Europe and South Korea join forces to standardize 5G, even though true 4G still isnt available
2014-06-16 18:30:42| Extremetech
Europe, perhaps a little bit embarrassed about being so far behind the US's deployment of 4G LTE, has announced that it will work together with South Korea to develop the next-gen 5G standard. As you may be aware, though, all of this is much easier said than done: While carriers and marketing bods are keen to move onto 5G for obvious reasons (money!!!), the rest of the industry is still working on LTE and LTE Advanced, with no real intention of moving to 5G any time soon.

Whats exceptional about the current drought and what isnt
2014-05-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Half of the country is currently in some state of drought. In California right now, the entire state is in a state of drought. But despite what you may have read, neither of those particular points of data is cause to panic. One of the charges leveled against people advocating political action on climate change is that they're "alarmist," prone to exaggerating the effects of extreme weather. In April, Sen.

Please, Microsoft, dont put Windows XP to sleep on April 8 the world isnt ready yet!
2014-01-20 17:49:19| Extremetech
On April 8 2014, almost thirteen years after it was first released, Windows XP will finally breathe its last breath and die -- officially, anyway. From that date, Microsoft will no longer support the inveterate OS, meaning instability bugs and security vulnerabilities will go forever unpatched. With Windows XP's desktop market share still around 30%, and many enterprises still months or years away from upgrading to Windows 7/8, these unsupported and insecure machines represent a serious risk to the health and security of the internet and other high-tech infrastructure. If just a single zero-day vulnerability is found after April 8, it will never be fixed. There's no telling what damage cybercriminals might sow with such an exploit.
PointGrab aims to create a motion-controlled smart home, but the home isnt ready

Whenever advanced motion and gesture controls are discussed, Spielberg's Minority Report is inevitably brought up. At this point, the movie's motion control has been referenced so much, that it's customary to reference how it's always referenced. Rather than waxing poetic about the film, the Israel-based PointGrab is set to debut its new in-home motion and gesture control system that aims to make everything in your house controllable by pointing and swiping at it, including your computer.
