Apple Watch Starts Shipping in April, Tim Cook Confirms
We knew it was coming sometime this spring, but now we have a more narrow timeframe: Apple Watch starts shipping in April, Tim Cook said. So it's not an exact date, but we're getting closer.

The company reportedly hasn't publicly committed to a date because Cook and co. are still working on the device's battery life. According to a recent 9to5Mac scoop, Apple is aiming for 19 hours of mixed active and passive use, but isn't sure it can nail that goal for the first generation of Apple Watches.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
New Vivaldi Browser Aims to Win Over Power Users
There's a new browser aiming to win the hearts and minds of power users. Called Vivaldi, the Chromium-based browser comes from a team led by Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder and former CEO of Opera Software. Vivaldi is available now as a technical preview for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The overall look of Vivaldi is a mix of a classic browser UI and the more sparse, modern interpretations in browsers like Chrome and Microsoft's upcoming Spartan. In the upper left corner, you have a small menu button; below that the address bar with home, back, forward and refresh buttons to its left. There is also a left sidebar for quick access to browser features such as bookmarks, contacts, downloads, and notes. At the very bottom of the sidebar is a settings icon for quick access to your browser's preferences.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Can drones hunt with wolf pack-like success? DARPA thinks so
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is set to detail a program the agency wants to come up with software and algorithms that would let unmanned military aircraft hunt in packs like wolves. The Collaborative Operations in Denied Environment or CODE program looks to extend unmanned aircraft mission capabilities well beyond the current state-of-the-art, by creating a modular software architecture that is resilient to bandwidth limitations and communications disruptions, yet compatible with existing standards and capable of affordable retrofit into existing platforms and in the end letting groups of unmanned systems work together under a single human commander's supervision, DARPA stated.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
