The mysterious Google X lab is at it again, and this time they are unleashing a top-secret internet service that goes by the code-name “Project Loon”. Google's plan is to eventually launch thousands of internet-beaming transmitters into the stratosphere, carried afloat an extensive network of hot air balloons.
According to the Associated Press, the balloons will be made of a thin polyethylene film that is approximately 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter. Drifting through the air at an altitude of 12 miles (20 km), the wireless antennas will hopefully bring internet access to some of the most remote areas of the planet. At the present day, only ~2.2 billion people are online, while the remaining ~4.8 billion do not have access to standard broadband. If this works, Project Loon will greatly expand internet coverage across Africa and Southeast Asia.
Mike Cassidy, the project’s leader, added, “It’s a huge moonshot, a really big goal to go after. The power of the internet is probably one of the most transformative technologies of our time.”
To provide power to the balloon’s radio and flight equipment, each unit will be equipped with solar panels. On the home front, users will attach large antennas to their houses to receive the signal; antennas which currently resemble giant red pins, not unlike those seen on the popular Google Maps interface.
Charles Nimmo, a farmer from the small town of Leeston, was the first person to successfully receive internet via Project Loon, albeit for a short 15 minute period. Up to 50 other households have also volunteered to be preliminary test subjects, and they will briefly receive internet in the coming weeks as the balloons pass overhead.
Nevertheless, Google’s project is still in the early testing stage. There is currently no word on how much they have invested in the system, or what the expected cost is for customers.

The internet is a gift; an extensive data sharing network that has enabled us to do so much good. It has revolutionized the way we communicate with one another, schedule events and vacations, manage our finances, and even receive an education.
Unfortunately, the internet also has the potential to do evil. Criminals can hide behind the blanket of anonymity that the web provides, and there is no better example of this behavior than the child porn industry. In many cases, these images find a permanent home on popular search engines such as Google - a practice that the California-based company is working hard to eradicate.
According to The Telegraph, Google’s engineers are developing a new technology to crackdown on the transfer of child pornography through online channels. Google’s system will enable other search engines and websites to ‘flag’ these photos as indecent, where they can then be deleted automatically.
Past efforts to earmark such images have been ineffective, with the main difficulty stemming from a lack of an industry standard. Using this knowledge, the new software aims to create a unified platform upon which the elimination of child pornography can begin. The software was originally designed in 2008, and the company now believes that the project had progressed to the point where it will be operational within the year.
Scott Rubin, a spokesperson for Google, added, “Each offending image in effect gets a unique fingerprint that our computers can recognize without humans having to view them again. Recently, we have started working to incorporate these fingerprints into a cross-industry database. This will enable companies, law enforcement, and charities to better collaborate on detecting and removing child abuse images.”
Not surprisingly, Google’s efforts have earned them considerable praise from advocates of child safety. This is not only due to the ground-breaking technology that they are set to release, but also because of a $2 million fund that the company has created. This money will be used to help independent software developers produce their own programs for use in the war against child sex abuse.

Samsung seems dead-set on constantly increasing the size of smartphone displays, but will Apple respond? Rumor has it that Apple is, indeed, going to enlarge the iPhone once again this year, but I’m not going to hold my breath. After all, Cupertino isn’t exactly known for its willingness to bow to outside pressures.
Since the iPhone launched six years ago, the rumor mill has been insisting that the screen is going to get larger. Those rumblings were unanimously false all the way up until Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 last September with a larger 4-inch screen. Now, Reuters is reporting that it has four different sources from Asian suppliers promising that Apple is ramping up for a phablet-sized iPhone.
Truth be told, this all sounds like malarkey. Earlier this year, a report came out showing that only about 3% of mobile users had a phablet. In comparison, 72% of users had medium-sized phones. Frankly, it seems unlikely that Apple would want to fragment its products even further just to snag a tiny extra bit of the market. One of the biggest appeals of the iOS platform to many consumers is the simplicity. Having a 3.5-inch display, a 4-inch display, and a third display active at the same time truly muddies the waters. Cupertino bit the bullet, and upped the iPhone’s screen size just nine months ago. It seems incredibly unlikely that it would do that again so soon. This rumor just doesn’t fit Apple’s modus operandi.
That said, a larger version of the iPhone most certainly does exist. In his video appearance at the WWDC keynote earlier this week, SVP of Design Jony Ive went out of his way to explain some of the core aspects of Apple’s design philosophies. His team develops countless iterations of a product, but only sells the best one. While Apple is most assuredly testing a wide range of potential iPhones sizes, that doesn’t mean we’ll see another size increase any time soon.
Obsessing over screen sizes is shortsighted in any case. Usability, price, and aesthetics all make much more of a difference to the average consumer. If Apple spent all of its time chasing the latest moves of its competitors, it wouldn’t be where it is right now. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad wouldn’t even exist. If I had to place a bet right now, I would wager that we’ll see a certain smaller iOS device long before we see a bigger one.

Here’s the scenario: you’re signing up for a new service or web account and without fail, the username you’re interested in is already taken. Sure, you can attach a string of numbers or characters to the end but it’s not really the same. We’ve all been there before but fortunately, Yahoo will soon be doing something about it.
The company just announced on their tumblr that starting July 15, any Yahoo ID that has been inactive for over a year will be reset and made available once again. This will give newcomers as well as seasoned Yahoo veterans the opportunity to stake a claim at a refined username.
If you don’t want your existing Yahoo ID to be reset, Yahoo suggests that you simply log into any Yahoo product before July 15 – it’s that easy.
It’s unclear exactly how the process will take place but awarding new IDs doesn’t look like it’ll happen on a first come, first serve basis. Instead, Yahoo notes that anyone can have a shot at scoring the ID they want in mid July and then check back in mid August to discover which one they got.
It’s anyone’s guess as to how many Yahoo IDs will ultimately be deactivated but if I had to guess, it’ll probably be a lot considering the company was founded in 1995. Surely there are millions of people that created accounts early on that no longer use them for whatever reason, right?

The world’s biggest cell-phone maker, Samsung, caused a stir last week by announcing an ultrafast wireless technology that it unofficially dubbed “5G.” And the technology has, in fact, been tested on the streets of New York.The system is impressive but is still in development—which is true of all the technologies that will underpin the next generation of wireless communications. When 5G does arrive, it will likely combine new wireless protocols with new network designs, spectrum-sharing schemes, and more small transmitters.Samsung says its new transceiver can send and receive data at speeds of more than a gigabit per second over up to two kilometers—and it could deliver tens of gigabits per second at shorter distances. This compares to about 75 megabits per second for the latest standard, known as 4G LTE. The Samsung technology relies on 28-gigahertz frequencies, which can carry commensurately more data but can be blocked by buildings, people, foliage, and even rainfall.Samsung says it has greatly mitigated these problems by sending data over any of 64 antennas, dynamically shaping how the signal is divided up, and even controlling the direction in which it is sent, making changes in tens of nanoseconds in response to changing conditions (among other features, it can catch stray reflections of signals that had bounced off an obstruction). The company did not grant an interview request, but the technology is described in this 2010 patent filing.The work has also been tested in the real world. Last summer, an academic lab, NYU Wireless, part of the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, did performance tests for Samsung in New York City and Austin, Texas, and found that the technology, which is also known as millimeter-wave cellular, could work well even 200 meters away from the transmitter, and even in a cluttered environment. “A lot of people have the same reaction: ‘How can it work?’ But we showed that it can be done,” says Theodore Rappaport, director of NYU Wireless. “Our measurements have helped give Samsung and the rest of the wireless industry confidence that (28-gigahertz) wireless is viable.”Still, the ranges involved suggest that high-frequency technologies will be best for short-range hot spots, says Jeff Reed, director of the wireless research center at Virginia Tech. “I am skeptical that they will be able to deliver high data rates with the mobility that we have become accustomed to with 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular systems,” he says. “Meanwhile, we still have plenty of room to improve 4G systems that operate at more favorable lower frequency ranges.”It’s certainly true that so far, the industry has only implemented the most basic features of 4G LTE. More sophisticated features will allow improvements in data rates. One of them is “carrier aggregation,” or the ability to use multiple frequencies at the same time to send a signal. Another is the use of multiple antennas, in ways akin to Samsung’s technology. Finally, various signal-processing tricks can effectively boost bandwidth by intelligently coördinating the efforts of base stations and devices on the networks to avoid interference.Beyond these enhancements, greater used of unlicensed spectrum—such as that used by Wi-Fi equipment—can offload traffic inside buildings to provide a huge boost; after all, some 70 percent of mobile traffic comes from people inside homes and offices.

At Computex 2013 in Taiwan, Asus has announced the Transformer Book Trio, the “world’s first” three-in-one laptop, tablet, and desktop PC (!). To obtain this rather dubious title, Asus has created a single device that runs both Windows (desktop and laptop), and Android (tablet). That’s not the weird bit, though: Whereas most modern computers get by with just one CPU, the Transformer Book Trio has two: A brand-new Haswell Core i7 chip for Windows, and a Clover Trail Atom CPU for Android.
Putting aside the obvious nomenclature issues — the Transformer Book Trio is clearly not a desktop PC — the Transformer Book Trio is actually a stroke of genius. If you’re not up to speed on Asus transformers, let me explain. The Trio’s predecessor, the first Transformer Book, was essentially a Core i7 tablet that plugged into a keyboard docking station. Beyond providing a keyboard, the dock also contained a secondary battery and some expansion ports (RJ45, USB, DisplayPort). Essentially, though, the first Transformer Book was simply a tablet that plugged into a dock.
The Transformer Book Trio, however, puts an Atom CPU in the tablet — and a Haswell Core i7 processor and 1TB hard drive in the docking station. In other words, the docking station is now a fully fledged laptop, but without a monitor.

The tablet portion of the Transformer Book Trio has an 11.6-inch screen at 1920×1080, 64GB of storage, and it’s powered by an Atom Z2580 (Clover Trail) SoC at 2GHz. This is the top-of-the-line Clover Trail+ CPU, featuring a dual-core SGX 544MP2 GPU, but it’s still pretty weak in the grand scale of things. Power consumption for Clover Trail+, however, is pretty good. Operating-system wise, the tab runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but... [url]tech-latests..com[/url]

Microsoft has recently spilled plenty of Windows 8.1beans, but one thing it failed to mention was fingerprint reader support.
That doesn't mean Windows 8.1 won't allow fingerprint scanning as a security measure, though, and a new report today suggested that it in fact will.
According to The Verge, Windows 8.1 will up Microsoft's native support for biometrics and fingerprint recognition technology.
It will even include the option to lock folders to individual fingerprints. Nifty, eh?
Fingerprint reading: more useful than it sounds

Users will be able to associate their unique fingerprints with their Windows 8.1 Microsoft Accounts, the publication reported.
That fingerprint will then allow them to log into or purchase apps, lock folders, and more.
It sounds like fingerprint reading will be possible both with external hardware peripherals and as a feature built-in to some Windows 8.1 devices.
In fact, Microsoft's Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus said during the company's Tech-Ed talks this week that the company is working with hardware manufacturers to have it included.
The company is also reportedly working on getting more OEMs to build the technology directly into their own tablets, laptops, mice and keyboards.
We've asked a Microsoft spokesperson to clarify exactly how fingerprint recognition technology will be implemented in Windows 8.1, and we'll update this post if we receive more information.
Windows 8.1 is almost here

It's been rumored for months that Apple is about to get big into fingerprint reading, but this is the most we've heard about it talked about for Microsoft's newest OS.
The company plans to unleash Windows 8.1 on the public June 26 as part of Build 2013. We hope to play around with this fingerprint tech, plus figure out just what the heck is up with the Start tip.

With the headline “Iranian Scientist Claims to Have Invented ‘Time Machine’,” and a picture of the Delorean from “Back to the Future,” The Telegraph stirred up some controversy earlier this week.
According to the UK paper, there’s been yet another scientist who claims to have invented a Time Machine which does not operate in any way like most think a Time Machine should.
This latest invention, created by Ali Razeghi, doesn’t deliver a human to the past or even displace time in any way at all. Instead, this machine which Razeghi claims can be assembled with only $400 worth of parts, prints off predictions about a persons life several years in the future.
The article has been turned upside down by HuffPost, which has found some oddities in Razeghi’s story.
Razeghi seems to be taking his latest invention very seriously and has registered the name “The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine” with the Iranian Centre for Strategic Inventions.
The 27-year old inventor also has another 179 inventions under his belt but said he has been working on his “time machine” since he was 17 years old.
“My invention easily fits into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the next 5-8 years of the life of its users. It will not take you into the future, it will bring the future to you,” said the Iranian inventor in his interview with the Telegraph.
According to other interviews, the Aryayek Time Traveling Machine works by analyzing the user’s touch and then printing off a list of predictions about that person’s life with alleged 98 percent accuracy.
Wielding this kind of power could be tricky, of course, and Razeghi says he plans to only use it selectively, such as letting a couple know the sex of their child. In his interview, the inventor also mentions being able to predict the outcome of a war.
HuffPost isn’t so willing to buy this story and notes that several other news sources feel the same way.
For instance, the Telegraph cites an interview Razeghi gave to the Iranian state news agency Fars. This story has since been deleted by the news agency following the attention the story has received. The news agency’s site also has a science section written in English, a section where this story never appeared.

Motorola, seemingly desperate to remind the world that they are owned by Google and not quite dead yet, offered up some wild ideas about how people will one day connect with their smartphones and mobile devices. The conversation spun out of the topic of wearable computing, but went deeper into embedded and even ingestible computing.
According to Motorola’s senior vice president for advanced technology and former head of DARPA, we may one day use our entire body as an authentication token, a promising prospect considering the weakening nature of passwords. Similarly, an embedded device may also work as a login key to authenticate your identity.
Regina Dugan worked as the head of DARPA (the same agency responsible for robotic pack mules and cheetahs) before making the jump over to Motorola as their senior VP for advanced technology and projects. The new projects Motorola is reportedly working on are nothing if not advanced. Dugan showed off an electronic tattoo which could act as a key to computers, smartphones and other devices. Unafraid of futuristic technology, Dugan is dogfooding this project and has already had one of the devices embedded into her forearm. Motorola is working with a company called MC10 to build these embeddable keys, and Dugan said she believes this could be the real future of wearable computing, taking a subtle shot at Google Glass or Apple’s rumored iWatch.
“Teenagers might not want to wear a watch, but you can be sure they’ll wear a tattoo just to piss off their parents,”said Dugan during the All Things D interview in which she showed off these devices.
In a second Jetsonian example, Dugan and Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside showed off a magical pill being created by Proteus Digital Health. This tiny ingestible tablet begins to work when it first comes in contact with the acid in the human stomach. Once there, it creates and broadcasts an 18-bit Internet signal in the body which can also be used as a password alternative.
Dugan has humorously dubbed this “Vitamin Authentication.”
Now that Motorola is owned by the the nation’s largest search engine, these ideas smack of Google’s edgy, forward thinking and creep-factor-be-damned ideals. Dugan and Woodside were quick to mention that the Vitamin Authentication would be completely optional and that though the pill has been approved by the FDA, they are nowhere near ready to be shipped.

Google recently launched a new feature that’s part of Google Trends called Top Charts. As the name suggests, Top Charts is used to view a snapshot of the top searches across a plethora of topics ranging from actors and animals to books and business people.
The service is an extension of Google’s annual Zeitgeist which is simply a list of the top global searches for a given year. These reports are typically released in mid-December but with Top Charts, you'll no longer have to wait and see what the world is searching for. Top Charts will update on a monthly basis, we’re told.
Search data dates all the way back to 2004 despite the fact that the service just launched. It uses data from Google’s Knowledge Graph which ties keyword searches to real life things. As Google explains it, when you look at a chart for a specific topic or thing – like the Golden State Warriors – you’re actually seeing rankings based on multiple search terms that are all related to the same topic.
Top Charts, like every other algorithm, isn’t perfect and there’s likely to be abnormalities that spring up from time to time. As CNET suggests, Google could have trouble with certain homophones like Pit Bull (the rapper) and pit bull (a type of dog).
In related news, the search giant also launched a full screen visual that shows current trending searches. The colorful display showcases a constantly changing array of search topics in all languages in a format that looks somewhat like an animated screensaver.

Microsoft is attempting to cater to Windows 8 users that don’t have a touchscreen with the announcement of two new pointing devices, the Sculpt Comfort Mouse and the Sculpt Mobile Mouse. Redmond is taking a unique approach by placing a Windows key on each mouse. It seems a bit odd at first considering this key is traditionally part of the keyboard but when you factor in the importance it has in Windows 8, it isn’t quite as shocking.
The Bluetooth-enabled Sculpt Comfort positions the Windows button on the left side for easy thumb access. But Microsoft took it one step further by making the button touch sensitive as well. As such, users can swipe up to toggle open apps and swipe down to launch the multitasking menu. There’s even haptic feedback built in that gives you a physical confirmation that a command was registered although this function is completely optional.
Other than the Windows key, the Sculpt Comfort doesn’t bring any other innovation or creature comforts to the table. In fact, The Verge described it as a standard, inexpensive and plasticy mouse. It’ll be priced at $39.95 when it becomes available next month.
The Sculpt Mobile Mouse is much like other mobile mice from Microsoft except there’s a Windows key directly behind the scroll wheel. The pointer uses a USB dongle for connectivity rather than Bluetooth so you’ll lose a USB port when using it. That’s probably not a huge deal as you’re more likely to use this portable pointer while traveling with your notebook instead of with a desktop machine.
It will retail for $29.95 and should be available alongside the Sculpt Comfort next month. We Hope It Gets To Nigeria.

When you’re out all day, it’s a huge pain to charge your mobile devices. Even if you remember to bring a charger and get lucky enough to find a free electrical outlet at a coffee shop, you still have to sit there for around an hour or so to get a full charge. 18-year-old high school student Eesha Khare invented a tiny device that could potentially charge a phone in around 20 to 30 seconds.

At this year’s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, Arizona, Khare displayed her tiny device. Referred to as a supercapacitor, the item is small enough to fit inside a standard smartphone battery. To demonstrate the device, she had it power a small LED — certainly not a power-hungry smartphone battery that dies before your train gets to your stop. Along with lasting around 10,000 charge cycles (as opposed to a standard battery’s 1,000), the capacitor is also flexible, so it can be maneuvered into oddly shaped spaces.

Khare’s capacitor (which we hope she’ll call the Khare Kapacitor if it ever hits the market) incorporates nanostructures to help store more energy per volume than a standard battery, hold a charge longer, and deliver a charge more quickly. After charging it for just 20 seconds, she was able to power that small LED. She hasn’t applied the battery to mobile devices just yet, but the theory has been tested, and that is the supercapacitor’s eventual goal.
