Amazon Preparing to Release Smartphone
Retailer Has Plans to Announce Phone by June,
Begin Shipping by End of SeptemberFrom: http://online.wsj.com
'The people' said Amazon hopes to distinguish its phone in a crowded market with a screen capable of displaying seemingly three-dimensional images without special glasses, these people said. They said the phone would employ retina-tracking technology embedded in four front-facing cameras, or sensors, to make some images appear to be 3-D, similar to a hologram, the people said.
The phone would thrust Amazon into a competitive market with entrenched players that has nearly felled once high-flying device makers like BlackBerry Ltd. and Motorola. With Apple and Samsung alone commanding 49% of the worldwide smartphone market, according to market researcher IDC, there is little room for upstarts.

Houston, We Have Free NASA Software
From: http://www.lucid8.com
As Wired Magazine reports, NASA is about to give away a fantastic wealth of free, top-of-the-line coding. Some 1,000 different projects will be available to the general public–some, such as their rocket guidance system will only be available to a select few people (as if that will stop it from finding it’s way into the black markets of the internet). NASA hopes their designs and creations will be used as a launching point for entrepreneurs and hackers to push their creations into new and exciting and hopefully beneficial territory.
What we mean by giving them away is that this code will be completely open source and royalty free. And the push for making this data available comes, from all sources, the US government. The White House ordered agencies like NASA and DARPA, or Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, to begin making these large tech transfers with the hopes that putting them into the public’s hands will spark new innovations from entrepreneurs.
