Today's Story Highlights

A Deep Dive Into New Scuba Tech
Scuba divers always have relied on gear that lets the essentially
fragile, air-dependent human body descend into oceanic depths. While air
tanks, regulators, buoyancy control devices and dive computers have been
around for years, digital technologies are altering how they function,
how they're used, and how well they work. One recent innovation is
iGills.

Microsoft Accidentally Applies Chinese Censoring Outside of China
Microsoft cited an "error in our system" for quirky results given to
users making searches in Chinese on the company's Bing search engine.
Chinese-language searches outside of mainland China were yielding
results that mirrored those inside mainland China, where Bing filters in
accordance with the whims of Beijing. This resulted in wildly different
results for English vs. Chinese language searches.

New Technique Hikes Printed-Cell Survival Rate
Researchers have developed a new technique for printing live cells by
drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese woodblock printing. Scientists
have been experimenting with different methods of printing cells,
including using inkjet printers to build 3D cell layers. The method has
been successful in several instances, including a recent study in which
researchers printed adult eye cells.

Mayer Moves Search Higher on Yahoo's To-Do List
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has been more active than a kid on a sugar high.
The company on Wednesday announced a partnership with Carnegie Mellon
University to advance personalization and mobile technologies. On the
same day, Mayer told employees that Yahoo would be partnering with Yelp.
Mayer on Tuesday said she was keen on contextual search, speaking at a
conference in San Francisco.
