Gmail now recognizes email addresses from non-Latin alphabets

BYBrad Molen @phonewisdom6 hours ago

Since the beginning of time -- or at least since email was invented -- most email services have required the use of non-accented characters from the Latin alphabet for each individual's address. It's inconvenient for those who don't natively use that alphabet, which means that more than half of the world's population have been frustrated. Here comes Google to the rescue: Gmail (and soon to be Calendar, we're told) now recognizes email addresses that have accented characters or use non-Latin alphabets, so you'll be able to send and receive correspondence to these types of addresses as much as you want, and soon Gmail will let you create non-Latin accounts to call your own.

It's all thanks to an email standard established by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) two years ago. Now it's simply up to each individual email service to officially support that standard. Gmail isn't the first email service to give it a shot. A provider in Taiwan is currently conducting a public trial, and Chinese email addresses began surfacing as early as 2003. But with the standard now set, we'll likely start seeing more providers follow Google's footsteps.

Pebble's smartwatch now comes in pink, blue and neon green

BYNicole Lee @nicole6 hours ago

If you'd like a smartwatch that'll match the glow sticks at your next rave, then we've got good news for you. Pebble has just announced a Limited Edition run of its original smartwatch in three eye-popping colors: Fly Blue, Fresh Green and Hot Pink. They're decidedly more fun and hip than the classier Steel Pebble released earlier this year, but that's intentional: We're told that this Limited Edition run is specifically targeted at the younger back-to-school crowd. Like the original Pebble watches, all three colors are available for $150 each. Gallery | 6 PhotosPebble in Fly Blue, Fresh Green and Hot Pink + See all 6

Myriam Joire, Pebble's chief evangelist, tells us that the idea for the colors actually originated from a "#ColorMyPebble" campaign that ran a couple of years ago as part of the original Kickstarter. The winners were orange and gray, but the team always wanted to expand its color repertoire beyond that to include the runners-up, and now it has. Interestingly, getting the color of the silicone band to match that of the polycarbonate watch proved to be a challenge -- Joire joked that the team spent some time deciding on just the right shade of pink.

Of course, as with the original Pebble, the watchbands on the Limited Edition versions can be swapped out to your heart's content -- any 22mm watchband will do. "Customizing is a big part of what we want our watches to be," said Joire. Speaking of customization, Pebble also released a set of new text watch faces to match the new colors, which should be available on the Pebble appstore starting today. Also available is a new app from The Weather Channel. And last but not least, Pebble also announced that an animated Reading Rainbow watch face with an 8-bit LeVar Burton should be coming soon, to coincide with the release of the special Reading Rainbow Pebble watches later this year.

The FBI uses malware to combat online anonymity

BYChris Velazco @chrisvelazco5 hours ago

CE53N2 Hacker using laptop. Lots of digits on the computer screen. Stealing; Thief; Identity; Laptop; Hacker; Computer; Securit

Online anonymity is a beautiful, terrible thing, so naturally governments and law enforcement types are eager to see what happens behind the web's closed doors. Naturally, that includes the folks at the FBI: According to Wired, the FBI has been using "network investigative techniques" -- like highly specific, purpose-built malware -- to help peel back popular anonymizing service Tor's layers of obscurity to catch criminals.

The bureau's efforts began in earnest with an involved child pornography investigation dubbed Operation Torpedo back in 2012. They eventually lucked out by gaining access to a CP site called Pedoboard, arresting the operator, taking over the servers, and delivering malware to visitors who thought they were protected by Tor.

There's no denying that some good has come from the bureau's use of malware, as Wired's Kevin Poulsen points out that more than 12 child porn aficionados are headed to trial as a result. The flip side of that coin is that the FBI's success with Operation Torpedo led to another effort to bypass the anonymity that Tor provides... and possibly exposed some innocent people's information to the FBI's eager eyes. With a little Javascript, understanding of Firefox and Tor security issues and a "tiny" Windows program, users of some Tor-hidden services like Tormail (hosted by an outfit called Freedom Hosting, which itself was being investigated for "tolerating" child porn) essentially had their IP addresses unmasked.

Apple will reportedly announce its next iPhone on September 9th

BYBrad Molen @phonewisdom5 hours ago

Apple Unveils New IPhones at Cheaper Price to Combat Rivals

Grab that box of sodium chloride, folks -- it's rumor time. Re/Code is reporting that Apple will hold its next iPhone event on September 9th. And while any publication can pull a date out of the hat and report on it, this particular entity has a good track record predicting Apple events (even when it was AllThingsD). This date places it just a few days after Samsung's upcoming product launch at the IFA trade show in Berlin; traditionally, this is where the Korean manufacturer announces its next Note flagship smartphone, so it's not too hard to see Apple taking on its arch rival with a similar-sized product. According to rumors, the company plans to introduce a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch version of its next iPhone. Still, nothing's set in stone, so we'll let you know as soon as we get official word from Cupertino.

Update: Both Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal are also corroborating the September 9th report with their own sources.

Slingbox M1 review: A pricey streamer, but worth it for frequent travelers

BYBen Drawbaugh @bjdraw5 hours ago

It's been 10 years since Sling Media was founded, and here we stand with the fifth-generation Slingbox, the M1. Like all Slingboxes before it, the M1 can stream live and DVRed programs to your mobile devices, but this time, it's $150, making it the least expensive model yet. In particular, it's $30 cheaper than its predecessor and boasts the same feature set, but with the addition of built-in WiFi, so you don't need to park the box next to an Ethernet jack. So do the price cut and built-in WiFi make it a more worthwhile purchase? Let's find out.

83Sling MediaSlingbox M1

Pros

1080p video qualityIntegrated IR blasterBuilt-in WiFi

Cons

Relies on IR for controlPricey compared to competing productsOnly the desktop app is freeCan't watch via the browserSummary

With the addition of built-in WiFi and a $30 price cut, the M1 is a solid replacement for the Slingbox 350. While it does still have a higher upfront cost than competing products, it can also stream content that no other device can -- namely, live sports and any other content you've already paid for through your cable subscription. If you're a big sports fan or a frequent traveler, this could be a worthwhile purchase.

Hardware and setup

At 1.7 x 7 x 4.3 inches the M1 is slightly smaller than the Slingbox 350 it replaces. The notification lights and connections are almost the same too, with the M1 dropping the USB port and picking up a WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) button around back. The power and "someone is streaming something" LEDs are exactly the same, though the network indicator will now light up for either wired or wireless connections. This time, though, the crazy texture is gone, replaced with a glossy black plastic. Overall, the design feels like a step down from the 350.

The WPS button can, of course, be used to facilitate the super-easy WiFi Protected Setup, but also serves to kick off the wireless setup via the app for those who don't use WPS. Basically, you hold down the WPS button until the network LED blinks and then launch the app to follow the prompts until you enter your SSID. Aside from just getting the connection info from your phone -- if that's even possible -- it couldn't be simpler. For those of you who've embraced the post-PC-era idea, you'll be thrilled to know this is the first Slingbox you can set up using the mobile app. Gallery | 11 PhotosSlingbox M1 review + See all 11

Like the previous generation of Slingboxes, the M1 has an integrated IR emitter that can control your set-top box as long as it's within a line of sight, and also includes a 3.5mm jack for an included external IR emitter. While there's no doubt that IR is the only truly universal way to control set-top boxes, there are other methods. I really wish Sling would add control via IP to the devices that support it (TiVo and DirecTV). At the very least, this would be more responsive and reliable than IR, but it could also mean two-way control. This could bring the M1 more in line with the way Sling streaming works when integrated into a Dish Network DVR -- so you can browse a list of recordings via the app instead of relying on streaming the DVR interface and sending button presses to navigate.

I'd be remiss if I didn't take the time to explain why the omission of HDMI on the M1 isn't a big deal, because it isn't. While HDMI is the de facto standard of home theater video interconnects today, it isn't well-suited for a Slingbox because it's usually encrypted. Assuming Sling could even obtain a license from the folks who control HDCP, it'd without a doubt come with strings attached -- strings, I imagine, you wouldn't like. So as long as HD set-top boxes output both HDMI and component simultaneously, I won't miss the DRM-laden input on our Slingbox -- the analog sunset is bound to eventually rain on your parade there.

The only other component limitation worth mentioning is that while the M1 will stream 1080p video, the component video specification doesn't officially support it. But considering no major broadcaster in the US broadcasts 1080p, this also isn't a real problem. Plus, I found the quality of the M1's de-interlacer sufficient, so really, the lack of HDMI and native 1080p sources is a non-issue.

Software

The big deal here is that the PC and Mac desktop clients are back, but first, some bad news: The desktop client is the only free app. So, if you'd like to stream content to your iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire tablets, Android, Windows Phone or Windows 8 (modern UI) it's still going to cost you $15 (per platform). Windows and Windows Phone 8 support is coming too, according to Sling's website.

The other bad news -- depending on your perspective -- is that the M1 isn't supported by the Slingbox.com web viewer. That's not something I'd miss, but surely there's someone out there who will. At launch, Sling also said you can now stream content to your Apple TV or Roku via the mobile app, and use them as the remote (no on-screen controls), but a support article on Slingbox.com indicates this functionality will also be coming to the Chromecast. This isn't a completely new feature, but the ability to do a "full handoff" so you don't have to keep the app open is a welcome change.

The picture quality still starts out low, and ramping up to a high-quality feed still takes longer than I'd like, but I continue to be impressed by the quality of Sling Media's adaptive bit-rate technology. Its ability to adjust the quality depending on the available bandwidth (from audio only up to high-quality 1080p) is very much appreciated and something I wish every streaming device could match. On WiFi, I saw between 1,885 and 3,685 Kbps to my iPhone 5s, while the connection via AT&T LTE only peaked at 1,052 Kbps (the Slingbox was connected to the internet via a 75/35 FiOS connection). In either case, the video and audio quality was almost always watchable during my testing, which means the M1 lives up to the Sling name when it comes to streaming quality.

The desktop client is indeed back and it's about time. There are three views: standard, full window and full video. Full video is like any other full-screen app -- no borders, no menus; just video from edge to edge like a TV. Standard and full window are both "windows" smaller than the full screen, with the difference being that standard includes a guide on the side to make it easier to find the channel you'd like to watch. Ultimately, the desktop app is just a SlingPlayer app, but since it's one that doesn't require a web browser and works like a real application, that's enough in my book.

There is one change I've been waiting for -- and continue to wait for -- and that's an easier way to watch sports. I firmly believe the best use case for a Slingbox is watching out-of-market sporting events while traveling, and for some time now, I've been bemoaning the lack of software to make this easier. Something like TiVo's What to Watch Now sports filter, Media Center's Sports lounge or a mobile version of the SlingTV's UI with stats and scores from Thuuz would be perfect. Instead of taking you to live TV or the typical grid guide when launching a SlingPlayer app, it'd take you to a list of scores (or just a list of games, for those who dislike spoilers), with streaming access to a game just a tap away.

The competition

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, WatchESPN; the list of streaming options today goes on and on. None of them require an upfront cost or installation. But each of these has a different selection of content, and none of them offer the same selection of live sports programming that traditional cable and satellite TV packages do. The proliferation of live sports streams online is on the rise, but it still has a relatively limited selection. It's also plagued by regional blackouts, and the adaptive streaming is pretty unreliable -- the streams can stop completely, instead of just degrading in low-throughput situations.

While sports fans are the least likely to cut the cord, most others still pay for traditional TV and about half have a DVR. And even if you do already have a cable box, Sling could enhance the experience by allowing you to stream content you already paid for. The Dish Hopper and the TiVo Roamio both bake in place shifting, with Dish using Sling's technology and TiVo fans wishing the Roamio did too (read our Roamio review to see what I mean). Ultimately, Sling continues to offer a unique product that's almost as useful as it was 10 years ago, before all these other streaming options were available.

Wrap-up

It's been two years since we reviewed the previous-generation Slingbox and not much has changed. WiFi is included now and the price is lower, but our main complaints are still unaddressed -- upfront cost, non-sports-optimized view, IR control only and having to pay for each of the mobile apps. Of course, none of that diminishes the value of the Slingbox, even at a time when there's no shortage of video-streaming options. The reality is that even 10 years after Sling Media was founded, the primary limitation in video streaming is content licensing; as it happens, the Slingbox isn't bound by such things. So, in an age when Aereo is considered a copyright violation, I'm glad there's still a Slingbox. Because despite the relatively high price, when it comes to streaming content you already paid for, particularly live sports, the Slingbox is still your best bet. 0 Comments

3D-printed food could expand the options for hungry soldiers

BYBilly Steele @wmsteele4 hours ago

In a recent issue of Army Magazine, the possibilities of 3D-printing tech for military use are outlined in great detail. We've already discussed the research into crafting mission-specific weapons, but expanding culinary options for soldiers is high on the to-do list as well. Currently, Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) provide 24 rather unappealing options -- like the imitation pork rib pictured above -- that won't spoil and still provide nutritional value. Heck, a suitable pizza option just arrived recently, and it lasts for three years. Now, with the advances in 3D-printed food, the Army is researching ultrasonic agglomeration that fuses particles with ultrasonic waves to expand the menu. In addition to constructing meals to suit varied tastes, 3D printing allows the addition of specific nutrients (like protein or vitamin C) to a dish as needed. And the project isn't stopping there, as printing on-demand with a compact unit capable of using foraged ingredients is within the realm of possibility during missions.

Sony Holds News Conference On New E-Reader Service

Sony announced the closure of its own Reader store in favor of Kobo's platform earlier this year, and now it seems the company is nixing e-readers entirely. BBC reports that the Japanese outfit doesn't plan to release another device with last year's PRS-T3 serving as the most recent option. Thanks to Amazon's Kindle lineup and a growing number of tablet options, dedicated reading slates have seen declining sales since 2011.

A motorized bike will help you survive the apocalypse

BYBilly Steele @wmsteele3 hours ago

When the apocalypse arrives (zombie or otherwise), you'll need to be prepared for anything. Part of said preparedness should certainly involve transportation, and thanks to the folks at Motopeds, there's a legit option. The Survival Bike: Black Ops Edition hits the trail with a compound crossbow, fuel storage, shovel, tomahawk, harpoon, blade saw, climbing gear, lights and a smattering of tools and knives. To keep you on the correct (read: covert) path, there's a handlebar mount for that trusty smartphone or GPS unit needed to navigate. Unfortunately, there's no word on pricing, but the company's regular chassis kit includes everything you'll need minus the 4-stroke engine for $1,999.

The Big Picture: SpaceX Falcon 9 departs from Cape Canaveral

BYBilly Steele @wmsteele3 hours ago

Before most of us here in the States woke from last night's slumber, Elon Musk's outfit launched a rocket into space. The SpaceX Falcon 9 blazed across the sky from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 4AM ET, carrying an AsiaSat 8 satellite to deploy into orbit. Liftoff came just hours after the announcement that the company's new facility and the world's first commercial launchpad would be built in Brownsville, Texas.

Jack White's 'Lazaretto' Ultra LP is the best-selling vinyl release in 20 years

BYBilly Steele @wmsteele2 hours ago

Since its release in early June, Jack White's Lazaretto Ultra LP has sold 238,000 copies -- making it the most popular vinyl release of the year. That tally also earns the artist's second solo album the best-selling record of any year since Pearl Jam's 1994 effort Vitalogy. Billboard also reports that number two on the vinyl sales chart for 2014 is Arctic Monkeys' AM with 29,000 units sold and Daft Punk's popular Random Access Memories sold the most in 2013 with 49,000. Of course, Mr. White adds this accolade to a trophy case that includes a Guinness World Record for the fastest release awarded back in April.
