Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Internet Project: The Skies Have It
Facebook last week announced more detailed plans to bring affordable
Internet access to every person on the planet. Mark Zuckerberg, the
company's chief executive, revealed some fresh details about the work
Facebook's Connectivity Lab is carrying out to build drones, satellites
and lasers geared to providing connectivity for everyone as part of the
Internet.org initiative.

Nvidia's ECS: Some Amazing Little Companies to Watch
Nvidia's Emerging Companies Summit, a place to check out some of the
firms that could become the next breakout company, didn't disappoint
this year. Among the highlights: A firm that could redefine advertising
connected to Web pictures and videos; a company that could put your
entire desktop and gaming experience in the cloud; and one that could
help you actually hear that TV you see at a bar.

Apple Patent Addresses Texting-Walking Risk
Texting and walking can be dangerous, but Apple could be aiming to make
it less so, judging from a patent awarded Thursday by the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office. Apple has found an innovative way to use an
electronic communication device's camera to continuously capture and
present video images as background within a text-messaging session,
suggests its Transparent Texting patent application.

There's a New Kid on the Solar System Block
Astronomers this week reported what they believe to be the most-distant
member of our solar system discovered so far. 2012 VP113, a probable
dwarf planet that was found to lie beyond the known edge of the solar
system, was discovered by Chadwick Trujillo, an astronomer at the Gemini
Observatory in Hawaii, and Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie
Institution for Science.

Today's Story Highlights

Newspapers Cling to Life Despite Online News Trend
Print media is limping along and TV news has gained some strength, even
though the trend toward getting news online continues to grow, Pew
Research reported this week. It all boils down to economics, said Mark
Jerkowitz, associate director of the Pew Research Center Journalism
Project. Advertising revenues for newspapers have fallen about 50
percent from 2006.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80212.html

US Judge: Free Speech Protects Baidu's Beijing-OK'd Results
A Manhattan judge ruled that a Chinese search engine's practice of
restricting free speech is, wouldn't you know it, protected by free
speech. Chinese Internet company Baidu won the dismissal of a U.S.
lawsuit filed by activists who objected to its, shall we say, selective
search results, which adhere to the government's notoriously limited
view of what is and isn't acceptable.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80218.html

New Linux Office Suite Too Soft to Be King
The Kingsoft Office Suite holds the promise of bringing a near perfect
clone of Microsoft Office to Linux desktop users. However, Kingsoft's
developers still have some work to do on the Linux Alpha release to make
it a beta deal. Other than OpenOffice and LibreOffice, the Linux
platform lacks any full-featured office suite. Both of these more in
common with each other than distinguishing features.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80209.html

Facebook Makes Unreal Acquisition
Facebook has agreed to acquire Oculus VR, maker of the Oculus Rift
virtual reality gaming hardware. Facebook will pay around $2 billion for
the company. That figure includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million
shares of Facebook common stock, valued at $1.6 billion based on recent
average trading price. There is a provision for an additional $300
million earnout based on performance.

Today's Story Highlights

Bioprinting, Part 2 - The Ethical Conundrum
Nearly 120,000 people in the United States are on the waiting list for
an organ transplant that may save their lives, according to the American
Transplant Foundation. "In the short term, we need many more people to
register to be a potential organ donor," said Jordan Miller, assistant
professor of bioengineering at Rice University.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80205.html

Microsoft Launches Public Cloud in China
Microsoft is now offering general availability of its Azure cloud
service in China, becoming the first multinational company to provide
public cloud services in the Middle Kingdom. Microsoft is partnering
with 21Vianet, a Chinese data center services provider, a marriage that
likely helped appease Beijing officials. Until now, all major cloud
providers in China have been Chinese.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80207.html

HTC Flips Switch on One M8 Buzz Machine
Ask the Internet. That's the pitch in HTC's TV ads for its new flagship
smartphone, the HTC One M8. It's a pitch that hopes to acquire by word
of mouth what HTC was unable to get for its predecessor: consumer
mindshare. "The challenge for any vendor outside of Samsung and Apple in
the North American market is to get on the radar screen," said Gartner
analyst Van L. Baker.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80200.html

Is Google Thwarting Android-x86 Development?
Has Google been spreading FUD to discourage computer makers from using
an Android OS retooled to run on legacy computers? The maintainer of the
Android-x86 Project has suggested that the Justice Department should
investigate whether Google has been interfering with adoption of the
open source code his community is developing. The FOSS development world
is hardly free of rivalry and power plays.

Today's Story Highlights

Bioprinting, Part 1: The Promise and the Pitfalls
It's long been the dream of humans to be able to regenerate body parts.
Scientists have been researching this possibility for years, but the
subject is complex, and they are just beginning to get to a glimmer of
understanding as to what's required. "There are different layers of
complexity in developing tissue-engineered products," said Charlie
Whelan, a consultant at Frost & Sullivan.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80198.html

Rocket the Vote! NASA Asks People to Vote on New Space Threads
NASA is asking people to vote on their favorite design for the outer
shell of the new Z-2 spacesuit. While the Z-2 models may descend from
their Apollo 13-style ancestors, there are some decidedly 21st Century
twists. The "Biomimicry" design, for example, has a reptilian flare;
"Trends in Society" has a more everyday look -- at least, as far as
spacesuits go.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80199.html

Obama, Legislators Tackle Bulk Surveillance Issue
The political frenzy over the NSAy's collection of Americans' bulk
telephone metadata is escalating, with both the White House and the U.S.
House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee announcing plans to
introduce legislation to regulate the practice. The White House's
proposal reportedly would require phone companies to store the data and
provide it under a court order.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80195.html

Rumor vs. Reality in Silicon Valley, Part 1
Like most small, inbred communities, Silicon Valley encourages and
thrives on gossip, even when it's of little substance. In popular-speak,
Valley gossip has a "low signal to noise ratio," but the rumor mill is
vibrantly alive despite that shortcoming -- partly due to venture
capitalists, whose efforts parallel the day-to-day business of
technology.
