Today's Story Highlights

Spray-On Battery Could Slip Power Into Tighter Spaces
Researchers at Rice University have developed a paint that works as a
battery, and it could change the way batteries are produced and reduce
energy storage restrictions. The paint-on battery is similar in material
balance to traditional lithium-ion batteries. It has five layers -- a
positive and a negative current collector, a cathode, an anode and an
ion-conducting separator in the middle.

Apple Products See the Unpolished Side of Chrome
Mac owners have been having more than a few headaches with Google's
Chrome browser. Owners of new Macbook Airs have been complaining for
several days that their devices have been freezing or crashing when they
use the Chrome browser. Google confirmed that the problem is a leak of
graphics resources in the Chrome browser related to the drawing of
plugins on Mac OS X.

Plex for Android Is Pretty but Pixelated, Plodding and Painful to Use
Plex is a good looking media platform for running media files on Google
TV, tablets, phones and so on. Online channels include Hulu, Vimeo and
more. On looks and apparent tight integration between my existing
Android-based devices, I decided to check out Plex's two Android apps. I
was interested in particular in how well they integrate Android tablets
and Google TV.

Modbook, the Mac Tablet of Yore, Marches Back Into Action
The Modbook Pro, a converted MacBook Pro that has been modified by
Modbook and is billed as the first Mac tablet, is set to return to the
market later in 2012 after an absence of several years. Its predecessor,
the Modbook, which was based on a MacBook, was one of the best-of-show
winners at Macworld 2007.

Apple Draws Up Blueprint for iTunes Renovation
Apple's iTunes may be getting a facelift soon. The new iTunes Store will
be rolled out later this year -- most likely along with the next
generation of Apple's popular iPhone -- and sport improved discovery and
sharing capabilities, as well as better iCloud integration, according to
a report.
