN has the details of yet another EA disaster.

Just as EA and Maxis seemed ready to put launch issues to bed and march onwards with the development of their “MMO”, SimCity’s 2.0 patch has infused the game with a colourful array of shiny new bugs. Fans have taken to Reddit and official forums to decry the mess, which has left some cities literally overflowing with waste.

Galaxy S4 "Mini" Rumors

It has been a couple weeks since we had a good "Galaxy S4 Mini" rumor, but today Engadget has found "leaked specs" on this phone from Samsung that will be a cheaper version of their flagship S4. Nothing is official yet of course, but the lower specs could be possible in order to reduce the price. 

Samsung has a thing for releasing budget chasers soon after the main shot. There have already been strong hints of a GS4 Mini to capitalize on the flagship's buzz and now a purported leak over at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

bCODA MultiShare USB Jak Review

We have just posted our review of the Jak from bCODA.  This is a USB device that plugs into your TV and acts as a wireless drive that contains the contents of your Android phone.  The Jak can play back images, movies and music from a host of Android devices and can play these on your favorite TV or PC that comes equipped with a USB port.  Take a look and see what the Jak offers and if it's all that.

I'd never heard much about bCODA before this review and I've got to say I'm a little impressed with the company.  If what they say is true - that they want to make powerful products that are super simple to use, they stand to become very popular down the road.  The Jak is the first product we've seen from them and while the experience isn't flawless, it's not that bad either.

KALQ: A Better Smartphone Keyboard

Typing on a touchscreen smartphone isn't all that great, but a new type of keyboard called KALQ is hoping to finally change that. The concept behind the KALQ keyboard is pretty cool and they've done a ton of research in order to make this keyboard efficient and optimize two thumb typing. PSMag has the details on this new keyboard.

 

Let’s admit it: two-thumb typing sucks. Even dumb-phone users—T9, anyone?—know the frustration of picking up a friend’s Droid and trying to dash off a quick text.AutoCorrect #fails are practically a 21st-century art form. For as much as mobile apps have sped up our lives, there’s still nothing slower than touch-screen typing.

Enter KALQ, a new keyboard layout optimized for thumbs. Designed by a team of German computer scientists to replace the universally popular QWERTY keyboard on phones and tablets, KALQ dramatically increased the word-per-minute rate at which test subjects were able to type.
