Today's Story Highlights

Kepler-438b and 442b: Are These the Planets We're Looking For?
Astronomers have discovered eight new potentially habitable planets
beyond our solar system, including two that are the most similar to
Earth of any discovered so far. First identified by NASA's Kepler
mission, all eight of the planets are located in their distant suns'
"habitable zone," or the region where liquid water might exist on the
surface of an orbiting planet.

Will Apple's 12-inch MacBook Air Use One Port to Rule Them All?
There is a hot new MacBook Air rumor that's got the tech press all in a
flutter, and get this: It's not about a long-awaited Retina display for
the MacBook Air. Instead, the rumor claims that Apple's redesigned
MacBook Air will be remarkably smaller, with a 12-inch screen -- and
just one port. The new MacBook Air design reportedly will drop the
current MacBook Air's USB 3 ports.

Virtual Reality Makes Leaps and Bounds at CES 2015
Samsung this week unveiled its Milk VR platform for its Gear VR headset
at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas, but it was far from alone in
ramping up the virtual reality action at the show. HP introduced the Zvr
Virtual Reality Display, and Razer rolled out its Android-based OSVR.
Not to be outdone by these upstart efforts, Oculus gave a peak at its
Rift controller.
