Today's Story Highlights

Instagram Hyperlapse Sparks Time-Lapse Video Craze
Instagram has released Hyperlapse, a free iOS app that takes the jitters
out of time-lapse video. Just two weeks ago, Microsoft demonstrated a
similar technology that bears the same name. The Instagram app "is the
most impressive effect to hit smartphone video in recent memory," said
Ross Rubin, principal analyst with Reticle Research. An Android version
is not yet available.

Scientists Zap Diamond With Laser to Record Quantum Behavior
Researchers recently developed a technique to record the quantum
mechanical behavior of one electron in a nanoscale defect in diamond.
The team used ultra-fast pulses of laser light both to control the
defect's entire quantum state and to observe how the state of one
electron in the defect changes over time. "This experiment uses a
'trapped' electron," said team leader David Awschalom.

Google Gives Glass a Good Polish
An update to the software that runs Glass gives users of Google's
wearable computing device more control over their interactions with
contacts. The latest version of the software -- also known as version
XE20.1 -- adds the flexibility to choose how to reach out to a contact
after selecting the person from the contacts list. Users now can swipe
between Hangouts, email or SMS.

Open Source Software: Sailing Into Friendlier Seas
Open source software is now a force drawing enterprises and developers
like a magnet. The factors pulling adopters into the open source fold
are changing, though. Also changing are the attitudes of software
developers and corporate leaders about the viability and adaptability of
open source. Open source software is increasingly important within the
corporation.
