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.

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.

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.

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.
