| Microsoft Planning Next Windows Phone Release for This Holiday Season Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:59 AM PST  
In the listing, Microsoft is looking for a software development engineer which would work on Windows Phone software. Specifically, the listing claims that "this is a great time to join as we're completing our current release are getting ready for our next release targeting the holiday of this year." "Next release" does not give us much in terms of features or any other details, but we'd expect the update to be a major one, since Windows Phone 8 was launched in October 2012, and the previous major update, Windows Phone 7.5, was released in Septembe… More About: microsoft, windows phone  |
| Intuitive Weather App Is Lovely and Free Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:36 AM PST
The iOS app is a virtual six-sided cube covered with weather information. The initial screen shows today's weather with six specific details -- temperature, cloudiness, windiness, humidity, percent cloud coverage and accumulated precipitation -- on Windows 8-esque tiles. Tapping any of those tiles will give you details of what to expect throughout the day. Swipe right up to three times to see similarly detailed summaries of the next three d… More About: apps, mobile apps, Tech, Video, Weather  |
| ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Passes $1 Billion Worldwide Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:05 AM PST
According to Box Office Mojo, the movie has earned $301,134,992 domestically and $700,000,000 in foreign movie theaters, for a total of $1,001,134,992. It earned an amazing $84,6 million in its opening weekend, and it took 77 days for it to cross the one billion mark. "The Hobbit" is likely to climb even higher on the all-time box office earners list, as the movies directly above it -- "The Dark Knight," and "Alice in Wonderland" are quite a bit older, while Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's famous… More About: box office, Movies, the-hobbit   |

Since founding chief executive officer, Jason Kilar, and chief technology officer, Tom Rich, announced in early January their plans to step down in the first quarter of this year, neither Hulu's current leadership nor its owners (Comcast, News Corp and Disney) have discussed publicly their plans for the video-streaming service. According to a report published by The Wall Street Journal on Friday, News Corp and Disney have begun discussing possible next steps for Hulu and their own stakes in the company. The Journal reported that both companies -- which each own between a quarter and a third of the video service -- have suggested purchasing the other's st… More About: comcast, disney, hulu, hulu plus, News Corp   |

| Toddler ‘Functionally Cured’ of HIV, Doctors Say Posted: 03 Mar 2013 07:02 PM PST
The two-year-old toddler, who was treated with antiretroviral drugs early in his life, no longer has "detectable levels" of HIV, even though he has not taken medication to treat the virus for 10 months. Deborah Persaud, associate professor of infectious diseases at the John Hopkins Children's Center, and Katherine Luzuriaga, professor of pediatrics and molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, presented this groundbreaking case study at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta on Sunday.

| Second Oreo Separator Machine Surfaces, Sprays Hot Creme in Your Face Posted: 03 Mar 2013 05:55 PM PST
This is apparently a thing now, and you know what? That's fine. These videos are surprisingly cool for a thinly veiled marketing campaign. It might be because they combine a lot of things I love: science, fine video production, facial hair, and junk food. This second machine doesn't make use of a hatchet like the first one, but it does spray hot creme in your face, so there's that. The first Oreo separator we saw had one primary purpose -- to eliminate the creme because David Neevel doesn't like it. This new machine from Barry Kudrowitz and Bill Fienup, two toy scientists in Minnesota, tries to make better use o… More About: oreo, Oreo Separator, viral videos   |

Just a few seconds remained in the New York Section 1 Class AA Boys Basketball Championship, ninth-seeded New Rochelle trailed third-seeded Mount Vernon by two points. New Rochelle had possession, with Edney inbounding from under the basket New Rochelle was defending. He tosses a prayer pass to half court. The pass is stolen, but for some reason the Mount Vernon player tries to pass the ball to a teammate. Edney, who hadn't given up on the play, intercepts the pass and hurls… More About: basketball, Sports, Video  |

| Inside the Fight to Legalize Cellphone Unlocking Posted: 03 Mar 2013 09:18 AM PST
Why Is Unlocking Illegal? Cellphone unlocking was legally allowed as an exemption under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) from 2007 through Jan. 26 of this year. Following the change, customers must get their carriers' permission to unlock their phones (some carriers offer some phones unlocked, as is the case with Verizon Wireless' iPhone 5, but that's an exception to the rule).
