TSMC Finally Clinches Deal To Manufacture Processors For Apple

It has long been rumored that Apple will be tapping Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. or TSMC to build the chips for its mobile devices. This move has been anticipated for a long time, as Apple is quite obviously distancing itself from one of its toughest rivals, Samsung. The Korean company, despite being embroiled in several lawsuits against Apple, produced chips for the Cupertino outfit.

Xentry Enlists Old Smartphones As Wi-Fi Door Sentry

Let us say that you have one of the older iPhones lying around the home, or even the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate that proved to be quite the popular smartphone a few years back, and have no idea on what to do with them. Let US startup Xavage Technologies help you out here, where it has come up with what they call the Xentry, where it will transform an old (but still working) iPhone or Galaxy S Fascinate into a door-mounted caller-display, letting you check out just who has come a-callin' on your front door, while letting you communicate with them (even using a voice changer in the process for that added bit of security).

Developers Work On Xbox 360 Game Patches For Free

In what is deemed by many to be an important step when it comes to encouraging small game development, word has it that Microsoft has decided to end its policy of charging developers plenty of money (to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, it seems), to roll out patches for their game. This has been deemed by many to be an antiquated policy which was in place beforehand in order to reinforce the idea that by forking out plenty of dough, developers will then only submit important, well-tested patches, but more often than not, this ends up on the flipside – it prevents patches from being released, at all.

Jeep Cherokee name revival reignites question of cultural insensitivity

The New York Times has published a new story that tackles the issue of ethnically charged product naming, this time in the auto industry. The paper dusts off the discourse because Chrysler has resurrected the Jeep Cherokee moniker for its latest model. Writer Glenn Collins uses the new Jeep as a jumping off point for a merry stroll through the auto industry's history of culturally insensitive and/or politically incorrect names and advertising. In the piece, Chrysler representatives say that reusing the Cherokee name isn't meant to offend anyone, noting that the company hasn't received any feedback about the name being disparaging.

Poppy Lets You Shoot 3D Photos With An iPhone

There are some interesting projects that appear on Kickstarter from time to time, and this time around, the crowd-funding website has shown off Poppy, an accessory for your iPhone which might just spark off a new wave of creativity for owners of the smartphone from Cupertino. The Poppy looks like a Viewmaster-like contraption which would allow you to capture 3D images with your iPhone, sharing them using social networks afterwards. Anyone with an iPhone 3GS or older will have to sit out on the Poppy though, although 5th-generation iPod touch owners will still be able to enjoy its benefits.

Buttercup The Duck Gets New 3D Printed Foot

Dogs run, butterflies flit, and ducks – well, they can certainly fly, but I suppose swimming would be another suitable verb to describe them. For a duck to lack one foot, it would pretty much be having an eagle get around with a broken wing, as the missing foot would certainly hamper its movement, whether on land or on water. Buttercup the duck, however, was born with a backwards left foot, hence ensuring that his prospects for a happy future looked bleak. The backwards left foot made it difficult and painful to walk, resulting in cuts as well as the risk of infection all the time.

Stealth barcodes track individual items during the manufacturing process

Hitachi Power Solutions has developed an item management system, which helps to improve traceability in manufacturing facilities. This system uses item IDs printed in stealth ink, which is hard to see with the naked eye. The ink is made visible and read using UV light, and each ID is associated with production data. Even in lots with thousands or tens of thousands of items, this system enables every single product to be managed individually.

“Usually, manufacturer's codes don't need to be seen by everyone. So, we've decided to use stealth codes. A feature of these is, they can be printed anywhere.

Facebook is playing damage control today after a data breach potentially exposing the email addresses and phone numbers of Zuckerberg and Co's 6 million users had the social network sending out apology letters. No, this wasn't a terrorist attack, merely a glitch in Facebook's Timeline download feature where a user could download their entire timeline but in a strange twist, download the email addresses and/or phone numbers of everyone Facebook calls “People your may know.”. Nothing terribly huge, but something many users definitely may not have been cool with.
