Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Falling Apples and Magical Pancakes
Apple dropped a few new facts about its Watch at this week's
presentation. The hardware is interesting in that Apple is limiting what
people can do with their 8 GB of storage. No more than a quarter of that
can be filed with music, and photos can take up just 75 MB, which seems
somewhat rudimentary. I'm glad to see the battery apparently lasts
enough to see out a full day.

Asus to Sport Powerful New Nvidia GPU
Nvidia on Thursday launched the latest in its GTX 900s series of mobile
GPUs -- GTX 960m and 950m -- designed to make a gaming laptop as future-
proof as possible. Asus' recently unveiled GX501 is one of the machines
that already has incorporated the latest Nvidia tech. The new GPUs
include such gaming-enhancing features as BatteryBoost, ShadowPlay and
Optimus.

Twitter Tries, Tries Again to Reduce Abuse
Twitter this week updated its rules to combat online abuse and revenge
porn, in the wake of continuing outrage among netizens. The most
significant change is a new statement that users may not post intimate
photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's
consent. Sounds good, but like last month's update, it's more bark than
bite.

Apple's Researchkit Could Be Gold Mine for Hackers
Apple earlier this week announced ResearchKit, an open source framework
that will let medical and health researchers gather data through iPhone
apps. ResearchKit will be released in April. Apps to monitor asthma
patients and for studies on breast cancer survivors, cardiovascular
health and Parkinson's Disease, already have been developed using
ResearchKit.
