Today's Story Highlights

Vintage Video Games Reloaded
The movie and music industries over the past three decades have reaped
profits from their vaults. Technological advances in hardware provided
new revenue streams for old media. The electronic entertainment industry
largely has failed to reap the same rewards. Many older video games
essentially are unplayable unless the gamer has an old console or PC
sitting around.

Android Studio 2.0 Aims to Rev App Development
Google last week released a preview of Android Studio 2.0 at the
inaugural Android Dev Summit in Mountain View, California. The preview
offers several updates, including Instant Run and a new GPU Profiler.
Instant Run lets developers see changes to code running on their devices
or emulators, while the GPU Profiler lets users profile their OpenGL ES
Android code.

New US Asteroid Mining Law Could Violate International Space Treaty
President Obama last week signed the U.S. Commercial Space Launch
Competitiveness Act, which governs ownership of asteroid resources,
possibly triggering a new battle in the commercial space race. Section
5103 of the Act gives U.S. companies the right to resources mined from
asteroids, although it does not give them rights to the asteroids
themselves.

Massive Hack Attack on Educational Toy Company Exposes Parents, Kids
Officials of several U.S. states on Monday have opened investigations
into a massive data breach that occurred last month at VTech. The award-
winning Hong Kong-based maker of electronic learning toys for kids on
Friday announced that its Learning Lodge database was breached in a hack
attack on Nov. 14. Learning Lodge offers apps, learning games, e-books,
and other educational content.

Gadget Ogling: Zippy 3D Printing, Custom-Molded Earphones, and Fast-Food Buttons
One of the current issues with 3D printing is that it can take some time
to create physical versions of large or complex designs. Nexa3D's NX1
prints objects as much as 100 times faster than competitors, with
printing speeds of about a centimeter in height every minute, according
to the company. It uses light on a certain type of resin to speed up the
process.

How Technology Could Prevent Another Paris-Like Attack
What I find fascinating is that with all of the focus members of the
intelligence community place on violating our privacy, they still aren't
able to stop attacks like the one in Paris. Currently they are
complaining that it is our fault for implementing encryption that blocks
their often-illegal views into citizens' personal lives. I think that
even if encryption didn't exist, they still would be ineffective.
