Today's Story Highlights

Bubblews Will Give You a Penny for Your Thoughts
Bubblews, a social media platform that offers to pay users for their
posts, last week moved out of its testing phase, which began in 2012. It
emerged with a new look designed to attract users who might be
dissatisfied with other social media offerings. Bubblews is attempting
to build a self-sustaining ecosystem in which users who create engaging
posts are paid for their work.

Stanford Researchers Build a Better Battery
A new way to extend battery life would allow smartphones to last three
to four times longer on a single charge, Stanford University researchers
have found. A team led by Yi Cui, professor of materials science and
engineering, has developed pure metal anode prototypes, which differ
from the lithium-ion batteries seen in most devices. "I think this is
very promising," Cui said.

The Skully Augmented Motorcycle Helmet Would Make Iron Man Jealous
Skully had its coming-out party last week, and while the name
unfortunately sounds like the nickname for any number of comic book
villains -- from Skeletor to the Red Skull -- it is actually a firm that
makes a pretty incredible high-technology motorcycle helmet, with
technology similar to Google Glass. Motorcycles have lagged cars in
technology for some time.

The Shocking Truth About Torvalds' Home Office
If the Linux world has anything akin to royalty, Linus Torvalds surely
must be its monarch. So what could be more natural than for the Linux-
loving masses to want to see where he works and lives? Fortunately for
FOSS fans, none other than the Linux Foundation has stepped up with an
answer to that desire in the form of a video showcasing Torvalds' home
office. Think it's tidy? Think again.
